UPDATES:
SPECIAL ANNOUNCMENTS FROM
THE COMMODORE
The next General Membership Meeting will be held on Thursday, May 6 starting at 1730 at Island Cove Marina, 806 Lakewood Road on Bayou Chico. We will continue to meet there for the remainder of this year.
To get there, turn left at the last exit off Barrancas Ave before the Bayou Chico Bridge. Go north about 4 blocks and you will see the Marina sign on the right. Park in the upper lot for easy access to the Clubhouse.
We appreciate the ownership of Island Cove Marina allowing us to use their beautiful Clubhouse for our meetings. We are returning to meeting on the first Thursday of every month through November, 2021. The only exception will be in July when we will meet the first Wednesday, July 7, to avoid 4th of July weekend conflicts.
On another note of importance, we have engaged Hal Smith from PYC to finish up the Sailing/Racing Training for which we held one session in early March 2020, then COVID-19 hit and the rest is history. Next Tuesday, April 20 at the Island Cove Marina, starting at 1730 (for about 2 hours) Hal will review what he covered last March and finish up his enlightening presentation on the Racing Rules of Sailing, strategy, tactics, rounding marks, etc
