OSTAR Update


Evening All!

Our own Phil Rubright is now somewhere between Charleston, SC and Horta, Azores, along with George Bergh and Lynn Hulber. As you know, Phil is competing in the OSTAR Singlehanded next month, and he is in the shakedown phase at present.

I received an email this morning from Phil’s wife, Glenn Ellan. The contents are cut and pasted below:

< Phil is on his way to England. He left on Monday with a crew of two. The seas and winds have been very kind and they are having an excellent crossing, so far. The family always puts together a "letters and greetings from home" package for Phil to enjoy on his race home. I was wondering if you could get the message out to the GLSS members. If anyone would like to send Phil a greeting I need it before the 22nd of May. Our daughter Diane and I are going to Plymouth to see him off and will take the letters with us. Our address is 1740 Edgewood, Berkley, Michigan 48072.
Thanks for your help. Glenn Ellan Rubright>>

I can’t think of a better way to show support for Phil, and to give him something to do when he’s bored silly, becalmed during the race. Please take some time to compose one of those “letters or greetings” in the next week or so - just get it to Glenn Ellan before May 22nd.

Happy writing!

Cheers…………..Tony
