VANCOUVER CREW ---

Just some quick updates/reminders:

CELL PHONES - Please make sure to check with your cell phone providers to make sure you're able to use your phones in Canada. You may need to upgrade your coverage for the days you are out of the country!

IMPORTANT PLACE FOR VANCOUVER AERODRAGONS - a satellite map of important places for us to to help familiarize ourselves with the Vancouver area - (you don't have to install the 3D map application if it asks you to, to see the map) . . . http://local.live.com/?v=2&cid=65D1F224E826EE37!101&encType=1

PADDLES & VESTS - Be prepared to carry your own paddle and/or vest with you to Vancouver. We will not be packing the paddles and vests in one bag. If you prefer, the race organizers will have paddles and life vests available for you to use there . . .

BUTT PADS - remember that butt pads that are more than 1/2" in thickness will NOT be allowed on the boats.

GENDER RACES - So far, we don't have many men interested in racing. Will see if we have enough ladies to team with another Canadian team for the women's races.

PASSPORTS (need I say more?)

FRIDAY PRACTICE - I'm trying to arrange a 3PM practice for 1 hour at False Creek. I think I counted 10 of you that will be available - can you please let me know if you can make a 3PM practice on Friday.

RACING JERSEYS - for those of you who need racing jerseys, I'm trying to get an order filled before we leave. We will definitely have t-shirts available. Those of you who do not have any AeroDragon-wear, I'm OK with you buying something maroon/dark red that will blend in with the boat if you're not comfortable racing in a t-shirt. You may want to bring extra t-shirts if you want to trade with the other teams . . .

WEATHER - the latest Accuweather extended forecast predicts SHOWERS and 18C/65F for SAT and CLOUDY and 20C/68F for SUN. Bring rain gear if you have it!

That's it for now - keep up with your land training - should have a trip doc by next weekend for you!
