For the regatta dinner, if you are attending, we are asking fleet members to bring a dessert. Other dishes are provided for by the fleet.

Week 3 Spring Series (5/19/15)
Tuesday is here, and unfortunately, so is the cold front. At 6pm, the weather forecast is for 53 degrees and NW winds 10-20 mph with higher gusts. OK. As usual for this month, we are gathering at Burger Towne after sailing and earlier, around 7 if we don’t race.
Austin Lake Regatta Welcome Dinner
Just a reminder to everyone: we could not put together a welcome dinner at Latitude 42 for Friday evening (5/29/15). Instead, we are gathering at the Larsens’ place. It’s BYOB at this time, and we will distribute a list of restaurants that will deliver pizza and other casual types of food. Come on over and meet your fellow sailors!
Week 2 Spring Series Races CANCELLED
Races for Tuesday, May 12, 2015 have been cancelled due to weather conditions. Sailors will still be meeting at Burger Town Grille at 7 PM. Still to be resolved… a committee boat to use for weekly races.
Committee Boat Required
Many of you were included on the new Sign-up Genius page I put together. Note: this is for the physical boat used for the committee boat and not for staffing. So far we have boats up to Spring Series Week 6 (June 9th) – if we don’t have a boat to use for a given Tuesday night, we won’t be sailing. Each slot is for two weeks, with the first date listed – wouldn’t let me have two dates in the column for as far as I know at this time. Even if you don’t have a boat, take a look at the page, it’s a neat system that could be used for whatever planning that needs to be done.
Week 2 Spring Series (5/12/15)
This Tuesday (5/12) looks a little warmer, with highs in the mid 50s and winds 15 – 25 mph. Should be interesting! We meet at Burger Town Grille afterwards.
8 Boats Kick Off 2015 Spring Series
Eight hardy (die-hard) sailors braved the 50 degree weather and chance of rain to kick off Week 1 of the 2015 Spring racing series on Austin Lake.
ALCA Spring 2015 Racing Series Begins!
Tuesday, May 5, 2015, we start our Spring series, white flag at 6:30 pm. Forecast is for east wind,10-15 mph with rain showers and possibly a thunderstorm. Looking at the hourly forecast, the chances of rain decrease after 6, so there’s a decent chance that we would be able to sail. Jerry Mohney is our race chair this year, and he will keep us posted on a go or no go decision. We meet at Burger Towne on Shaver Road afterwards, or around 7 in the event we don’t sail. Remember to join the fleet if you haven’t already, and coming to Burger Towne is also a great chance to sign up for the ALCA regatta on May 30-31, 2015!
