LET'S HAVE A REGATTA!!!

First let me recap Flag Raising! It was a very warm day, but with a nice breeze. 80+ people enjoyed a little bubbly and a Scoot’s BBQ dinner. While it wasn’t on the normal weekend…we managed to get the club up and running for the season! Speaking of normal…we may not be quite there yet. Unfortunately, we have had to cancel the 4th of July Social. This decision was not made lightly; part of this was due to lack of manpower and also fireworks had not been purchased. I know in Beve’s last eBlast, she was asking for people to step up to the plate to help with functions. We had 2 new members respond right away to help with the Albacore Nationals. This was very welcomed!

The next major function at the club will be The Governor’s Cup Regatta, July 31st-Aug 1st. and I believe this is the 56th year!!! This brings sailors from up and down the Chesapeake Bay and is a fun weekend to be around the club. Since registration is all done on line, less volunteers are needed inside. More of the volunteering comes with actually running the regatta, which the Race Committee does an admirable job!

The inside volunteer people fix breakfast for Saturday and Sunday morning that sell. We also have lunch that can be purchased for the sailors to take with them. Saturday evening dinner is offered from a Food Truck that members and sailors can all partake in. As I said, whether you are a sailor or a spectator, this id a FUN time to be at the CLUB!!!
