Boat Location:
Newport Nautical or O'Club Parking Lot
Vento Solare will make the voyage from Fall River to the slip at the Newport Navy Marina. The plan is to depart BLM slip D32 at 1pm. We should be tied up at the Navy marina by 4pm. We’ll coordinate having a car at the Navy Marina so we can retrieve cars(s) at Borden Light Marina.
Crew is Bill, Billy, Brooke, Brenda, Luke and possibly Mary.
Navy Base access looks like it will be an issue this year, so let’s plan on the following:
- Brooke, Billy & Luke park at Newport Nautical 12:30
- Bill, Brenda & Mary meet at O’Club parking lot 12:30
- Mary drives everyone to BLM in her car, picking up Billy & Luke
- 1pm arrive BLM and go sailing! (Eric will meet us at BLM)
- Arrive Navy marina ~ 3:30pm
- Brenda drives everyone to Newport Nautical after we arrive
- Brooke or Billy drive Mary & Eric to BLM to retrieve cars.
There is beer in the cooler and the sails are onboard!
Be at Newport Nautical or O'Club Parking Lot - Tue April 24th @ 12:30PM EDT

A great weekend on Block Island with Kathy, Claire & Bill. Great race results and appetizer contest results. We were fortunate to have the blender and the heater on the boat. After a nice weekend on Block Island we had a fast ride back with everyone taking time on the helm.
A few pictures from our family sail on Grandpa's birthday weekend. Unfortunately hurricane Ophelia changed our plans for a weekend on Block Island. We did a Friday evening sail in Newport, grabbed a mooring for cocktails and dinner, then went back to our slip at the Navy marina. We stayed on the boat Friday night and went to the YMCA for Isla's soccer which was moved to the indoor gym.

Kai's note to Grandpa for his birthday weekend.
A great weekend of racing with everybody with Vento Solare finishing 2nd place overall. Crew work was fantastic all three days. Starting from the bow with Roland, mast with Will, pit with Andrew, trimming with Sarah & Mary, and main / tactics with Trevor (Jeff Roy for Around the Island on Friday). We saw the full spectrum of wind from 5 to 22 kts over 3 days.
Congrats to Divided Sky who put up all first place finishes. The rest of the class including J/109 URSA, J/99 Upbeat, Sunfast 3300 Avalon and Express 37 COUCOU all provided the challenge as fierce competitors.
A quick note about the finish recorded as 20:45:56 on the JYC website for the Tuesday race on 8 August. Roland noticed that the recorded time did not correspond to the finish order where we were behind Samba and in front of Grimace. I corresponded with the race committee and the finish time recorded on their scoring sheet is 20:24:56. The finish time will be updated on the JYC website and the results updated. I will send the results when the update is made.
