Daniel Hearn:
Nice job, Mike! You've worked hard to make this happen, and have been very transparent about what you've got to offer. If it were not for a parental care issue I have to take care of this weekend, I'd be there. Wishing you a great regatta.
Best,
Daniel

Dave Frost brought the marks ,starting line and kept reminding me it was going to be awesome.
Peter Van Rossem brought up trophy from Kingston,did a lot of the PRO work and calculated scoring.
