Getting Ready!
January 17, 2010 at 11:47 pm | Posted in News | 5 CommentsThe 2010 sailing season is just around the corner. The board is planning racing schedules, regatta weekends and the Spring Fling. We discussed adding a regional regatta to the schedule. LOVE that idea as it will maybe get me to go outside the club venues.

Saving Sailing
January 18, 2010 at 12:45 am | Posted in Comments | Leave a commentDuring the board meeting today, Joanne mentioned the book Saving Sailing by Nicholas D. Hayes. I ordered it on the spot with my Droid because it sounds like a book that anyone interested in keeping the sailing club going should be reading. Being relatively new to sailing, I didn’t know that the sport has declined a lot in the last decade. I suppose there are a lot of activities that compete for everyone’s time, but if it is a choice between sitting around watching football and being out on the water, Let’s Sail!
