Day 11 Ephraim and Measuring in

Day 11, Saturday, August 1, 2009

Door County
Up early for a walk with Missy, good thing, since it started raining as soon as we returned home and the Lake is pretty solid whitecaps. Ryan and Carrie were also out walking Alfie! They needed to organize some equipment and ready the troops for measurement. We rested and hoped for the rain to stop. Registration started at 10:00 and we arrived at the school soon after that. It's now sunny and breezy!!

11:00 done measuring! How cool is that to be done in 1 hour. The volunteer crew is top notch and has everything running smoothly at this area and at the boat storing areas (Ephraim YC and the local boat ramp).






1:15 done setting up at the Club! (we think!) Per a lottery system, we procured prime real estate for the Pig at EYC. It was really great to catch up with folks we haven't seen in a while.

On a more serious note, we learned this morning from Linda Danilek that Jeff Penfield had an episode of decreased heart rate and is hospitalized at Dartmouth Hospital in VT. We spoke and he says he'll be "getting an updated electrical system" (aka, pacemaker)on Monday. Linda sent a care package and flowers and signed from us all at the NAC.
Our thoughts and prayers are with him, and the family. He said it was ok to let everyone know, as we're sure they appreciate everyone's support. He is feeling fine now, his heart rate is normal, and he's frustrated and a little bored with the thought of being in the hospital over the weekend. "At least it's a foggy day and I'm not missing too much!"

Registration and measurement continues to go smoothly and rumor has it we may hit the 80 boat limit.
