Re: Ohio Laser circuit

[lover of words <hbourne (at) IX.NETCOM.COM>]

hey! somehow I missed this thread until now. we just re-activated the fleet in
columbus, at hoover reservoir (small but fun).

we've got a bunch of juniors and a bunch of over 30's/over 40's.

we're planning a bigger regatta next year --that's not until september, though. I'm
a newbie but would love to try travelling with my boat....
