For those of you who were unable to make it to the Regatta and Party, you missed a good time.  Jimmy Jack's Rib Shack catered the food and several members brought more delicious food and desserts.  Approximately 31 attended.

JULY 19th BASTILLE DAY CIRCUMNAVIGATION

Around 11am we will launch the fleet and sail over to the north arm as a group.

It turned out to be a bust.  The wind was very minimal.  We did grill, but it was at the boathouse.  Warren and Dave got the Buccaneer masted, rigged and in the water.  It needs a clear coat on a small section of the hull.  Thanks to Barbara for the chocolate chip cookies!  Thanks to Tom for getting the food and supplies!

T-SHIRTS FOR SALE

We have 3 styles for $5 each!

June 16, 17 and possibly 18th - No water usage at boathouse

Rec Services will be chlorinating the water system at the boathouse for at least 48 hours, possibly more.  During this time, no one is to use the water spigot in the boatyard, the sink or toilet in the Social Center.  Port-a-Pottys are located across the road in the parking lot by the shelter.
