I heard the Fishing trip is on !!! - that means several of us who want to body surf and fish may need to leave the Saturday morning body surfing event a little early to start throwing Killies overboard around the Great South Bay starting at 9 am on Saturday.

Again, don't despair - the Saturday am body surfing competition is still on, just going to move up the start time to 730 am. That we can do some sunrise yoga on the beach - Isis Isis ra ra ra ra!. ( Mark H is leading the yoga and Mike J is leading the chants - should be good).

If that's way too much to contemplate for a Saturday morning, there will be other "no host" body surfing events: 2:30 pm on Saturday and then again at 8:30 am on Sunday for the true dilettantes among us. All of these beach events will probably be held at Field 5. (Part of a "no host" event is dealing with ambiguity and the fact that the "host" might not even show up, may leave early, and still doesn't have a clue if the beach and showers will even be open, or which Field is best). If there is a better Field for this, just let me know. I seem to recall differences in opinion ...

Also, the true beauty of this competition is that you may arrive late and self report your excellence; or you don't even have to show up at all if you really really don't want to. You can just lie, puff, make stuff up, or just totally blovate at the Sunday brunch about that perfect wave you rode in 1978 and still win this very casual event. Of course submitting cropped photos of yourself on the body of a 18 year old body surfer with an actual six pack will only help your cause. Or you could just bring a frisbee ...?

Potential grand prizes for best body surfer include: a package of Wisconsin Cheese Curds, a left over Charleston chew from 1977 Babylon Baseball team bus, a crown or tiara; and/or the speedo of shame. Danny Lynch told me he was shooting for the extra sleek black speedo but really what do expect from a Navy pilot. Your choice. Good luck!

Signed up for the reunion!! Looking forward to seeing all of you. Coming in from Michigan and I'll be coming to the beach, the reunion, and the brunch. I won't be coming to the fishing trip because I'll be spending time with my father, who I don't get to see that often.

See you all soon!!
