Looks like we will have wind Tuesday, with sunny skies and temps in the 70s. So it’ll be a great day to get out and sail with winds WSW at 10-15 – ish. Win Larsen has graciously offered his pontoon as our committee boat and volunteered to be Race Chair, with John Koryto helping and learning from Win and the rest of the experienced crew of Keith Mortlock and Dixie Stiemsma. We have a boat signed up for the first two Tuesdays in the Summer Series, July 9th and July 16th, but after that, nada. So please consider signing up – racing will be cancelled any weeks we don’t have a boat and Race Chair.

spring series Week #7 – June 18, 2019
Someone must have really ticked off the wind gods this series, as we are looking at some version of calm vs light and variable for tomorrow evening race time. I know, we’re not there yet, and living in Michigan, things can change. Win Larsen has graciously offered to bring his pontoon out for our race committee, and Race Chair for the evening is Steve Weatherford, with Dave Stiemsma on-board as assisting. Any news of cancellations will be posted on our Facebook site, and if any folks aren’t regularly on Facebook, please let me know – I will get the information to you via phone call or e-mail (let me know which). We will stop by the landing to spread the word as well. We will gather at Brewsters regardless of whether we race or not Tuesday. It’s time to start talking about the summer float party, which we are hoping to schedule for Sunday Aug 4th.
Spring Series Week #5 – June 4, 2019
Tuesday looks promising as far as wind goes, with wind predictions ranging from 10 – 20 mph to 10 – 15 mph and temperatures in the mid 70s, with a slight chance of rain in the late afternoon. Race Chair for the evening is Jerry Mohney and we meet as Brewster’s afterwards. Our Principal Race Officer, Julie has sent over a link for sign-up (Pontoon boats and race Chairs needed!) as a Google Docs file. Any questions, please reach out to Julie or Dan about working with this file. Otherwise, there will be a hard copy of the sign up sheet available at Brewsters after racing.
