The summer series (and 2015 racing) is winding down, with tomorrow being Week 8 of 10. We’re looking at cool temps, with highs around 66 degrees F, cloudy skies and WNW winds at 10-15 mph. At Brewster’s following sailing, we meet in the dining room, as there is expected to be others in the room off to the side. Remember to save the date of our year end party – Saturday October 3rd – we are in the process of narrowing down a few choices for our end of year dinner celebration and will get that info out to all of you as soon as we know more.
Results of the protest that was heard last week will also be discussed at Brewster’s, so plan on attending.
Tomorrows’ forecast is for 5 to 10 mph winds out of the SSW and a 50% – 80% chance of storms. We have the room reserved at Brewster’s, so if we are cancelled, we can go there early. For many who have had numerous rules/right of way questions, this would be the perfect time to ask them, so plan to come out regardless of the weather situation. Who knows, it may just clear up!
Three major items on the agenda for this week’s e-mail:
You all should have received another invite for the committee boat sign-up page. We have been fortunate to have Dave D, Steve C. and Jeff D. provide a pontoon boat for the Spring Series, thanks guys! However, we only have a single 2 week slot signed up for summer, and that’s by Dave S. in August (thanks Dave!). WE NEED BOATS FOR JULY, or we will not be able to start the summer series! You can forward your invite to anyone else you may think is interested – including non-fleet members who live on the lake.
After sailing results this week is at the Taproom at the Airway Fun Center at 5626 Portage Rd. Portage, MI (see map below for trailer parking areas). Next week and July 7th we go back to Brewster’s. I think everyone enjoyed Brewster’s last week – I really appreciated their huge menu selection! We will try to secure more Tuesday’s at Brewster’s if everyone likes it, but there is another group who has the room on alternate weeks, and we may need an alternate site. The parking situation at Latitude 42 remains an issue, since even at 8 :45 pm on a Tuesday night, the parking lot is packed!
2015 ALCA Pontoon Boat Party: We have a volunteer host location for the post float dinner, for July 18th or July 19th. (Thanks Jim and Kathy Kuk!). During announcements this Tuesday, we will vote on these dates. If anyone cannot attend either the July 18th or 19th (but would if it were on a different date) please let us know!
