October 7th, 2006, 9:31pm - Friday's Synopsis: The Alamo Classic has started with about 16 of the 28 skippers checking in for Fridays practice at the venue. With the passing of a recent cool front, the temps stayed in the 50's today with a nice north wind (first time this year for both!). Weather this weekend is scheduled to be sunny and clear with light north winds and plenty of Mexican food. Some of ya'll might of noticed that Woodlawn website was down for the past 35 hours, and it was quite a scare for Eric and me. Of all days to shut down the server for routine maintenance, it had to be yesterday. Well Eric's quick thinking and sweet talking the server folks, they got us back online today around noon. One way or the other the show would go on! So continue to check the website for updates and photos as the weekend sails on. But don't forget it might be a long night tomorrow since the Dallas boys are feeding us with the Chili cook-off. And this is on top of the Texas BBQ we serving everyone for lunch. Like it's written in the Sailing Instructions for Woodlawn Regattas, "Nobody goes home hungry! See ya at The weather mark! Ray Seta - Vic # 88 "Black Pearl".....argh matey-surrender the booty!!!

October 7th, 2005, 9:30pm - Eric and Lea Gregory check on Joe Sheffield and his daughter who are guarding the Venue overnight. John Oliveira, the RD is also there and he keeps the small group entertained for the next two hours.
