SONAR FLEET 1 NEWSLETTER

FLEET RACING:

Sunday June 12:

No racing. Too much wind.


No...really...

Wind speed at Norwalk Light
Gusts 30-40 mph will break more than a vang.

Talk about feast or famine, what a strange year we've had so far. 

Our next chance to race on Sunday June 19 is also our Vice Commodore's Race Day. Remember, all races on Sunday will count towards the Vice Commodore's race trophy.

FLEET COOKOUTS:



Our first fleet cookout was a huge success, thanks to great weather but mostly to Harry and Maribeth Milne.

Stay tuned for our next cookout scheduled for July 24. We still need a volunteer to host it.

Here are the dates:

Sunday July 24, hosted by TBD (who'll step up?)
Sunday August 14, hosted by The Monros and Infurnas

DUES:

Fleet 1 dues is $50. If you have not already done so... you know who you are... please send a check made out to "Sonar Fleet 1" (include your name, boat number and partner's names.) to:
