Summer Series Week #1 – July 7, 2020

Welcome sailors!
Hopefully, everyone had a nice 4th of July weekend, we saw several boats out practicing and making sure they found all of the boat parts!  I have emailed the updated 2020 ALCA Directory (as of tonight) and as you can see, we have some of the ALCA “Sailing Kids” who grew up in the fleet joining us this summer as skippers with their Mom’s as crew!!
The weather forecast for Tuesday looks HOT and sticky…at 6 pm – 91° feels like 94°  Sunny WNW 7 mph.

See you at the start 6:30 pm sharp for hopefully two races.  Be sure to follow our FB page and look for emails if we cannot sail.
Happy 1st night of Sailing!

Spring Series week #8 – June 25, 2019

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 #4 – May 28, 2019

Here we are at week 4 for the 2019 Spring Series, and I have a great feeling that we will sail today!  Winds are predicted to be 8 mph out of the west (SailFlow) at 6 pm, with partly cloudy skies, and temps in the low to mid 60s.  Water isn’t too bad off the Austin L shore, but it’s still wetsuit weather in my book!  Race Chair for the night is Andy Lenczycki, and the Committee boat is his and Julie’s, with Julie, Keith and Dixie helping to run the races.    Remember, we meet at Brewster’s afterwards, and if you haven’t joined yet, tonight would be the time!  If you’re not currently listed in the 2019 Series Results, you are not a current member. I will have forms so bring your checkbooks or cash.
