Special thanks:
First and foremost, thank you Dee Snow! You are truly a special person, and I’m so lucky to have you in my office to take care of everything while I’m away. To Cree, Karl, and crew at Berkeley Marine Center. It has been so much fun working on my boat at the boatyard; the depth of resources you have available is incredible. George Biery, thank you for your friendship and support, and especially for building me the hard dodger and emergency rudder – you’ve got skills. Michael Whitfield, thank you for stepping up early in my campaign to supply me with miscellaneous sheets, blocks, etc. Larry Gibbs, thank you for the life raft, and for your encouragement – I hope to be able to communicate with you while you’re out there sailing in the Pacific Cup. Tim and Laurie Merrill, thank you for letting me race with you the last couple years, and for the EPIRB and watermaker. Bob Harford, thank you for exposing me to sailboat racing in the first place…all of this is your fault! Chris Humann, thank you for dropping by the boatyard to check up on me - your support means a lot. And to Synthia Petroka, thank you for the encouraging email correspondence, and for helping to keep all of us on track
