"Circuit Rider / Rigger"
If it would be advantageous for other Portland area (or close by) sailors to join in on this "share the travel cost" idea for Brion, perhaps one of you in the core group should post an announcement on the NW Sailing list at
http://sailcascadia.org/
and subscribing info is here

:nerd:
It's a mostly sailing and NW cruising group with quite a few Columbia River sailors in it.
Sometimes the list is quiet for a few days and then hits ten messages a day.
The cruising information (i.e. local knowledge) shared is invaluable, imho.
An opportunity to share costs of a visiting rigger of the caliber of Brion Toss would be nice. Portland lost a valuable resource when Butch Bogan closed up ("B&B Rigging") and headed for the South Pacific.
If you all like the idea, and it looks like Brion would have the time, perhaps I could also post a notice to the group email list for our yacht club, too.
