Hi Grace,
What types of boars are they using on the 15th and what is the format for the
racing?
Thanks for the info.

Subject: [bubs] Practice this week
Hello!
Can you believe there are only two weeks left in August?? Come September, the
sunset will probably be too early to have meaningful practices. With that in
mind, I encourage you all to take advantage of these last couple of weeks of
blind sailing! Even if you haven't been out yet this year, consider it!
Now, if you're bummed about the end of the season, fear not, there are some
opportunities for fall sailing. Community Boating has their annual Charles
Basin Invitational Regatta on September 15, and they would love for some blind
sailors to participate! From the event description:
Registration fee is $50 per boat if you register and pay on or before August
24th ($60 if later), which covers the day’s racing, post-regatta cookout, and
awards. There will also be live music and beer. Proceeds after expenses will go
towards the Junior Racing Program at CBI; we are thrilled to help young racers
in Massachusetts, while creating a spirited competitive event for Boston area
sailors! Participants get a great day of sailing, as well as making racing
possible for young sailors! Registration is on-line at Yacht Scoring:

.
If you are interested in sailing in this regatta but don't have a sighted
guide, don't hesitate to reach out to our little fleet! We can absolutely match
you with someone and help you get ready for race day.
With all that said, who is in for practice this week? Tuesday at 5:30 at
Courageous, and Thursday at 5:30 at CBI?
Sail fast,
Grace
