NAC 2012 Preview


So the NAC is about 6 weeks away but the early registration discount ends next week, May 20. Looks like we may have a fairly good sized group from Florida but so far only 3 are signed up. Back in the day the discount would have been good for a tank of gas but nowadays... well, never-mind. It'll get ya some beer though!!


The organizers have put together a very nice event website with all kinds of detailed info. We will be staying at the State Park Campground which is also where the sailing facility is located.

For the first time, we will be traveling by RV this year and are looking forward to hanging out with the Lintons and John & John who will also be RV'ing it. We all have spots reserved at the the campgrounds southern end which is close to the sailing center.

Here we have the RV trio, as seen at the Rudder Club in Jacksonville




Our dogs will be attending again this year so that is a highlight, for sure. Missy (the oldest) has been to 2 NAC's already so she is a veteran.

On the way to Ephraim WI for the 2009 NAC we stopped at Flying Scot Inc. for the Sandy Douglass  where Missy got to meet Buffet (like Jimmy), the Carpenter's golden retriever




Missy and Lexi both went to the 2010 NAC at Bay Waveland but like us they may have successfully blocked that one from the memory banks.

Missy and Lexi crashed out in the van on the way home from Bay Waveland,  watching the weather channel all week wiped them out




We think scheduling the regatta in June was a good plan. With some luck it will be before the big heat of summer and after the spring storms die down. Fingers are crossed!

Get your entry in and we will see you there!

In case you won't make it,

we will do updates, maybe even with a new Ipad.
