We will be meeting at the Windmill Restaurant at 8:00am.  Eat before you leave or eat in the car.  We will be putting in at Long Cove State Ramp stopping on the way at Vonnie’s on Rt. 213 (between Galena and Kennedyville) to pick up the permits.  The ramp has space for storing the cars and trailers overnight.  We plan to spend Saturday sailing in the Chester River observing the annual Regatta of the Corsica River Yacht club. We will be participating in their chicken dinner/band/beer truck/ festivities.  We will spend the night moored in the Chester.  Bring food and drink to cover lunch on Saturday and Sunday and breakfast Sunday morning.  Contact Tom S. or Mike D. to be included and for dinner reservations.  Need a crew or a ride- call ASAP.

A group of around 25 enjoyed a potluck dinner on a pleasantly warm evening. Many of the sailors in attendance had recently returned from the Abacos and spent the evening sharing stories with those unable to make the trip.

It looks like the forecast will be good for sailing as Accuweather is calling for sunny skies with temps in the mid 80’s and winds 9-10.

Hope to see as many boats on the water as last week. And as always we are looking for people to crew.

Weather was perfect, winds were light, but steady. Five sailboats and two kayaks attended. Armando was there in his Surprise. Ray was there with his Catalina 22, the Katzens with their Hunter 23, Dante with his Compac 16; Lou was there with Jersey Girl, but with more boats than crew he sailed with Ray. John was there paddling his kayak and ran in to Crista watching Armando from a shady spot along the shore. Looking forward to another big turn-out next week.
