[C38] Bad News

[Joseph Launie]

Robert,
     Familiar story for that race. In the 1970's I was on the race 
committee for that race from Windjammers. One memorable year I was the 
escort boat and got a first to finish gun. In those days finish was at 
Buoy 5 with a committee boat anchored there. It was just after dawn and 
we approached under power, main up, headsail down flying a 4 foot by 6 
foot race committee flag and got the gun. It seems the committe had been 
there awhile and had been breakfasting on Bloody Marys. We tied up along 
side and finished the first few boats until SWYCcould send out 
replacements. Joe
