Wow, Week 6 is happening! – can’t believe the summer is just zipping along!  Andy Lenczycki is our RC for a night of partly cloudy skies, 78 degrees and NNW winds of around 9 mph. 

This week, we are starting an informal education series, in which there will be an attachment included with each weekly e-mail, followed up by discussion after sailing at Brewster’s.  This will take place even if we’re cancelled, so all you new sailors, take note, read the material, and hopefully you’ll be able to participate on Tuesdays.  It’s also a great review for all of us seasoned folks as we head to the Hobie World’s in Captiva this November.  This week’s topic is “Signals and Marks” and “Definitions & Right of Way Rules“.  This is a progressive series – so this first topic is important to know in order to fully understand the next two topics.  Thanks to Jerry Mohney for starting this up and to Julie for providing the material.  

Also, a reminder that the next one day regatta for Hobie Fleet 126 is coming up this next Saturday, August 17th at Washington Beach in Michigan City, IN.  Weather looks pleasant, so there’s fun just waiting to be had!  Hope to see you there!

Another save the date – for all of us Hobie World Competitors (gotta love the sound of that!):  Tuesday September 17th – the first Tuesday we don’t sail- Lori Mohney is gathering us together at their place for a discussion of important things we’ll need to know to compete in the event.  Please create room in your schedules to attend!
