We still need two volunteers – one to pull the 9-boat trailer and
other to pull Whaler No. 2.

VYBA will have two boats in the Christmas
Boat Parade. Anyone willing to help decorate should contact Celeste Patete or

Our theme is Charlie Brown’s “Peanuts” and we already have a Snoopy inflatable
available, but if anyone has extra lights, please let us know soonest.

MISCELLANEOUS
1.
High school sailors must keep our 420 away from the racks.
Failure to do so will result in your Laser being moved to rack No. 8 to let you
see what it is like to deal with those 420’s.
2.
Green Fleet sailor Sara Frajerman, who
also takes American Tae Kwon Do, captured first place in sparring at a major
match in
3.
Policy revived: Sailors who leave their clothes adrift or who
fail to put up their gear (blades, spars, etc.) or who forget to bring their
life jackets will have to fill a small bucket with weeds from the shell pit. A
second offense will mean filling a bigger bucket, and so on.
4.
Tom Lawlor will be asking parents to assist in keeping track of
our Opti dollies, especially since we lost one at the River Romp Regatta.
As an aside about that regatta, general consensus was that there was more wind
and less current than expected.
