Ed,
What does any of that have to do with getting a fleet of R22's to compete  in 
a charity event to raise money? I was hoping I could even get you to pry open 
 your wallet, dust off a few Jackson's and come up to the good  end of the 
lake for this event and do a little "for fun" racing. Yes,  alcohol is an 
important part of this event as it always is with sailors  everywhere. I have never 
seen so many Mt. Gay red hats in the same place at the  same time. You are 
about the only non-drinking sailor I've ever known. Perhaps a  little Rum in your 
stomach would even change your perspective on  politics......couldn't hurt. 
:) My stomach hurts so much from laughing as I'm  writing this.
And, my wife really enjoys this as she is navigator and enjoys plotting and  
mapping the course and keeping us all on the proper track. Get the starch out 
of  your shorts and plan on joining us next year....you would be the 3rd R22 
and  possibly Art could be the 4th. I'm already counting on Captain Bob as the 
2nd  R22....hint, hint!
