WINB Regatta Logistics

Hi everyone,

Here is who will be going to WINB regatta next weekend:

Avery, Hazel, Linnea, Marin, Nusret (5 sailors)

If anyone else would like to go, please let me know ASAP and sign up on the regatta spreadsheet. We have space to take up to 3 more sailors.

Carpool drivers: 

Anna (4) and Linnea's dad Darrin (4). As of right now, we do not need any additional drivers. 

Sailors should bring:

All of their sailing gear (PFD, wetsuit, spare layers, extra socks, towel, etc.), a sleeping bag and sleeping pad, toiletries, homework, a packed lunch for at least Saturday, money for dinner, and packed food or money for breakfast and lunch Sunday, and anything else they need to survive for 48 hours.

Plan:

Drive down Saturday morning EARLY, sail Saturday, then sleep Saturday night at a local sailing family's house in Olympia, sail Sunday, then drive home Sunday evening. We are still waiting on exact regatta schedule to be confirmed by organizers, but sailors should plan to leave Bellingham around 6:30am on Saturday and be home around 7:30pm Sunday.
