<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> I didn't see an Alberg 30 in the
parade. What Happened? I was up on Ego
Alley brhind Fawcett's. It was my first time seeing the parade and it was very
nice. Our viewing location was good since we were right up front (I was leaning
on a piling most of the parade), and out of the strongest winds. Nice parade
Annapolitans.</FONT></DIV>

<BLOCKQUOTE TYPE="CITE">Dear List,
<P>Can anybody tell me how many people are allowed on an Alberg 30 per USCG
regulations? I assume there is a limit, but I don't have a placard on my
boat.
<P>I will be participating in the EYC light parade tomorrow evening, and I
need to make sure that I am not overloaded. Can anybody give me a guideline
on this?
<P>Also, I found out this past week that there is a very real possibility my
company will be sending me to work in Hawaii for 2 years. I would like to
take <I>Calliope</I> with me, and the only way I can see to do this is to
have her shipped from Annapolis to LA and sail from there. I can't devote
the time to sailing the whole way, and maintain aforementioned job at the
same time. Has anybody done the Pacific cup or Transpac race on an Alberg 30
recently? I would very much like to meet with anybody in the annapolis area
who has bluewater cruising experience on an A30 and is interested in sharing
ideas and suggestions with me. I would also be interested in knowing if any
of you folks who have got trailers would be willing to consider chartering
to me for trucking across country. Further, anybody who is near Annapolis
and would be willing to come out to the boat with me and help me make a
prioritized list of what I would need to accomplish before I could safely
compete in the Pacific Cup, I would really really REALLY appreciate that.
This will be a big undertaking for me, and I could use some help in the
planning phase to make sure that I do an effective job of preparing and
determining whether it's even realistic.
<P>In order to keep list traffic down, if you have comments or responses
which will be directed to me only, please use my individual e-mail address:
