Re: Ohio Laser Sailing

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

I'm a 35 year-old female living in Columbus, Ohio. A fairly new sailor (two years
now), I crew for a windmill (similar to a Vanguard 15) and sail my Laser at our
small inland reservoir (Hoover).  When I'm not sailing, I work as an editor for a
company that creates e-learning.

I just want to add that I am especially interested in meeting and promoting laser
sailors on the proposed Ohio circuit who fit the following categories:

women
radial
masters (35+)

I'm also interested in meeting people from around Cincinnatti/Miami Univ area as
I will be travelling there frequently.

Thanks,
Hallie Bourne
