We're Growing!
The Yacht Club has agreed to rent the remainder of our building from our kind friends, fellow members, and landlords, Pat & Sherry Nied and family. It will increase our space by almost 70%, which will give us some badly needed room for those great potlucks and maybe even a few new members. There is some construction work to be done to finsh the new space, so anyone that knows how to use a hammer should keep an eye out for a call to arms.
And please excuse any construction related disruptions!
We also have a committee working on longer term plans for even more improvements to our Club.
July 4/5
Anniversary Weekend
The Club celebrates it's eighth anniversary coincident with our national holiday. We're having a Barbeque Bash & Potluck July 5th at 4pm. Check you email for potluck suggestions.
The three racing fleets will have the traditional one-day regattas, with the races not counting towards the season standings, instead awarding individual trophies just for the one day's efforts. There will be modest entry fees to defer trophy costs, but this a a great opportunity to get out there and race if you've managed to miss the racing so far.
R/C Race - Saturday 9am Skippers Meeting, 10am start
Ocean Race - 11am Skippers Meeting - maybe a House Rock run???
Fireworks - This is highly weather dependent, but some boats hope to raft up off the beach to have the fireworks directly overhead. If you're considering taking your boat, please make sure you meet all the USCG lighting requirements!
River Race - Skippers Meeting Sunday 10am, Start at 12Noon.
Barbeque Bash - Sunday 4pm
June 20/21
Race Weekend Recap
We got another dose of nasty North wind, cancelling both the Ocean and River races. The same strong winds played havoc with the R/C racers as well, leading to lots of excitement and at least a little boat damage.
The Potluck saw a pretty small crowd, but plenty to stage a surprise birthday party for Jim Relaford, including a 200 proof rum cake. The evening continued with a little strumming and singing as well.
