This week, 11 Prodigy sailors showed up, despite Tropical Storm Erin
sitting on our doorstep. The skies parted, and we had 3 races in
planing conditions. To be honest, many of us had problems, since we
don't get much time on the water in windy conditions. We're also still
trying to figure out where the break-even point is when sailing upwind
with/without the centerboard. Trophies includes bean dip, chili/cheese
dip, guacamole, and chips.
Next week is meat night...Bring your meat! We should know by Sunday
whether we'll have to evacuate for hurricane Dean, which is forcasted
to reach the mainland on Wednesday.
Despite an entry fee of $10/month for all the beer, soft drinks, and
wine you care for, plus trophies, we're running a big surplus.
(Probably due to sales on 30-packs of Miller High-Life and Busch all
summer.) One propasal was to use some of the $$$ for a party on
trailer packing day for Nationals.
