Summer Series Week #7 – August 23, 2022
Ahoy,
I can’t believe we’re almost to the end of our season…
Weather for Tuesday: temps High 70s. Partly cloudy. winds NW pretty steady around 7 mph hopefully it’ll pick up some.
Jeff Daane is race committee for our last 2 weeks. Thanks in advance Jeff!
After sailing (or in the event of a cancellation) we will be meeting at Jac’s Cekola’s Portage https://jacscekolaspizza.com/. I would encourage people with boats to park either in the back or to the north (by Habitat or Colonial Kitchen).
Former ALCA fleet member Jim & Kathy Kuk will be in town on Tuesday and plan on being out on the committee boat. If racing is cancelled, we will still meet at Jac’s Pizza, but those wanting to catch up with the Kuk’s will leave around 9 PM to go to Dave Dunlap & Kathy Rubino’s house on Long Lake for a fire and visit with the Kuk’s.

Summer Series Week #5 – August 9, 2022
Ahoy fellow sailors,
Week 5 is here! The weather looks pretty good, mid 70s partly cloudy with no rain, wind is predicted to be NNW / N about 6mph dialing down later in the evening. still a ways out though so who knows.
Race committee will be Jerry Mohney thanks guys!
IMPORTANT NOTE: If we race Tuesday, we are trying to get a friend of new sailor Cameron Dick, to get some drone footage of the race starts. The intent is to use stills from the drone for a new multi-year trophy base. We want to have as many boats as possible on the starts, so weather permitting, come out and be part of ALCA history!
After sailing (or in the event of a cancellation) this week we will be gathering at Jerry and Lori Mohneys for pizza provided by the fleet. BYOB beverages and a small dish if you want.
The address is 2812 East Shore Dr https://goo.gl/maps/idrwpwrP8CvcQcAc9
parking can be tight for those of us with boats so park along the road and please don’t block anyone’s driveway.
