At 11:30 Saturday morning we will get in the mood for the Luau with a distance race.
Come on out and have some fun! Somebody on your boat will need a bathing suit and the ability to swim in order to sail the course. ;) We will put some ribbons on a tree on Luau Island. You will need to send a crew member to Luau Island and retrieve a ribbon before you finish the race.
Drag a dinghy, sail up close with a swing keel, swim, no motoring. Use your throwable PFD to retrieve the crew with your ribbon? A PFD for the swimmer is highly recommended.
No, we will not put the ribbons on the North side where the rocks will get everyone. They will be on the other end of the island where the slop is more forgiving.
No diving off boats.
Aw, a taste of Luau Island!
Skippers meeting at 11:30 - race to start shortly afterwards. Course will be decided depending on the winds Saturday.
Congratulations to Deanna and Patty who kick butt yesterday in the race! They sailed well, and had the swimming part nailed, too. No other boat was in sight when they finished. :)
