As I was saying...

Pacific NW Offshore Racers,

 I know I promised way back on November 7 that the new website and the Offshore registration would be imminent, and I know that we are now 20 days later, but...here's the good news – the new CYC website is officially live! Go see: www.cycportland.org right now! Really, click on the link and you'll get another surprise – 

 Ta Da! Drum roll please. The Corinthian Yacht Club of Portland, along with our title sponsor Schooner Creek Boat Works, and our new hosts, the Port of Ilwaco and the Long Beach Peninsula Visitors Bureau, are totally stoked to announce that registration for the Pacific NW Offshore International Yacht Race is OPEN!

 Here's the link on the new CYC website to the race home page: www.pacificnwoffshore.org where you'll find all things Offshore related such as the NOR, SER, Crew List form, as well as mooring information in Ilwaco and Victoria. Or, you can cut to the chase and get registered directly at Regatta Network without going through all the intermediary links at: Regatta Network PNW Offshore Registration.

 We already have two registrations, Souffle and Free Bowl of Soup, with more to follow. I know of at least one Vic-Maui racer who's itching to sign up and a Pacific Cup entry who, on inside information, is ready to hit send. So, don't delay. Get with the program, be thankful on Thanksgiving that you're already signed up, and make your crew's Christmas wishes come true. Register with a simple click on one of the links above.

 See you in Ilwaco.
