In addition,cruising fleet has usually had an informal barbecue late on the afternoon or evening of July 4th. Hope we can do it again.

To All -

An awesome Sunday of racing today! Wow. After weeks of the doldrums, at last we had a steady southerly piping up to 18 mph in gusts. We did the 5-mile #13 course in about an hour, and that’s cookin’! Warm, wet, and wild. Congrats to Division #3 boats, and Zoom from Shattemuc, for turning out to enjoy this wonderful day of sailing.

While I’ve got the floor, this coming weekend is shaping up (weather-wise) to be perfect for the Guy Moulton 4th of July Regatta. To begin the weekend, many cruising boats are heading for Bowline Point Thursday evening (high tide 4 pm), for the legendary Haverstraw fireworks. Friday night are the Nyack Fireworks to watch from your NBC mooring, or you can motor down and toss out an anchor off of Memorial Park, or you can join a crowd of folk on the NBC pier (bring your own chairs). So many choices. If the weather forecast is right, you can’t go wrong with what you do this weekend,

Saturday and Sunday is the 4th of July Regatta. The Guy Moulton Trophy generally goes to the winner of the largest fleet. Goodness – based on Wednesdays, why can’t we get 10 -12 non-spinnaker boats to come out for a super weekend of three races with a fun party Saturday night? Think about it –there’s always room for new experiences at NBC.

See you on the water.
