Re: [BONC] Fwd: Windsurfing , fast realy fast windsurfing its time tostep it up

Saul:
I put mine in an Aquapac w/ a neck loop, and tuck it inside my wetsuit against my chest. It seemed to work fine that way.

Bradford

Very cool. I intend to take my GPS out with me while windsurfing all the time, and
I'm going to sign up.

Anyone have any advice for where to keep it on me out on the water? I had it
in a fanny pack inside a ziplock bag, but if I fell in and the pack got filled with
water, the GPS unit would lose track of the satellites.

KA Sail presents the 2007 North American Amateur GPS Speed Challenge. The event will run all season and is open to all amateur sailors, anywhere in North America. The challenge will utilize the GPS-speedsurfing.com format. Prizes will be awarded for top average speeds for open and junior sailors, as well as an overall distance award.

• Have some Serious Fun!
• Encourage and teach the wonders of GPS download and analysis to more US sailors
• Create a contest for the everyday sailor, not the professional
• Encourage young speedsailors
• Discover the best speed spots in the US. Are there any hidden jewels out there?
• Introduce the category of distance sailed
• Take advantage of the anytime/anywhere nature of using a GPS to capture runs when nature cooperates

Who: Amateur sailors (non PWA) of any age

Where: Anywhere in North America

When: April 1 to Oct 31, with monthly updates / awards

Format: Format will be the same as that used at gps-speedsurfing.com

All runs need to be downloaded and sent to race officials in .gpx format to be checked and cleaned of spikes

All runs must be posted at gps-speedsurfing.com within 1 month of the actual session

Results will be ranked by: "Average Speed" - average of 5 best 10 second runs & "Distance" miles sailed in one day

Requirements: All participants must register and fill out liability release at www.kaspeedchallenge.com to be elegible for the contest and prizes.

For all wave and freestyle junkies we will have something like this for you as soon we can.

I propose that the first one to set foot/board in Lake Erie this spring be awarded the honorary title:
THE ICEMAN or ICEWOMAN (the choicce being up to the recipient)

lake not very frozen

I was flying (commercial) over the lake yesterday and noticed that it's not all that frozen, and it is march, so I what's the earliest for season starting. I have a drysuit question, but will post on the email too, since this blog is new

a long dry spell

Could there be a worse time of year? Cold rain- frozen lake- closed golf course. Now the final nail in the coffin; THE BREWKEEPER, will not reopen until late march. Its enough to drive a BONC to spend a whole day in the office.
