Hi Susan & Paul:
We are hoping to attend. Tom would like Salmon - I would like Steak.
Only comment from us is that we learned about Current Tables and bought them this year ... the information in the Current Tables is very old news for most sailors, but for newcomers to west coast boating such as us, the Tables made a huge difference to our San Juan experience (to know which way the water was going before we tried to go in the opposite direction!). Tom would probably prefer to go sailing on Saturday - probably the same for me.
Thank you for organizing this event.
Cheers,
Janette O'Flaherty & Tom Chudleigh - CHARABANC 30U 369
