It's time for Rocktober Racing!  Pete is ready to pull the trigger, which means three things:

1.    He has a plan to defeat George,

2.    He’s found a safety boat,

3.    It’s time to race already!

So here’s the drill:   Pete (as we all should) will keep an eye on the forecast for the next two coming weekends.  If/when conditions look auspicious, he shall Declare the Race Day and Location (most likely Nassau County north shore.)  Pete says:

“We will have a 7.5 Class, an Open Class, and a Novice Class  (must be able to water start and jibe…not necessary planning.)   The wind minimum will probably be 12-15.  If you want to race you should sign up by emailing me at rocktoberracing@gmail.com.”

Race location and time will be announced by Pete via email…it will also be posted in the Yahoo LI Windsurfing Group, on iWindsurf’s forums, and on The Peconic Puffin.

So be there, and bring your air guitar.

    Very good choice of music to accompany this announcement. Steppenwolf’s Magic Carpet Ride would also have worked well.
    Now, we just need some, dare I say it, wind!

    or even Born to be Wild (Steppenwolf again), “racin’ with the wind, and the feelin’ that I’m under”.
    Sorry, just my 3 cents.
