PRESS RELEASE: LET THE SHOW BEGIN!
RE: FINAL PROMO
Skippers & Spectators,
This will be my final promo before THE SHOW's start tomorrow. I
have just come from the lake, where skippers from Alabama have
already arrived and are sailing. Time Warner Employee and Race
Director JOHN OLIVEIRA is working at the late this afternoon setting
up the imfamous "PIRATE CAM" and testing as I type. Weather forecast
is looking perfect for the weekend. All the reports of rain and 20-25
mph of wind are all gone and now Weather Channel is forecasting lows
in the 60's, highs in the 80's, and 10 - 15mph of wind for both
Saturday and Sunday from the prevailing Southeast. How perfect does
that sound for Texas, much a Victoria Nationals?! Everything right on
schedule with the Reception/Registration Party, Sponsored by "Alamo
Beer" will begin tomorrow evening at 7PM. Brian Roberts will also
give a "State of the Class" report, and be open for discussion for
topic concerning the future of the Victoria Class Association.
Now for those stuck at home this weekend or having to work, be
sure to come by the Official Website of the 2008 Victoria Nationals
this weekend, online 24 hours! Follow the links and directions for
the "Pirate Cam" and watch the action "LIVE". If you are at work I
suggest that you turn the volume down, as you never know what might
be said during one of Eric Gregory's Live Interviews. He's had a
reputation of interveiwing skippers after a great win during a race
or after being hacked back to B-Fleet at any given time! You just
never know what Skippers will say when put on the spot.
Just a reminder, the website is:
www.woodlawnsailingclub.org
As I mentioned before this will be my last report/promo for the
Vic Yahoo site for now. Thanks you for all the time I have taken up
these past few months as the need for information is always important
to skippers traveling to any event at the Woodlawn Sailing Club. The
Pirates of Woodlawn are ready to host for you an event that I hope
you find enjoyable.
Thank you and Safe Travels
Ray "Capt Jack" Seta - Regatta Chairman 2008
