The first one was a real success, if you missed it, you missed a great sail. The 2nd regatta is scheduled for Oct. 2, 2010. It's at the same place. We hope you can make it to this one and enjoy the great time with us.
Fair weather is finally here and it's time to get out and enjoy it. This weekend is the regatta at Lake Delano in FDR State Park, Georgia. Capt. Sunshine & I will be getting there Friday afternoon and staying in cabin #6, so feel free to come on by. I've been on the horn several times with the park rangers this week and everything is ready to go. We are expecting a troop of scouts and the park is busy putting together a rain gutter regatta for them and we can expect some free sailing in the lake to be taking place as a result. The event kicks off around noon Saturday. The park is cooking dogs and providing cokes for us, one of FDR's favorite foods, and we should have a real good time. If you just want to come out for the day, there is a covered pavilion at the site and I believe it's a $5.00 per day park admittance fee per vehicle. It's around 100 miles East of Montgomery and about 5 miles from Calloway Gardens.
If you decide to forgo the trip please go to our home port and sail...it's too nice not to.
FYI...the next home port sail, on 10/17/2009, and all sails until next summer, will be at 12:00 noon. We are going back to our normal hours...the summer heat is gone!

Due to guests coming into town, I am planning an evening venture... sometime around 5:00PM and staying til sunset (about 7:30). This winds are usually goo at this time.
Two of my home-schooled kids need a sample of pond water to examine under a microscope. (DARN IT! I'll have to go to the pond!) I might be able to time the trip for water extraction for Saturday morning.

It looks like a very good weekend to sail...wish I didn't have to go up North again....RATS. Hey Earl...get up with Capt. D Day (RCGroups UL-1 thread) he may be ready to run his upgraded boat by then.
