I realize that you are just trying to drum up interest in the upcoming regatta, and yes we should all be trying our best to get things back to normal as quickly as possible. But please also realize that there are people out there who have a lot on their plate at the moment.

Fortunately, my "stuff" was spared the wrath of Kat-Rita and I can’t tell you how much I'd like to be out there Sunday. But friends and family who were less fortunate come first. I’ll be on the water soon, but not this weekend.
