[C320-list] C320IA Regatta 2008: Update Info

[David Nolte]

Warren, Irv, Allan, Karl, Bruce, et al,

We have made our slip reservations as well, looking forward to  
meeting/seeing everyone.

We will be honored to likely have the oldest boat at the the party.  
Now I have a great incentive to try to refinish the cabin sole.
