– Last Sail for 2020 Season – |
Hello %firstname% %lastname%,
This Friday 23 October the plan is to do the Twenty Hundred Club Around Aquidneck Island Challenge, or deliver the boat to Borden Light Marina. Everyone will meet at the boat at 9am Friday. Weather permitting this will be a spinnaker run heading South under the Newport Bridge, reach across Brenton Reef, reach up the Sakonnet, stop in Tiverton basin on a mooring for lunch, then continue around the top of the island and sail down the bay under spinnaker. If the weather doesn't support circumnavigation, we'll take Vento Solare up the bay to Borden Light Marina. There will be rum and hot cider available after sail.
Please set your availability (Yes, No or Maybe) at this link and I will be automatically notified.
Should we complete the circumnavigation, we'll take sails off the boat at the Navy Marina and I'll motor up the bay to Borden Light Marina on Saturday.

Fantastic weather for a spin run up the bay, followed by dinner at the Boathouse with Lisa, Francis, Pat, Cindy & Bill. The boat is all set for the race Saturday.
