Fall Sailing Saturdays

The final Monday night sailing is this coming Monday, August 29th. The following week is Labor Day, and the weekend after that is the PYC Whitecap regatta (for Lightning’s).

A number of us sail into late fall (roughly Thanksgiving). If people are interested we could sail on Saturdays? Nothing at all formal, just enough organization that if people are interested we can agree on a time.

Current thoughts are 11 am Saturdays for those who are interested.

25 Aug (Thursday)

If anyone is thinking about it, I’m planning on sailing tonight, getting to PYC about 4:30.

Looks like good weather for sailing, especially if you can show up a little early.

See you tonight

Not much wind tonight, but there’s good wind predicted for tomorrow, if we can avoid the rain. I’m planning to go tomorrow.

Beat the heat! Go Sailing!

If we can avoid the thunderstorms, should be a great night to be on the water. See you tonight. (We’ll verify the weather before leaving shore.)

As warm as it is, it’s a great day to be on the lake, and if we can avoid the storms, there should be enough wind to move around. (Hopefully, we may get some Jr. Sailors today as well)

See you tonight

June 27

 

Good wind tonight, should be a great evening of sailing (if we can avoid the storms). Hopefully will get some of the Jr. Sailors to come out with us, in which case I expect we’ll have traditional starts (rather than rabbits).

Had a great weekend sailing Lightnings in Bay City at the MI Districts. Saturday’s winds were blowing 15-20 mph, and the waves were 2-3 ft. It’s the cleanest our boat as ever been, as we were constantly taking waves over the deck. (My foul weather gear was continually put to the test.) The legs were set at close to a mile, and running downwind we surfed from mark to mark. I didn’t think to time it, but those legs could not have taken more than 3-4 minutes. Mike Welch will post the results, but it sounded like PYC members Mark Allen and Jim Allen took 1st and 2nd.

See you tonight.
