Thirteen members turned up at the cove today and we had a number of races, two Solings, and the remainder DF95s.  We battled a quirky wind vaguely from the north and enjoyed the sunshine, the water, and the companionship.

The general feeling was that there isn’t much interest in a meeting today so we have decided to abandon the meeting this month and next month unless there’s something we all need to discuss.

If anyone has anything to discuss now, I will log onto Zoom at 3pm……also in case anyone has not read this email first!

A great time today.  I hope to see you all next Tuesday at 11.00 am when the high tide will be at around 10.30.

Next Tuesday, June 16th, is forecast to be a beautiful day. Tide will be low at 10:30AM. Breeze expected to from ENE at 8 knots. Great day for more informal fun racing. Hope you will join us!

Beautiful day at the cove yesterday. 8 boats were there to “shake off the rust”. Only issue was the lack of a breeze. Only 1 painfully slow fun race was completed. Still….it was a fun day and all there complied with the Covid 19 rules. Please join us next week as we continue the unscored racing.

The opening up yesterday was just a tiny chink, but it was a start.Rob, Will, and Bill Raposa went down to the cove early and got the marks in the water.Well done and thanks to all.Paul Mercer and I had brought our Solings and Rob had his DF95We were very pleased to welcome back Dan McHugh,  Dan retired on May 1st so he is free to race with us this year. He brought his Soling too so we had three Solings in the water and Rob’s DF95.  We splashed about for about twenty or thirty minutes and Rob sailed the DF95 that he’d built for Manny.  Manny picked up his new boat from Rob so we’ll have Manny back racing as well.Maybe more members will put a toe in the water next Tuesday, June 9th at 11 am.  It will be high tide at 11.48 so this might present a challenge for “Social Distancing”Stay well,Derek
