Well, Twice Belled is launched. Mast is up and the boat secured. We followed Deanna J at the gin pole and got some help from club members in getting things hooked up and the boat over to the slip. That’s one of the nice things about sailing, it seems there’s always a helping hand when you need it.
Our club racers have attended the skipper’s meeting and are actively tuning up for the spring series. The  cruise committee advises they have volunteers for all the cruise leader positions. Check out the schedule and plan to participate. You can download the registration form from our web site.
We are planning to have a great summer both cruising and racing. Why not come out and join us.
See you soon.
