Hi everyone,
Who is in for Robie Pierce fleet racing practice this Wednesday?
And who is in for match racing practice on Thursday?
For anyone interested, the BUBS board will be having a conference call
tonight to discuss fundraising with John Oliviera from ABC. All sailors and
volunteers are welcome to join the call.

Last week we had four boats at Wednesday practice and got off five races or
so. Duane and Denis won the night in tricky shifts. It was a beautiful
evening with wisps of fog floating over the river. On Thursday, we had one
boat out without any guides aboard! Pauline and Willi practiced starts
using an audible buoy, while Grace and Leo coached from a motorboat. Come
join the fun this week (with all three buoys)!
Yesterday, Pauline, Jason and I trained one new sighted guide. Welcome,
Jim!
For those not on Facebook, a couple of photos are attached from last week's
practice. Descriptions are in the post script.
Sail fast!
Grace
P.S.
Photo 1: Sunset over the Cambridge skyline, with a silhouette of an Ideal
18 sailing upwind towards the viewer through wispy fog.
Photo 2: Pauline and Willi sailing a Sonar around an audible buoy, heeled
over about to trim in the main. Dark water and faint mackerel sky.
