Jim & Theresa Hedleston write (March 1), "As many of you may know, club member Lacey Gallagher had been battling cancer for the past 3 year.  Unfortunately for all of us, she passed away last week here in the city.

For those of you that have known her over the years from the club or from any of the Caribbean Regatta's she attended she was a fun loving soul and a real fighter.  She was always there with that big bright smile and that laugh.  We will all miss her terribly.

If you have seen her over the past several year, she was probably in the company of her boyfriend Mark.  They were actually married this past Valentines Day before she became more affected by her disease.

Her service was this past Sunday in Manhattan. The family has requested donations to the Ovarian Cancer Research Fund if you are interested:

Nancy Parmalee writes, "I am looking to do a transatlantic crossing (or similarly long voyage) sometime in the next year. This would be my first time. I want a new challenge and this seems like a good one. Mostly I want to get offshore and sail really far for a long time :)  I'm competent on a boat and easy to get along with, learn quickly,don't mind rough conditions, and I'm honing my navigation skills. I've done plenty of shorter (overnight) deliveries, offshore races, good experience on 40-60 foot boats (and smaller). I'm a night owl and generally happy to take night watches and tolerate general sleep deprivation well.  If anyone knows of a good boat and crew, safety minded and smart (and preferably fun!)...please let me know. I can be reached at nlp2104@columbia.edu."  July 2007

David Bacon writes, “I'm looking for opportunities to crew on coastal and offshore deliveries this summer and fall, including a caribbean run in late  November/early December.  I've done one delivery from Anapolis to  Saint Martin and  a number of coastal deliveries and races up and  down the east coast.  Please contact me at dfb@watson.ibm.com July 2007
