Welcome to Jackson Latell!   Jerry and Andrea Latell are the proud parents of newly arrived (April 18) Baby Boy Jackson.  Jerry and Andrea are key players in the racing program at Rappahannock River YC and honchos of Ullman Sails Virginia.   Jerry said that Jackson already has joined Mom and Dad on the boat and looks forward to his first actual sail as soon as the weather permits. 
 
Dana Dillon, Amarylyn (Catalina 30), who along with a crew of friends-racers, did the Cape Henry Cup, and broke yet another spinnaker pole - it bent at a 90 degree angle.  When they hit the dock, they announced that Dana has declared he will henceforth buy spinnaker poles by the discount dozen pack.
 
Weekend before this past , 9  5o5s did 8 races over two days at the HYC Trapeze Regatta.  Tyler Moore along with crew Jesse Falsone crushed the other 8 teams with a string of 1-2-3 (4) -1-1-1-1.  There were sailors on the teams from Australia, England, California, Florida, Virginia, and Maryland. 
 
MURPHY'S LAW:   I will neither confirm nor deny that Yours Truly, Murphy The Racing Beagle, was spotted and photographed while in the Bahamas.  It is true that there was a picture of a "senior" beagle wearing a grass skirt and a tiara in a recent edition of Latitudes & Attitudes Magazine.   I say those darned picture phones should be outlawed.  Remember, what happens at Southern Bay Race Week, stays at Southern Bay Race Week!    /S/  Murphy the Racing Beagle, the sailing spirit in us all.
