What's the Hitch for Fort Myers?

For those going to Fort Myers River Romp...

Coach Boat Tow.  We still need someone to tow a coach boat.  We have three coaches going -- Juan for RBW, and Kyle and Corey for Green.  That means we need three coach boats.  The LYC truck is towing the Opti trailer.  We have two parents each towing a coach boat.  We need a third.  If you have a trailer hitch and you're not towing your own boat please help the the team out.  If you do, you'll get to partake in that free Green Fleet Beer program we're trying to start.  Some call it hazing.

If you can't do it this time but are willing to ameliorate your guilt by signing up now for Martin County, please let me know.

Weather & Wind.  After the last post some parents asked what weather sites people often use for wind prediction.  This is a good topic of conversation for around the beach and bar, but some of the more popular are below, with links to Ft. Myers for this Saturday.

Here's a free preview -- it looks light and sunny.

Gear and Parts.  With such beautiful weather planned, you might not need some of the gear offered by someone I forgot to introduce to the newer parents and sailors.  Matt Coleman, whose son graduated Optis and now sails Lasers, is well-known to us and offers Zhik products with his Zoum Opti dealership (check the links).  Matt is a wealth of knowledge about all things Opti and will also have a display at Ft. Myers, further south along the beach toward the bridge.  You'll see him around the club a lot, he's a great resource, and it's worth stopping by this weekend when you can check out his stuff.
