Fernando:
We just got the report, and saw the sirens/sheriff boat mobilizing.  We  heard that a boat capsized on Portage near Bootjack.

Advise it is a good day to party at the dock. Please alert OYC.

Hi OYC skippers,


There is a Severe Weather Special Statement today, gusts up to 40~45 (see below). Are we going to race anyway this afternoon? It looks rather "challenging". Please let me know, so I can disband my crew and they can continue working at their labs.



Kind Regards,

Fernando

Ahoy Sailors!

Scott Veenstra (assigned committee for today) tells me the races are off.  Why don't we scrimmage on Friday, 4pm, and use the times and courses for the single handed pursuit races.

Cheers,
Dieter

Hi Dieter, 

I really wish I could, but I don't think that I can gather the crew for it. 

Kind Regards,
Fernando

Likewise, I'm tied up all Friday (thru next Thurs).

Plenty of wind these days --- wish we could put it in the wind bank ;)
