Subject: Who plans to Camp at the Dillard-Gilbert Regatta? Sent: 05/27/2026 02:28 am GMT Hello all, Aaron here. I'm writing to see who might be camping at this year's Dillard-Gilbert Regatta (skippers –- ask your crews!). I'm planning on bringing my boat down Friday and then camping both Friday and Saturday nights. One of my crew will be camping Saturday night. Let me know if you are planning on camping (apb99@mac.com or text 202.302.7013) so we can coordinate! Looking forward to seeing everybody this weekend! Cheers, Aaron |
