A place to have a cold beer, a few shots, and a small frozen pizza. Just throw the peanuts shells on the floor; the beer wench will clean them up later.
Remember that “Anything worth doing, is worth doing in excess. Moderation is for monks!” (or Janis).
Next monthly get together is at Casa Cheryl’s on Thursday, July 27th at 5:15 PM! We are ordering pizza because grilling will cut into our drinking time. So far, it is a ladies-only event but if any of you guys want to borrow my new shower curtain pant suit and do your best Caitlyn Jenner impersonation, you are more than welcome! Address to follow…
Latest Update
was the hardest most grueling race I’ve ever been on. I was sick and couldn’t stand my watch for 8 hours. That’s never happened. Almost 100 boats did not complete the race.
The #3 (ed note: the smallest front sail on the boat) from Turning Point blew out after a couple hours but I had anticipated this and brought the #3 from Corsair (which was a new Dacron sale about 20% smaller than the Benateau’s) and we finished the 125 mile upwind part with no problem from the sail.
Everyone was sick to some degree. One guy smacked his head and another may have a small fracture in his ulnar. The upwind leg became survival.
Still recovering (wine in hand). Bill
Turning Point made an amazing comeback finishing only 45 minutes behind first place to finish 45 minutes befor 3rd place.. Two days ago, they were 4 hours behind…
10:30 PM – July 16, Bill is in 4th place in his division.. 57th in the overall race.. 100th boat to the finish line.. 98.9 miles to finish.. his coordinates are 44 48.84N 086 16.97 W.. heading NE which is parallel with the lay line.. speed is 6.1 in @ 54 degrees..
The book makers predict a 3rd place (show)finish. As of July 17, the odds are now for 2nd (place)
Veterans Vintage aka Chris and Becky Lyons will be participating in the Studio 8 Vintage Market this Sunday. 1128 Garfield in Oak Park. 10 a.m. til 5 p.m. See you there.

Taste of Cuba was a hit! Loved the food and company…the owner was a Lakeview grad (several years younger) who lived around Belmont and Sheridan, back in the day. We discussed the old neighborhood and going to the Fullerton rocks. Susie, Betsey Callahan from Schurz, sister Kathy, Cousin 2 of 79, Cheryl and Chris were in attendance.
Next time we visit, the owner is going to sit and drink with us. Party continued at Bar Louie where we just made it for “Happy Hour” with beers, G & T’s and Cheryl and Cousin Sue splitting a bottle of wine! Next gathering is on July 27th (almost Susie and my birthday) at Cheryl’s house…come one come all!
