NOTES

15 May - Bob Adams, past skipper in 1989 and 1991 on his J35 Julie, died this week in Rhode Island after fighting cancer for one year.  Bob was 70 years old.  He is survived by his Wife Julie, son Charlie and brother Gerard.  Bob was a dreamer and his Open 40 was his last dream.  He still wanted to see his boat race.  Bob built two boats in Russia with Yazkov to do the Around the world single handed race.  Bob's funding ran out and sailed his boat back to the US with only one dagger board however Yazkov found funding and did the 2000-2001 Vendee Globe Solo Around the World Race in Wind of Change, the sister ship to Bob's.  Bob's boat is currently in Wickford, RI.

27 Mar - Thanks to Betsy McClintock we have a slick brochure for the Bermuda One-Two as well as the other two races the Offshore 160 and the New England Solo/Twin.  I have them in glossy slick tri-fold if anyone is interested in posting them or mailing them (they are mail able with a blank spot for an address and a return address already printed).  Just let me know if you would like some and I'll ship them out to you.  Doesn't hurt to advertise our races.

20 Mar - We had the Spring Skippers' Forum today at the Newport Yacht Club.  22 people attended on a gorgeous spring weather day (didn't last long though).  Dave Sherman kicked off the meeting with the usual introductions. 
Dave introduced John Alibrandi from First Responder who talked about a couple of medical kits as well as training.  We will be looking into the possibility of some kind of medical training.  Joe Cooper tried to generate a medical seminar in early 2009 but couldn't get the attendance.  We'll see.
Dave then introduced John K. Fulweiler, Esq. a maritime attorney who spoke about marine towing and salvage and what to possibly expect if one unfortunately runs into that situation.  I asked John if he could come back next year in the spring where we should have more skippers due to the proximity to the race in 2011.  For those not present or for those who want to learn more about the general maritime law, he has two blogs which he invites you to folow:  (1.) The Salty Barrister (http://www.safesea.com/BlogRetrieve.aspx?BlogID=2938); and (2.) Legal Talk on the WorkBoat Magazine website (http://www.workboat.com/blogpost.aspx?id=4294989782). His full details and background are also available on LinkedIn (http://www.linkedin.com/in/johnkfulweiler).
Dave Sherman has arranged to have Frank Bohlen do the Gulf Stream briefing again for us starting with his first briefing at the March 2011 Skippers' Forum.  Frank did a wonderful job for the 2009 race.
Several people mentioned that they plan on doing the 2011 Bermuda One-Two© Race: Peter McCrea, Dan Stadtlander, Peter Bourke, Fred Cosandey, Rick McCally, Joe Cooper, Bob Kemp, Dave McLoughlin and Hugh Piggin.
