Great job to the team this weekend at Island Cup, especially the team of Jack, Lisa, Liam and Elsa for placing 2nd overall out of 28 teams. Attached is a photo of the winning team with their trophy.

This coming weekend we are heading down to Silverdale for a one day regatta.  We need to be there around 8:30 which means we should take the 7:50 edmonds ferry.  So lets plan on meeting at Sehome Haggens bright and early at 5:45 Saturday morning.  Racing will go to 5, so we should be back in bellingham around 8 ish.

 

Entry fee is $5 dollars which gives you lunch.  You should plan on packing your own breakfast Saturday morning and some extra cash for snacks/dinner Saturday on our way back.  We will not stop, but you can buy something on the ferry or while we are waiting for the ferry.  If we need to rent a van I will add $5 to the entry fee.  Also, if you write a check, please make the check out to Whatcom Community Sailing and not me.

SAILORS: I will assume everyone wants to go this weekend unless I hear from you, so please email me if you can't go.

PARENTS: We will need drivers for this weekend, please let me know if you can drive and how many you can hold.  

Attached is the waiver for you to sign bring Saturday.

Thanks,

Island Cup / Exchange Student

Parents, and Sailors,

Island Cup is April 6 and 7 this year on San Juan Island, racing will be at Roche Harbor.  We will be leaving Friday afternoon around 1pm and returning late Sunday evening.  Sailors I have heard want to go: Lisa, John, Jack, Larry, Lexy, Shea B, Jeffrey, Sawyer, Freeman, Ondrea, Miles, Ali, Elsa, Riley, Liam, Elise, Victoria. Let me know if this is incorrect.

Parents: let me know soon if you can drive and how many.

Also there is a German exchange student who is looking for a sailing family for next year.  Her name is Fanny and she is Max's sister. (Max, the exchange student from the Bainbridge Island team).  She apparently is a really good sailor, and is on the German National Sailing Team.  She is 15, from Berlin, and apparently very nice.  Her brother Max is a very nice guy, so im sure she is as well.  I think it would be a lot of fun if we found a home for her here in Bellingham, so let me know if you would be interested or know someone who would be.

Thanks,

Scott Wilson
