Ahoy hoy,

This is sadly our final week of racing this year. Temps looks to be in the low 70s with a small chance of scattered showers. BUT, as long as we don’t have any lightning we should be fine, getting wet won’t kill us. but we’ll continue to monitor the situation. Winds are forecasted to be glorious at 10 gusting 15 out of the NE. Assuming the weather stays fair we should have a great night!

Race Chair for the week is Michael Kucharski, Thanks in advance Mike! 

After sailing gathering at Kathy & Dave’s on Long Lake.  Burgers, hot dogs and chicken brats, chips, and water will be provided by the fleet.  BYOB and if you like, a snack, side, dessert to pass.  Assistance appreciated with the grilling.  Parking is available across the street, especially for early arrivers. The party is on even if we are cancelled. Weather permitting, will be outside with a bonfire, so dress accordingly.

Update from Kathy Rubino – Fleet After Sailing Results & Get Together

For anyone getting to our place before either Dave or I get back, we are asking to be careful to not let our kitties out.  Patrick will be here, and kitties will be around waiting to sneak outside.  You are welcome to come into the house, enter through the grill porch (east side of house, left hand side if you are facing the house from the lake side).

Make yourself at home, have some snacks and we’ll see you soon!

Ahoy! 

Week 6 is upon us already. Weather is looking decent at temps in the 70s and winds forecasted anywhere from 2-12 but it appears that there is a shift predicted around that time tomorrow, we’ll see if it comes in early or stretches out further. I’m also only looking at one model so who knows.

John Hayward is RC again this week! Thanks in advance, John! 

Jacs after as usual. 

We have a date set for our year end party/ awards banquet. It will be Friday October 6th at Travler’s Pub, further details in the coming weeks.

This Week CRAM held a Regatta in St. Ignace on Lake Huron. Wind was AMAZING the whole regatta we got 11 races in over the course of 3 days! ALCA was represented well with First place taken by myself and Lidsay, and third place taken by Michael Kucharski in the Hobie 16 Fleet.

Larry Maniak Took first place in the open Fleet on his A-cat.

Ahoy all,

Week 4 is here! Hopefully we get more wind than last week. Weather is looking to be in the mid 80s and partly cloudy. The wind is looking a little light at the moment at about 4 mph out of the NNE. HOWEVER that forecast has DOUBLED since yesterday afternoon. So we’ll keep an eye on it and see if we can get something to work with. DO YOUR WIND DANCES!!! 

John Hayward is race chair, Thanks in advance John!
