The Latest Fleet Scuttlebutt ...................

Hard to believe we’re staring at AUGUST already. It’s been a fairly active sailing season with good turnout for our adult sailing classes and we have a couple of months left for folks to participate.

Of course, August means Governors Cup Regatta and the end of Junior Sailing for the season. If your new to Ware River YC, the Governor’s Cup is our flagship sailing event and this year we celebrate its 59th year. Even if you aren’t a sailor, it’s great to come out and watch the event. The Saturday dinner is open to all members (for a fee), and I hope you’ll consider coming out.

And now for the nautical phrase of the month…………Toe the Line

To conform to the policies of a group.

Members of the British Royal Navy were required to stand barefoot and at attention for inspection. While at attention they lined up along the seams of the planks of the deck with their toes touching the line. This became known as "toeing" the line.

Now you know!

Fair winds and steady seas,
