Tryouts postponed until Wednesday

All:

We will not have open tryouts on Monday the 15th as advertised. We still do not have clearance from base legal so I do not have a safety boat available.

We will have a "meet and greet" at the sailing center from 4:00-6:00 p.m. tomorrow for anyone who can make it. If you have base access, please arrange to be at the sailing center at 4:00 pm. If you cannot get on base, don't worry -- things should be okay by Wednesday.

My intention tomorrow is to set preliminary expectations, discuss the season, talk a bit about high sailing regatta formats and perhaps have a short racing rules lecture. I plan on having one 420 available for about an hour, checked out by someone with the base sailing ticket (Jake or Erynn or ???)) and have some short upwind/downwind tacking/jibing drills in the lagoon with everyone stepping through the crew position.

If you have a pfd, please bring it. Closed toed shoes are required. The forecast is for S-SSE winds from 7-8 mph. Obviously we would not get on the water if there is a t-storm in the area.

Please disseminate this info to as many folks that you know may be interested.
