Team Gear, Inclement Weather Plan, and Cascadia Cup!

Hi all,

A couple of updates as we get further into our season:

Inclement Weather Plan

Our inclement weather plan is to meet in the basement of the Bellingham Yacht Club, the same location as the info meeting: 2625 S Harbor Loop Dr, Bellingham WA 98225. It is about a 10 minute walk from our normal sailing location at Zuanich Park. If the weather or forecast requires it, we send out day-of practice location reminders on Remind. 

Remind App

If you did not get our Remind message about indoor practice on Tuesday, please make sure you can in the future! Remind is how we send SMS messages to the team in case of sudden change of plans (like Tuesday's practice). You can join our Remind by texting "@sailboats" to the phone number 81010. The Remind app is not required to get messages. If you cannot join the Remind for some reason, please let us know ASAP so we can troubleshoot or make a game plan.

Team Gear

If you ordered team gear (hats, tees, hoodies), please pay parent Jayna Neuman (cc'd) who organized the team gear and stickers. She accepts PayPal (@jaynaneuman), Venmo(@jayna-williams-neuman) & cash app ($jaynaneuman). 

Cascadia Cup Oct. 11-12:

If you haven't yet, please make sure to fill out the regatta signups as "yes" or "no" for next weekend. Cooper and I will be sending out a logistics email tomorrow based on who is signed up as "yes".

Please let us know if you have any questions!

Have a great weekend and we look forward to seeing you all next week.

Best,

Anna
