Roger!!!

I hope this note finds you well. I thought it was about damn time I drop a note and thank you for such a great time during the Melonseed Regatta '98. Both Nancy and I agree that the weekend couldn't have gone better.We definitely agree we couldn't have gotten to sail our Melonseed through such a variety of conditions in three short days if we tried. From the light to moderate winds and sunny skies on Friday, to the wild ride we got during the little "weather bonanza" we experienced on Saturday. (Sailing in 30 knot winds in a Melonseed.... Are you kiddin; me?? What a blast!!!) To be honest, I figured that once we'd made it back to the ramp that day, Nance would put her vote that we pack up and make a hasty retreat to the car. Instead, she opted to jump into some foul weather gear and head back out for more! By the way, while we were bombing along out there in Plymouth, I happened to notice that there really weren't any other sailors out there besides us Melonheads. HMMMMMMM, I thought, statistically speaking, we can't ALL be crazy.... So it must be that we're sailing one honey of a boat!!!! By the way, Mrs Powell, our host at the B&B in with we were staying informed us she was on the committee boat for races that day at (I think) the Duxbury Yacht Club. According to her, hardly anyone was able to keep their boat upright. The races were canceled and several boats needed a tow back.

The evening get-togethers were great. We met a truly enjoyable bunch of people and has a nice, relaxing couple of evenings with good company. I hope that you enjoyed yourself as much as Nance and I did that weekend. It must be such a kick to see so many of your creations tacking about all at one time.

Thanks again for everything,

 Dave and Nancy Mullany
