DATE AND TIME CHANGE: May 20 - First regatta of the season - 3 pm
We are having the 1st Club Regatta of this year's racing season, but it turns out that the date we picked is in direct conflict with a large fishing event, a benefit for the Muscular Dystrophy Society. They are expect 550 additional boats on Thunderbird Lake Saturday May 19th. If you would like to join the fishing event contact Calypso Cove Marina or the MD Society. This situation is however Not the best setting for a sailboat race. So....

We are moving our first informal club race to May 20th at 3pm. Everyone welcome. We will use the no wake buoy in front of the BoatHouse dock as both the start and finish line, then sail south to the permanent marker in front of the dam, southwest corner, then east to the mark across from the BoatHouse, then northwest to the mark just east of the Hog Creek ramp and back to finish. The start will be at 3pm exactly, set your watches by using an official clock of some sort.

Just off the bow:
June 2: Open House
June 16: Family Sailing Camp
June 26: 6 p.m. Centerboard regatta
July 3: Raft Out
July 7: More formal club race, two starts with PRO.
