	Hi RC.... Plenty of "white" in May. Looks like a good opportunity to run some of the pending races already set up as listed in your spreadsheet. If the server can handle it, I would suggest running at least 2-3 of the shorter(3-5day)events. Perhaps Lindesfarne, NE Archipelago, Hebrides Slalom, etc. Would also suggest reopening the discussion of how long to keep races open if this is a limiting factor for running more races and cleaning up the list a bit. Should be a fun month!! SP

	Hi ShamPir - thanks for checking the calendar. As always I keep an eye on what is still pending... and trade off "busyness" with what else is running. The Lindisfarne will be run in June and I've just realised I haven't updated the thread running on that one. 76T has also suggested we look at the Shackleton Challenge for a gap-filler but I believe he is away at the moment. The NE Archipelago I thought you were keeping for rough weather... if not then it is definitely long overdue for running! The New Hebrides Slalom (not British Isles but Asia/Pacific) is another good one.. I had been waiting for SWR to get past Cape Horn so that we were out of the area. Thank you!

	Great ideas! I will renew my focus to watch the NE US coast for a good spring-time low to blow through and let you know. The others all sound fun as well. Always good to have some 75-200nm sprints waiting in the can to fill the gaps. Thanks and great job as always RC!! SP
