The scary thing is, every one of the spinn boats had been sailing at NPSA for years and years…I have no idea why we all didn’t recognize #2, but I’m not sure these are people one wants to solicit for “local knowledg.....

Tom and Marcia did a GREAT job with the opening day cookout. They were assisted by Members of the cruising class. Two new members signed up; so the club is still growing. Over 50 people joined the club for lunch and the nautical flea market. Thanks to all for making it a great success. First race is Wednesday. See you on the water!

Six weeks until the first race, some snow and ice still around our Hbg, PA garden, and that race sunset pic shows up and gets the adrenaline going. Jack Hurley looks good, too.
