up dates:
Some or all of you may have already seen some of this
information. Unfortunately the Pegler family will be unable to
attend this year's rally because Kevin injured his back battling the
hurricane earlier this year. See his email below. We were all
looking forward to seeing them after a lengthy absence. Eric
Laux is unable to join Brian as he is starting a new job. Brian
is hoping to find some members to crew with him. Margie
Harkins says Bill's mother has been in and out of the hospital several
times recently. They could be affected by this. My
grandson Tristan Ketcham from Austin is unable make it due to school
conflicts but Cassie and Kyle Duff will still be sailing with me. I'm
hoping someone can lend me good PFD. Cassie (13) wears a woman's
size small. Kyle is average size for 11. New
additions David Coombs and Kate will be camping at site ET 2. Cruising
Safety: I'll
be mailing you separately the safety DECLARATION. I
will appreciate it very much if you return this document to me stating "I
so declare" along with the skippers name and sail number.
Praying
for better weather.............DICK

Original Message ----- From: Kevin.Pegler It’s
official, Shirl and I will not be attending the Rally. The doctor
has given me the “no go” order. I have ruptured a disk and I can tell
you it is not a pleasant experience. I hope to be able to get some
light day sailing in sometime in the future. It is a shame as I was
really looking forward to the trip. Have a great time! Cheers, Kev From:

Dear Rally Participants:
Attached is the latest participant list
for your reference. I'll keep you updated as changes take place.
You'll notice I'm expecting three of my grandkids to join Jane and me:
Tristan Ketcham (15), Cassie Duff (13) and Kyle Duff (11).
Tristan, who is coming from Austin, TX, attended the 2012 Rally;
while Cassie and Kyle are from from Ellicott City, MD. Kyle was
at last year's rally at Killbear Park. Cassie is a first-timer.
The three of them will be able to pal around with Quinn Ring.
When we get closer to the
rally dates we can begin laying down some specific activity plans.
For now please review the following safety requirements and let
me know if you have any questions. (BTW, I may be looking to find
out if anyone has extra PFD's I can borrow.)
Safety requirements: Remember,
it is the responsibility of the boat's skipper/owner to ensure the
safety of his vessel and its crew. If you are skippering someone
else's boat that responsibility transfers to you. As the event
organizer I'm responsible for providing guidance to new participants,
as well as general overall advice. As fellow Wayfarers with a
wealth of experience, I expect others to provide sage advice also.
The waters we'll be sailing can quickly become challenging, with
sizable waves and dangerous reefs. Skippers need to be experienced
dinghy sailors and should attempt to learn the limitations of their
crew.
I ask that everyone take the DECLARATION below seriously. Pleasant sailing......DICK DECLARATION
