Title: Thanks to the Rear Commodores and all ice checkers Post by: DN 805 on February 14, 2008, 08:23:59 AM It is not an easy task to be a DN Rear Commodore.
1) They all have day jobs. 2) They are continually communicating with sailors at ice sites throughout their regions. 3) They access every weather website in the universe, consult with local weather forecasters, and agonize over every snow flake or rain drop. 4) They maintain hotlines and an email network, as well as posts on the Forum 5) They put together race committee and scoring teams, never knowing for sure when and where these folks will really need to go into action. 6) They find places for regatta headquarters, set up the arrangements, and then cancel. 7) They try to prep and race their own boats. 8) They're gracious to all. It's a dirty job, but one that is essential to the DN Class. You all have our sincere appreciation for your efforts. ...DN 805 Title: Re: Thanks to the Rear Commodores and all ice checkers Post by: Ken Smith on February 15, 2008, 07:49:17 AM Mark:
Not to mention: Keeping a gorgeous wife happy and raising a beautiful baby girl... Providing a nurture ground for newcomers to the sport, a shop that birthed 10 boats last year, and Keeping an E-scow program running. Thanks. |
