General Membership Meeting & Sea Bag Sale
GENERAL MEMBERSHIP MEETING = TOMORROW NIGHT!!!

Looking forward to hearing from our guest speaker, Dr. Chris Lowe. Dr. Lowe is a professor in marine biology and Director of the Shark Lab at California State University Long Beach, where he and his students work with acoustic and satellite telemetry techniques to study the movement, behavior and physiology of sharks, rays and gamefishes. This should prove to be VERY interesting.

Our Junior Fleet is hosting the evening and will include a 50/50 Drawing and promote the selling of Sea Bags .

It's that time of year to update our Membership Directory . You can do so by editing your profile online or calling Sheila or Ariana in the office to complete the changes for you. Our plans to publish one, in writing, depend on your listings being current. Please, please do so quickly!

This Past Week’s Events:
This last weekend's Opti regatta in Marina Del Rey was a huge success. Congratulations to all of our fantastic sailors, the improvement this Fall and Spring has been astounding. Huge shout-out to our Green Fleet sailors for being so excited about the big breeze that they all stayed out AFTER racing was finished on Sunday to plane around the harbor! Our Champ Fleet weathered some sticky situations and gave some fantastic results, Tate 3rd in Blue Fleet and Gage 1st in White Fleet! Thank you to everyone for coming out and making this a fantastic weekend!

This Upcoming Week:
Make sure you bring your foulies! This week (and weekend's) forecast is rain so make sure you bring the appropriate gear to practice!!! Breeze should be on and we're really looking forward to seeing you!!!
