Festivities crank up at 6:30 with hometown favorites BUST  rockin’ on the front lawn. Enjoy the view from the longest deck on Mobile Bay while you sip on your favorite beverages and swap tall tales of last year’s race with all of your friendly competitors. Hungry for some supper? Head downstairs for a big juicy southwestern style beef brisket sandwich, chips and cookies. Be sure to pick up your race packets and be right and ready for a Skipper’s Meeting with PRO Donnie Brennan around 8:00.

The famous Buccaneer Bar will be open upstairs; Sammy’s Tiki Bar open downstairs – with bushwhackers available in both locations. Pick up your DIR dollars for drink purchases at the Cashiers tables, along with tickets for T-shirts, the Skipper’s Party Dinner and Saturday’s Island Dinners. The Lighthouse Bakery and The Common Loon have joined forces this year to serve up fried grouper or chicken, lots of tasty sides and hot garlic bread and plan to serve at the trophy site this year.
Live music on Saturday at the island from NIGHT WORK starts late afternoon and rocks into the evening trophy presentation.  Get your registrations in pronto:  early registration ends at noon on Wednesday. Final registrations by 5pm Thursday.

Special thanks to EXXON/MOBIL for sponsoring this year’s race, along with support from SERIMAX INTL and the Press Register/Bay Weekend.

See y’all on Friday at the Buc to kick off a great Dauphin Island Race 2010 Weekend!!

Sailing directions to Dog River will be available upon request.

We’ll depart after lunch on Saturday (so you can sleep in and pack light) and sail up Dog River (north, away from the hustle & bustle of marina life) until we run out of water or otherwise locate a suitable spot for the fleet, then drop hook for cocktails and hors d’oeuvres.  The adventurous will prepare dinner and spend the night, sailing for home on Sunday.  Those who can’t handle two back-to-back days of bliss are free to depart at will but will be required to take malcontents with them.

Being the equal opportunity boating Club that we are, members who own motor yachts are welcome to join us.  If you fall into this category, kindly juice up your generator and bring your blender.

If the weather permits Fleet Captain Jim Green might alter the sail plan to include an afternoon cruise on Mobile Bay and/or an anchorage off delightful Gaillard Island.

To join the cruise, just show up.  Updates and additional information will be posted at MYC. For questions or comment contact Tom Batty at 251-421-5829 or Jim Green at 251-533-7755.

Due to the low-pressure format of this cruise, day-of decisions regarding sail plan and anchorage location will be communicated via VHF channel 68, smoke signals or signal flags, at the sole discretion of Fleet Captain Jim Green.
