sure passed quickly. We had the Fishing Contest, and the Around the Sound
Regatta. If you read the papers you will see we have been getting a lot of
publicity. Hopefully it will attract some new interest in our club.
I
want to thank Bob and Ann Antrim for volunteering to head the Landside
Committee, and I encourage everyone to support them.
As
for May, it looks like we will have another very active month. We have the 11th
annual Coastal Cup Regatta between our Club and the Golden Isle Sailing Club on
May 12th, our own Nassau Sound Race on May 19th and of course our Memorial Day
weekend cruise to
All
of these events are a lot of fun and I encourage everyone to participate. If
you want to race, you do not need a boat, just join us at the Captain's meeting

overnight on, just drive up to
Hope
to see you at next Tuesday meeting; I hear it is going to be a fun event.
Thanks
for all your support

The
Cruise to Jekyll Harbor is all set for 26-28 May and we have 15 boats signed up
to go with only 3 boats that I do not know if reservations at made for. We have
480 feet of dock space reserved. The first evening at Jekyll everyone is on
their own for dinner and we will have dock gathering in the evening for
cocktails and discussion about the Dingy Races on Sunday. Sunday morning we
will have a Mimosa gathering starting between 9 and 10 so everyone should bring
a morning tasty treat to share as well as champagne and orange juice. Dingy
Races will start between 11 and 12AM, (men’s, ladies and couples blind races)
there will be wonderful prizes for the winners and a special prize awarded to
the BEST DRESSED COUPLES CREW. There will also be a NEW BOAT awarded to the
winner of the DOCKSIDE Fishing contest to be awarded at the Sunday nights
dockside dinner. The fish must be caught at the docks and presented to each
boat captain for inspection, measurement and certification as to being a real
fish. A roll call of boat Captains will be made so make sure your fish has been
measured, inspected and certified by each Captain. Sunday night about 6PM there
will be a pot luck dinner dockside and everyone should cook there own main
course and bring a side dish to share.
