The Latest Fleet Scuttlebutt.....

Sailing in Texas on Wednesday nights!

As I write this I’m sitting in a hotel room in Seabrook Texas overlooking Clear Lake…..its 80 degrees and there are a number of sailboats sailing around out near the cut channel going into Kemah. The breeze is brisk, probably a steady 12 knots out of the southeast and the boats and crew are getting ready to start the Wednesday night beer can races. But I digress……………

Well, back at WRYC, by contrast, there isn’t much going on. Fall is upon us and we will be moving the keel boats on November the 4th to their winter home over at Mobjack Bay Marina, and the other club boats will get repositioned in the field storage area in the next few weeks I know I’ve mentioned organizing a workday to put some of the lasers back together and I’ll get around to it but it may be spring now before it happens. I mentioned this in the last Telltale I believe, but if anyone would like to donate to the Adult sailing program in support of fleet maintenance it would be greatly appreciated. Any amount you feel comfortable with is accepted as it will go directly to Fleet and the boat repairs. $25, $50, whatever you can contribute.

Other wise we’re getting ready for our highlight event, the Fall Oyster Roast and hope to see you all there.

Steady winds and trailing seas be upon you,
