End of Season Wrap-up

Hi Everyone

Thanks for everyone coming out to Aim and Game for the end-of-season party. It was an amazing time with all the sailors. 

Huge thanks to Karen and Lorena for planning the end of season party and Lorena for organizing the catering! Thank you also to all of the parents who chipped in to make it happen. And of course, thank you to parents and sailors for the cards!

The NW district is still finalizing the spring regatta schedule and we will update the website and send out an email once we know more.  Tentative dates for the spring season are from the start of March to the middle of May. We are hosting a team race regatta April 20/21. 

Thanks to everyone for a great fall season,

Anna Morrow

and

Cooper Snell

Re: Sailing End-of-Season Party

Hi everyone,

Reminder that we have the Sailing team end-of-season party tomorrow, Friday Dec. 1st, at Aim and Game in Ferndale from 6:00pm-9:00pm!

I wanted to clarify again that it is the Aim and Game in Ferndale, at the address 5610 Barrett Road. I apologize I sent out the address for the wrong Aim and Game in my original email.

We will have dinner, trivia, and gel blaster games available. Sailors, please dress accordingly with clothes you can get dirty if you are planning on doing the gel blaster thing.

Thank you to those that have responded to my previous email with an RSVP! If you haven't yet, please RSVP on the Google Calendar event, or email us and let us know if you / your sailor can make it.

Thanks again to Lorena and Karen for organizing! Please let us know if you have any questions. We look forward to seeing you all tomorrow at Ferndale Aim and Game!

Best,

Anna

Hi everyone,

Apologies, I sent the wrong Aim and Game address! There is one in Lynden and Ferndale. 

We will be meeting at the Aim and Game in Ferndale, not Lynden. The address is 5610 Barrett Rd, Ferndale WA.

Also, the event space is rented starting at 6:00pm but sailors are encouraged to arrive early if possible in order to maximize our time there!

Please let us know if you have any more questions.

We hope to see you at the Ferndale Aim and Game at 6:00pm on Friday!

Good morning everyone,

I am excited to share that we have our sailing team end-of-season party this Friday, December 1st, from 6pm-9pm at Aim and Game!

We will have dinner starting at 6pm, which will be followed by trivia and then an hour-long gel blaster game. Gel blasters are a lot milder than paintball but they can still stain, so I would recommend sailors bring clothes that they are okay with getting messy. If sailors could bring around $10-15 per sailor to help cover the costs of the game etc., that would be much appreciated but is of course not required if the cost is a barrier.

Aim and Game is located at 211 Grover St, Lynden, WA 98264. It's about 15 minutes north of downtown Bellingham.

Thank you so much to parents Lorena and Karen for planning this event. They are cc'd on this email.

Thank you as well as our team captains Katy, Willow, and August!

Please let us know if you have any questions or concerns and we'll see you on Friday!

Best,

Tomorrow's Scrimmage!

Good evening,

We are excited to see everyone at the scrimmage tomorrow against Oak Harbor! 

We have enough boats that each pair will be able to sail the whole time with a lunch break in the middle. This is different from our usual half on/ half off rotation but is similar to summer racing. Coaches will be on the water.

Here is the planned schedule:

10am Report time at Zuanich dock

11am First start

Lunch break sometime between 11am and 2pm (wind dependent)

2:30pm no starts after

3:00pm Done

The forecast is looking like lovely sunshine but the wind might die on us, so be ready for the possibility of ending early.

Please let me know if you have any questions. 

See you at 10am at Zuanich!

Best,

Anna
