We spent the morning yesterday getting registered and measured. After a successful Senior Worlds last week, St. Margerets Sailing Club has everything down pat and running like clockwork. It took about 5 minutes to measure in my boat. Another great thing about Lasers. If you don't scew it up yourself, there isn't much that can go wrong.
Danny came through Saturday afternoon. lots of rain and some wind, but it was pretty much out of gas by the time it got to Halifax. He did wash out the opening ceremonies and dinner which was to feature the RCMP band. The dinner is rescheduled for Tuesday, but the RCMP are riding off to save the day somewhere else and won't be able to play for us.
We had to turn our boats upside down in preparation for Danny. Strange site to see 300 Lasers upside down on the grass. They looked dead.
We old guys got the primo parking spots down by the water and launching areas thanks to David Hartman who told me he threatened to have a heart attack and others might as well if they made him haul his boat up and down the hill every day. I guess they listened. Thanks David.
The GGMs have a very tough 42 boat fleet with lots and lots of experience and skill represented. As a relative newbie to the Laser, I am looking forward to learning a lot.
