Entries Gaining Steam
Ready to GoWe had 13 at the end of the boat show. Over the last few days, the entry parade has started up again. While our friends on the Trans-Pac are frantically preparing for their departures, we Pac Cuppers are sipping our cappuchino and planning on our splendid passage a bit over a year from now.
With the Entries at the Boat Show we are at 13 going into the weekend
We've been having a great time at the boat show. Our booth is off to one side, behind the First and Last Chance Saloon (strangely convenient for some). It's been great times connecting with old and new friends.
Five Boats Sign Up in First Five Hours (update: Nozomi makes 6, now 8)
Just moments after we opened pre-entries, our first entry buffaloed its way in. Soon it would be singed by a second coming over the horizon. Who are these recidivists? What val is they coming from?
A list shall be posted shortly. Visit the pre-entry page and join the fun. http://pacificcup.org/pre-enter
