To All – Tomorrow night is the first night of Wednesday Night racing - May 3rd, 6:30 starting time. We hope you all renewed your PHRF certificate for this year. Remember, you must have a valid 2017 PHRF rating and be a paid-up member of the Cruising Fleet to be scored. We are looking for 4 more volunteers for Race Patrol duty. Each year the Cruising Fleet is responsible for providing Race Patrol assistance at selected events. Here are the current outstanding dates which need to be filled now. First come, first served: Monday, May 29th – Laser/Sunfish Regatta Wednesday, August 16th - Wednesday Night racing Wednesday, August 30th - Wednesday Night racing Sunday, September 3rd – Labor Day Regatta We rely on volunteers, but if the list cannot be filled then we must start assigning folks for specific dates. The good news is that if you are a racer, and volunteer to be on Race Patrol, you may ask to receive your average score for the season for that event. For those that don’t race, being on Race Patrol requires no advanced training, lets you spend a lovely day/evening on the water watching other people make mistakes, and helps your Fleet fulfill a major Club obligation. Please note this is a Fleet obligation, not part of your Club work service obligation. If you can’t make your date, it is your duty to find and arrange for a replacement. Lastly, we are looking for a few volunteers to help out with the Opening Day BBQ Saturday, may 13th . Please contact me or Jeff Levy ( <mailto:jaffloat@me.com> jaffloat@me.com) if you can help with set up, in the kitchen, serving, and – of course everybody’s favorite – clean-up. This is always a fun time to work together, so please come be part of the Cruising Fleet team. See you on the water.
