        So that brings up some thoughts - most of us don't know our crew

To All - Here are the Sunday racing results to date. Sorry we haven't stayed on top of issuing them. Sunday racing is very special - usually only a few boats come out and there is more than one race. That means you can have a second chance to correct your mistakes, or the winner of the first race has a chance to make more mistakes. Sunday racing is a great time to practice starting techniques, train new crew, get to know your neighbors better, or spend quality time with your children. So far all of the Sunday racing boats have sailed non-spinnaker, but I'm hoping some of you will start practicing spinnaker techniques, too. On another subject, Richard Gressle let us know that last night one Of Dave Otterbein's crew on Breakaway had a serious medical problem that required immediate attention in Haverstraw. Of note was that no one on Breakaway knew the medical history of the person taken sick, or could answer very important questions asked by the EMTs. So that brings up some thoughts - most of us don't know our crew well enough to ask intimate medical questions, nor do we really want to. Morris thought perhaps we could ask our crew to fill out a simple index card with emergency contact information, and perhaps some critical medical information if applicable. Deb Hertzog is checking into cell phone apps that can record important medical history, available instantly if required. This is one time when it might pay off to be proactive in advance. All of these are good ideas, and we're looking for more. Lee Luce Cruising Fleet Secretary
