Greetings ALCA Sailors! WOW…20 boats last week!!  We are at the half way point and you better get your heavy weight crews for Tuesday night because the forecast looks….WINDY!!

Our across the street neighbor and neighborhood Little Free Library Tramontane now has a weather station and you can see it on sailflow –  https://www.sailflow.com/spot/518196

While Michigan’s numbers are realatively low, we remind all racers to follow the social distancing and safe sailing guidelines, and remind everyone to sail safe.

The Officers met late last week to develop some Race Chair Guidelines for duties while on the Committee Boat, please review the two emailed documents and provide any feedback. 

We are set for the next two weeks with the Lenczycki pontoon as Committee Boat, but will need boats/race chairs for our last four weeks.  If you can supply your pontoon and serve as race chair for a two week commitment, please let me know by next Sunday, August 9.

We are looking to see if there is an interest in doing a Zoom meeting the night of sailing to hear results and see everyone’s smiling faces or talk about the races that night.   It would most likely start at 9:15 pm and run for an hour or less.  Let me know if there is an interest and I will set it up for next week.
I think that wraps up the messages for this week.  Be sure to dress warm and wear your life jackets! Enjoy the wind!!

And don’t forget your DRAIN PLUGS!
