Summer series Week #10 – September 7, 2021

Hello all,
This sadly is the last week of sailing. Mid 70s somewhat high chance of rain… We’ll see… Wind is currently forecasted to be 9-18 mph gusting 27-37 mph. So idk if it’s looking that good… 

But we are still planning to gather at Peggy & Patrick’s. Their address is in the email sent to all members. RSVP to Peggy at her email address. A $5 per person (minimum) contribution will be asked for from everyone for the pizza and payments can be made to Peggy via PayPal (her email) or Venmo (@Peggy-Wray) or pay Tuesday night. Rain or shine. Thanks!
