We are getting ready to head out to set the marks for this afternoon’s “walkabout” races.
Admiral Nelson Habecker (# 54) has schemed up a race where we’ll start from our regular sailing location and then proceed to sail around marks (starboard roundings) set in each of the canals in Holiday Harbor, such that we’ll walk the boardwalk, following our boats all the way around the complex, and end by crossing the finish line where we started – we’ll just be on the other side of the canal!
After regrouping from the first race, we’ll start another race going in the opposite direction (port roundings) and will finish back where we started the day. It should be fun as it is a beautiful day with wind! Now the decision is which sail to use! See you for the start at 2 p.m.
IMPORTANT NEWS!!
Today, we are adding a link to the site that will take you to our new store!
After several trials and tests where we experimented with various designs, our first officially sanctioned T-shirt is available for purchase for $18.99.Throughout the year, we’ll add more designs and more products.
The back of the shirt has a QR Code that has a link to our website embedded in it. When someone who has a smartphone photographs the QR Code, they will be taken to our site in their web browser. Pretty high tech, huh?
Support the club and order a few shirts. They are marked up $1 and the profit from each shirt will go into the club account and be used for parties (or awards if there is any money left over after the parties.
SPEED CLIPS
Finally, I found 5- packs of speed clips online for sale for $3.15. One pack of 10 clips will probably last you a lifetime so maybe splitting the order with a fellow sailor would help cut the shipping down which I imagine is more than the item itself.
Speed clips make it convenient to quickly connect and disconnect your mainsheet to the boom clip or your outhaul.
