Tonight is our first night of scheduled racing – first race start sequence is 6:30 pm.  Rain is supposed to stop, and we’re looking at cloudy skies with temps in the low 50’s with ENE winds of 5-10 mph.  Windchills will be possibly in the 40s and our latest water reading was 57 degrees at a dock. 

Soooooo…..stay tuned to see if these forecasts are correct and a decision will be made after 5 pm as to whether we race or not.  Sunshine might help – just sayin’.  Remember to plan to wear your cold water gear – wetsuits and booties.  Stay tuned to the ALCA Fleet 519 Facebook site or your e-mail Inbox for any news of cancellations.  

Committee boat is the Dunlap/Rubino pontoon with Dave Dunlap race chair for the night, and myself as assistant, along with Keith and possibly Dixie.  Our Principal Race Officer, Julie Lenczycki, will be watching the conditions carefully, and any questions should be directed to her as PRO.  We meet at Brewster’s regardless if we race or not, and it’ll be a great opportunity to come out and join (if you haven’t already).  Julie has race stickers for current fleet members if anyone needs one.  
Additionally, as the weeks go on, I will be trimming the e-mail recipient list to current and 2018 members only; unless I hear from you that you would like to remain on our list, your name will be removed.
