Hi Inky-
This is all getting way too political for me. I really don’t understand the
whole backgound of what’s going on so maybe you can call me when you get a
chance and give me an update.

BUBS and Sighted Guides,
Last night I hosted conference call with only blind sailors. The purpose of
this meeting was to review BUBS financial status and future regatta plans. It
is important to have a budget to work with for the season.
It is with great regretted that this morning I read Katherine’s message to BUBS
members and guides. At no time dealing with blind sailing, I ever mentioned
that “we do not need sighted guides” We all know without sighted guides we
cannot successfully achieve our goal during regatta.
My great appreciation goes to our dedicated sighted guides who always assisted
blind sailors in the past and future. You always going to be welcome in the
blind sailors world.
Blind sailors and guides there will be BUBS under ABC. If people wish to move
on and start another sailing group, we wish you the best. BUBS under ABC will
recruit new members and sighted guides. The process has started and moving.
If you are interested sailing with us, please contact us.
Thanks,
Inky

BUBS and Guides,
This message was sent on 10/16/2018 unfortunately did not get to the BUBS
members. Upon my return from overseas trip, on 10/15/2018, I held a conference
call with only blind sailors to review BUBS financial situation and how to plan
for the 2019 sailing season. It is unfortunate to read Katherine message on
Tuesday. I never mentioned at any time before or now mentioned to anyone that
“we do not need sighted people in our sailing group: I know that our success
as blind sailors goes along with the great assistance from our dedicated
sighted guides. I greatly regretted seeing Katherine message to the blind
sailors and dedicated guides.
BUBS and guides, I would like to inform you that there will be BUBS activities
under ABC. For those who wish to move on, we wish you the best.
Blind sailors and sighted guides who would like to assist BUBS under ABC,
please contact us with BUBS email cc to me. We started recruiting interested
blind sailors and guides for the 2019 sailing season. I would like to thank
many people who have reached out to me and your encouragement is greatly
appreciated. You will be notified of our next activity. Interested blind
sailors and sighted sailors who wish to join BUBS under ABC, you are welcome.
Thank you,
Inky
I hope everyone has read all the way through.
Sincerely,
Inky
