WolfTrap Race This Sat. to close Long Distance Series and begin Fall Series
on Thursday September 16, 2004 10:52AM
It does not appear we will be adversely effected by Ivan or Jeanne, but conditions may be a little uncomfortable. Please, be attentive to communication from this events' RC, Brooks Zerkel, including feedback to Mr. Roberts in the event of any problems and/or any individual abandonment of the race. The RC crew are responsible for the fleet's whereabouts and safety, as well as, it goes without saying we need to look out for each other. If the Y flag is flying, all crew must be wearing life jackets, period! And it probably is a good idea to have all your crew with life jackets on, regardless...Just makes good sense...there's enough you have to worry about as is, and this is about having fun, even in challenging conditions. Conditions look reasonable at the moment, but could easily change.
