Austin Lake Regatta Update

Just a few reminders about the regatta next weekend:  If you are not sailing but still want to attend the dinner, it’s $10 per person, and includes barbeque from Barrett’s Smokehouse, potato salad and coleslaw from Daanes, baked beans, and Latitude 42 beer!  Sounds wonderful!  Also we are asking fleet members to provide a dessert to pass, and lawn chairs if you have them.  If you haven’t already registered for the regatta, and know you will not be sailing, please let us know if you intend on coming to dinner, we need a headcount at the beginning of this week.  Dinner is at Win and Margaret Larsens’.
Also, it’s not too late to sign up to sail!  We have about 26 boats right now, which is awesome!  Thank you to all of you who are being a host house for boats – this is what’s making this regatta happen.  If you haven’t volunteered as a host house but would like to, please let Dave or Cesar know, as additional sites would be helpful for last minute sign-ups.  Dave’s e-mail is; dadworksmi@gmail.com and Cesar’s, csantana823@gmail.com.

Week 3 Spring Series Races Cancelled

Races for Tuesday, May 19, 2015 have been cancelled due to cold temperature and moderately high wind conditions.  Sailors will still be meeting at Burger Town Grille at 7 PM.  Still to be resolved… a committee boat to use for weekly races.

Week 3 Spring Series (5/19/15)

Tuesday is here, and unfortunately, so is the cold front. At 6pm, the weather forecast is for 53 degrees and NW winds 10-20 mph with higher gusts. OK. As usual for this month, we are gathering at Burger Towne after sailing and earlier, around 7 if we don’t race.

Austin Lake Regatta Welcome Dinner

Just a reminder to everyone: we could not put together a welcome dinner at Latitude 42 for Friday evening (5/29/15). Instead, we are gathering at the Larsens’ place. It’s BYOB at this time, and we will distribute a list of restaurants that will deliver pizza and other casual types of food. Come on over and meet your fellow sailors!

Committee Boat Required

Many of you were included on the new Sign-up Genius page I put together.   Note: this is for the physical boat used for the committee boat and not for staffing.  So far we have boats up to Spring Series Week 6 (June 9th) – if we don’t have a boat to use for a given Tuesday night, we won’t be sailing.   Each slot is for two weeks, with the first date listed – wouldn’t let me have two dates in the column for as far as I know at this time.  Even if you don’t have a boat, take a look at the page, it’s a neat system that could be used for whatever planning that needs to be done.
