I will be there along with Liz. Due to the long drive, and the fact that we can't leave until tomorrow morning, I don't think we will be much help with the set up.

Never raced or tried a slalom course, but I can't wait. I will be in a solo open boat and will be glad to jump in another boat if someone needs a tandem partner.

Hate that I missed it. Was all set to take the kids as spectators and had a last minute change of plans. Thanks for organizing it Jeremy. If you have the info on who to thank at Dierks I'dl ove to write them, and encourage every one else to as well. It would be nice to have the releases at Dierks planned. Post the info if you can.
