My friend is coming that I said I might bring. Does that still work?

Hi all,
We're set up for a pleasant, light breeze this evening on the Charles River.
Please be mindful that as often happens this time of year, the river has
recently experienced a pretty big algal bloom, so take care to wash up after
sailing tonight. Don't drink the river!
Here's who I think is coming for open practice tonight:
Katherine, Katy Boyd, Chris, Willi, David, Jason, Daisy, Richard, Katie Bova,
Grace, Duane?, Alex and students.
Something different for practice tonight: Alex and his students are going to
set up two sonars with a new system they've been working on. I don't know
much about it, but I know he would love to have us test it out! Since they
will be there early tonight, we may take out the audible buoys and practice
with those, too.
Dog plan: If you're bringing a dog, try to get them a lifejacket while we're
waiting for folks to arrive to save time later.
See you at 5:30 by the picnic tables on the dock!
Grace

Hey sailors!
Last Thursday's plan went from almost bailing on the whole thing to having
four boats out and a race/dog committee at CBI! We did some tacking and
jibing on the whistle, and several practice starts, where boats improved on
staying near the line and being on time to start. We also saw the return of
Willi from his adventures in Puerto Rico, and Alex and students testing
equipment on a skiff. Welcome back!
This week we've got a rather warm forecast with some good wind on Tuesday.
If you would like to come to Advanced Racing on Tuesday, please let the
coaches know.
Please RSVP by Wednesday if you plan on attending Thursday Open Practice,
and if there's anything specific you'd like to work on, speak up!
Finally, Grace will be taking a vacation next week, Aug 5-9, and also Aug
19-23. I encourage everyone to make plans to go sailing together anyway -
the world is your oyster! Christina has volunteered to organize while I am
away, so please direct inquiries to her. Thank you, Christina!
See you this week,
Grace
