"May"be its time to get back on the water!

Ok not my most clever play on words but you get the idea. Both the air and water temps are rising and we’re ready to start launching some boats. We haven’t announced an official start to the season, but I believe we’re looking at May 14th/15th to start getting boats in the water. As I reported last month, we had a very successful workday, and the fleet is in good shape. Thanks to Joe Morgan, John Singleton for putting TB back on her mooring and David Waldman for getting Wagtail positioned back on hers.

We also have new inflatable dinghy’s that will accompany both Keel boats as tenders. There are few items to address with Wagtail before she can do an overnight, but the new Keelboat TB is ready. We are still working out details on a checkout procedure and release forms, but if you want to get checked out, please get with me or Joe Morgan and we’ll make arrangements. For those that want to do a day sail we can accommodate up to 4 on Wagtail and up to 6 on TB. If you're not comfortable skippering there are several qualified members who can assist and again, get with me or Joe to make arrangements.

I will be working on several of the details on Albacore sailing and adult sailing classes this week and will get something out to the sailing community soon. Thanks, and I look forward to a robust sailing season at Ware River. Hope to see you on the water soon!

Respectfully, Jim Garrett , Fleet Cap’n.
