Hi Everyone!

I decided to send this a bit earlier since we have something slightly different going on this week.  Julie and Andy Lenczycki are hosting the gathering at their house (instead of going to Jac’s).  Their address is 9833 Woodlawn Dr., Portage (down the street from the landing).  The event is planned to go on rain or shine, so come even if sailing is cancelled due to weather.  Pulled pork sandwiches, coleslaw, and baked beans will be provided.  We ask that you BYOB (alcohol or non).   A snack or dish to pass is always welcome, but not necessary.  

Next: on to sailing!  Dave Dunlap using Jeff Daanes’ pontoon is the Race Chair.  We are expecting temps to be hot again, near 90 degrees, with a 60% chance of storms, some of which may be severe.  Winds are forecasted to be WSW at 10-15 mph.  Watch your weather apps for the current radar, watches and warnings.  We will stay in touch via email and Facebook.  

Below is a link to our current Race Chair Sign up.  The last two weeks are open and as a reminder, if we don’t have a Race Chair with a boat to run races from, races will be cancelled.  Tuesday at Lenczycki’s is a great time to show up and discuss the possibilities of working out Race Chair sign-ups as well as pontoon boat availabilities.  We will have the “RC Tote Bag” (thanks, Julie!) that will have the race watches, tablet, and binder with all the information one would need to run Tuesday night races.  Any Race Chair sign-ups are encouraged to familiarize yourselves with these materials and ask questions.  Afterwards, they will be in the hands of each weeks’ Race Chair.  

Also, if you have raced and not joined, but plan to race again, you will need to join the fleet.  Membership forms will be available Tuesday.

The link to the sign-up page is here: 

Cheers and hope to see you Tuesday!

Greetings!

Well, you guessed it, tomorrow’s forecast is for extremely hot weather, with heat indices around 100 degrees F.  Winds are predicted to be 10-12 mph out of the SSW, with a slight chance of pop up thunderstorms.  Stay watch at your radar apps for these developing storms!  RC is Dave Dunlap on Jeff Daane’s pontoon with yours truly assisting.  Remember to hydrate and try to keep cool!  We go to Jac’s afterwards for results.  

Next week, we will be going to Andy and Julie Lenczycki’s for results.  Pulled pork sandwiches will be served, BYOB and a snack or dish to pass.

Also, here is the link for the race chair sign up, the last week of the Summer series is completely open.  There is at least one Race Chair signed up looking for a pontoon to use;  this can be discussed at the after sailing get together next week.
