Good afternoon everyone,

We will be meeting inside this afternoon for practice. Sailors should still bring warm and rainproof clothes to wear outside but we will not be sailing! We will be starting and ending our day at the Bellingham Yacht Club downstairs; Cooper and I will be there to open the doors at 3:30pm. 

Also, if you have tried to contact me via the Remind app and it is not working, please respond to this email instead.

Please let me know if you have any questions and I look forward to seeing all sailors shortly!
