I'm
writing this to ya'll just prior to disappearing from Amelia Island for two
weeks on business and vacation travel.
By the time of our next AISC meeting, at the Kraft Athletic Center on Tuesday September 3rd, happy
hour starting at 6:30 pm, we will have had our annual Bikini Regatta and
cruised up to St. Simons for the Labor Day week-end!
I'm
looking forward to race reports from the
Bikini Regatta, which will be held on Saturday AUGUST 24th. Hopefully there will be a good good
turn-out, good sailing winds and a close finish! We also have to start making plans for the upcoming Florida -
Georgia Ocean Challenge, to be held in October.
Ben
Franklin from the Amelia Island Yacht Basin will be our speaker at our
September meeting (thanks Gene). I'm
looking forward to meeting Mr. Franklin and learning more about the ongoing and
planned improvements at AIYB.
Thanks
again to Vice Commodore Butch Beard for arranging the AISC web-site. It's pretty neat and a good way to get
sailing info out to the club and communicate with each other between monthly
meetings.
Have
a happy and safe Labor day week-end with your family and friends!
VICE COMMODORE:
This has been quite a month for trying to get things up and running on the AISC group on yahoo. I tried lots of things that the site provides like a poll that said DON’T reply but go on-line and vote. I am happy to say that only about half voted by replying to the email. We have pictures. Thanks Tom who got some great shots of the race. We have schedules, calendars, lists of things for sale, etc. There is lots for folks to look at and help with. Finally I would like to thank Tom C who has accepted the task of site monitor and has stayed right on top of things.
The
address is http://groups.yahoo.com/group/aisailingclub.
Thanks,
Butch
