MARCH 8, 2021
A NEW SAILING SEASON
How many more obstacles do we need to tackle in order to
sail? Harbor shoaled in and Covid are
and were major obstacles. Mechanical
problems are another. On Pair A Dice, my
oil pan rusted through and I have a new engine on order. I was able to temporarily patch the oil pan
with JB weld so I am still able to take the boat out and conduct the Tuesday Night
Sailing from Pair A Dice.
Covid is still an issue.
Many of us who are old enough to retire have received at least one of
the two Covid vaccinations that are required for 90+% safety. My personal feeling is that Covid will quickly
dissipate as more vaccinations are given.
I encourage everyone to wear a
properly fitted mask any time on a boat.
PFD and mask go hand in hand, please wear both until further notice and
lifting of mask restrictions .
It is the start of a new season of Tuesday Night Sailing. With the change in time implemented on March
14, our first Tuesday Night Sailing will be on Tuesday the 16th. We will be using the same (yellow) course cards
as last year. The start time will be our
usual 6pm (5:55 horn). Below are the documents
for this year: Notice of race, Sailing instructions and course card copy. There is also an application for entering your
boat for the season. Please submit a check for payment with your registration. REMEMBER TO RUN YOUR RACE QS APP!
I am looking forward to another great season of sailing and
association with my sailing friends. Hopefully,
by the end of the season, we will not even remember what a mask is.
