Congrats to Lily and Robyn!

Sailors, Parents, Alumni and Friends,

I am very excited to announce that both Lily Grimshaw and Robyn Lesh, past Sehome High School sailors, have each qualified for the College Sailing ICSA Singlehanded National Championships.  Robyn and Lily and 16 other girls from around the country will race against each other in Newport Rhode Island November 8-10.  Lily Grimshaw, a senior sailing for the University of Washington, qualified by winning the Northwest Singlehanded District Championship a few weeks ago in Bellingham.  Robyn Lesh, a sophomore sailing for MIT, qualified this past weekend by placing 6th in the New England District Championships in Boston. Both are studying engineering. Good luck to both of them at Nationals!!

Car Wash Saturday

Team,

Our fundraiser is this Saturday, Oct. 5th and will be a car wash at The Public Market on Cornwall (1530 Cornwall) from 11:00am-4:00pm.   Everyone please bring sponges, wash clothes squeegies, soap, buckets, etc.  We will be doing the fundraiser rain or shine, so come prepared for either.  Fundraising events are an important and mandatory part of being on the sailing team. We need these funds to be able to go to regattas!  Parents are encouraged to come as well.  And be sure to pass on to friends and family to come by and have their cars washed.

See you Saturday,

This weekend

A couple things: 

1.  This weekend we need one more driver in order to get everyone down there.  Please let me know if you can drive soon.  Christine, Sawyers mom, has offered to drive down Saturday if someone could pick up a load on Sunday.  So far we have Steve, Andrea, Alan, Bill and myself driving.

2.  Tomorrow, Friday, we are meeting at 4pm at the zuanich point dock to load two boats.  See you then.

Octoberfest this Weekend

This weekend is Octoberfest.  We have almost everyone going this weekend: Liam H, Elise, Mallory, Sophia, Nick, Shea, Courtney, Liam M, Benj, Chase, Ali, Zach, Ben, Lexy, Riley, Will, Jack, Ondrea, Jeffrey, Ian (Sat), Maia, Jacob, Johnny, Sawyer.

I will assume everyone wants to sail in the FJ fleet unless you tell me otherwise.  Lasers are also an option.

We will be leaving early Saturday morning and returning Sunday evening.  Meet at the Sehome Haggens parking lot at 7:00am Saturday morning. We will likely return to Bellingham around 7pm Sunday evening. The cost for the weekend is $30 and additional meals are available for family members to purchase ($5 for lunch and $10 for dinner). You can bring cash or check for the entry fee.  Checks made out to SAIL SAND POINT. The cost includes lunches both days and dinner Saturday night.  We will be staying the night down in Seattle, at Liams Grandpas house. Bring sleeping bag, pillow and pad.  Also bring some cash for stopping at Safeway on Sunday morning for breakfast.  And, attached is a registration form and waiver for the regatta.  It would be very helpful if everyone filled this out and brought it with you saturday morning.  

PARENT: We will need parents to drive, so let me know if you can, and how many kids could fit in your car. Parents are welcome to sleep with the team also, but it may mean sleeping on the floor as well.

We could use some help with food.  We are providing lunches for the sailors each day, plus dinner Saturday night.  If you can help with food in anyway, such as shopping for the food, preparing the food, or serving the food, please let me know and I will give you a job.

Thanks,
