Title: American DN Team makes it to Lake Balaton, Hungary Post by: Dan Connell on February 05, 2010, 06:34:02 PM Greetings, we all made it to the regatta site in Hungary. Great hotel, good food, big ice and promissing forecast. Stay tuned for updates this week. Commodore Connell request more funding for the team. Dollars just aren't what they used to be....

Hope they remember that the driving laws in Czech Rep. are no tolerance for lets just say partying. Rudi should be showing them a great time! Good luck to all. DN4099
