SLYC

Well, the Sardis Cup Regatta is behind us and the season is mostly over. I don’t know about you but to me it seems it went too fast. Where did the summer go?

I do wish that there was more active interest in the yacht club and participation on this web site. this site was set up using a WordPress blog format so that everyone could contribute but there doesn’t seem to be much activity here. We see each other on the water but can’t seem to get organized.

I wish I had had a camera aboard in race 3 as Serendipity crossed El Tiberon at the windward mark. Man! She really had a bone in her teeth! Coming down like a fast freight! Wasn’t sure for a few minutes if we could cross. She was on starboard tack and we were on port.

I had Mike Kelly (novice) for crew in that one and am kind of glad he didn’t know to be nervous. The wind was really too much for Serendipity and we were really pushing the limits. Add to that a close crossing at a closing speed of close to 15 knots and it could have been interesting! Much more so than the incident between Seth and Jay.

So, its time to start thinking and planning for next year. And this site is, probably, the only place we will come together before spring so, PLEASE, jump in and post. If you aren’t familiar with blogs and don’t know how to post, read the How To; it gives brief
instructions.

See you here, I hope, and on the water next year. And let’s try to really get the Club organized before then. Okay?
