We’re at week 5 and just coming off a great regatta at our home lake, we got several races in despite the rainy weather on Saturday with no wind and despite the chilly early spring temps on Sunday and strong winds. Nice job Cesar, Jesse, Win, Dave, and everyone else!
Tuesday looks like a very pleasant sunny day, with light east wind, 5-10 mph. We have a considerable amount of food left over (Lori, Margaret and Julie were the food guru’s) and would like to share it with everyone. We are meeting at Jeff Daane’s after or instead of racing. His address is 9918 East Shore Dr., Portage, 49002 (for those who want to enter it into your nav. apps). THE KEG IS DEAD……SO BYOB! Jeff said he doesn’t remember ever seeing a keg so empty!
Once again, we cancelled racing for the night due to inclement weather conditions. We WILL be going to Burger Town Grille this week however, around 7 PM. For the following weeks, we are planning to go to Brewster’s. Stay tuned!
For the regatta dinner, if you are attending, we are asking fleet members to bring a dessert. Other dishes are provided for by the fleet.
Tuesday is here, and unfortunately, so is the cold front. At 6pm, the weather forecast is for 53 degrees and NW winds 10-20 mph with higher gusts. OK. As usual for this month, we are gathering at Burger Towne after sailing and earlier, around 7 if we don’t race.
Just a reminder to everyone: we could not put together a welcome dinner at Latitude 42 for Friday evening (5/29/15). Instead, we are gathering at the Larsens’ place. It’s BYOB at this time, and we will distribute a list of restaurants that will deliver pizza and other casual types of food. Come on over and meet your fellow sailors!
Many of you were included on the new Sign-up Genius page I put together. Note: this is for the physical boat used for the committee boat and not for staffing. So far we have boats up to Spring Series Week 6 (June 9th) – if we don’t have a boat to use for a given Tuesday night, we won’t be sailing. Each slot is for two weeks, with the first date listed – wouldn’t let me have two dates in the column for as far as I know at this time. Even if you don’t have a boat, take a look at the page, it’s a neat system that could be used for whatever planning that needs to be done.
This Tuesday (5/12) looks a little warmer, with highs in the mid 50s and winds 15 – 25 mph. Should be interesting! We meet at Burger Town Grille afterwards.
Tuesday, May 5, 2015, we start our Spring series, white flag at 6:30 pm. Forecast is for east wind,10-15 mph with rain showers and possibly a thunderstorm. Looking at the hourly forecast, the chances of rain decrease after 6, so there’s a decent chance that we would be able to sail. Jerry Mohney is our race chair this year, and he will keep us posted on a go or no go decision. We meet at Burger Towne on Shaver Road afterwards, or around 7 in the event we don’t sail. Remember to join the fleet if you haven’t already, and coming to Burger Towne is also a great chance to sign up for the ALCA regatta on May 30-31, 2015!
