– Free Safety Seminar & Bowling This Week – |
Hello %firstname% %lastname%,
Two opportunities this Saturday – Learn the Socialize!
I wanted to pass on to the Vento Solare crew information about two upcoming events this coming Saturday 4 March. Coasters Harbor Navy YC is holding its annual bowling party at the Liberty Center bowling alley on base. There is also a safe boating rules of the road presentation that I encourage everyone to attend. It is intended for both power and sail boaters. The Better Bay Alliance is making a concerted effort to reach out to as many boaters across Narragansett Bay to provide this free safety seminar. Below are details with online registration links.
No need to send me an response unless you need help getting on base. I’ll get notified automatically when you register using the links below. Attend just one or register for both.

Thank you for a great time. That hour penelty seems steep. If you look at yellow brick there were a few other boats in our class that were just inside that south east dot. Not sure how picky they were being.
Either way great work by everyone. Enjoy the party.
Bill went to the protest hearing about our sailing in the exclusion zone to fix the spinnaker. The results of the protest was the RC added 1 hour to our corrected time. This put us in 2nd place for the youth entries. We would have had 1st in youth if not for this. Hope to see you all at the awards ceremony!
