OVERBOARD SEMINAR (this Tuesday)
Tuesday August 26, 6:00pm at WYC
Can you say you've done a MOB drill, have you tried a WOB drill? Any competent skipper should answer yes. This is basic stuff, but it's something everyone at our club should know cold. Seminar includes beer and pizza happy hour from 6:00-6:30. Come, have a good time, earn your MOB badge.

CHAMPIONSHIP OF CHAMPIONS
Tonight - 6:00pm at MYC
Winds are looking great, sun is shining, temps are warm. Put the putt putt on the boat and motor over the MYC to watch the racing and have a great dinner ($12 adults) on MYC Island after the racing. Given today's weather conditions this event has been upgraded to triple kitchen pass date points if you make it a date night.


BURTON CUP - MS CUP
This is annual reminder to stay out of the way of MYC boats starting before the WYC start of the Burton Cup. If Wayzata Bay is the first mark, it can get crowded at Spirit Point, so mind your course. 

Bert and Carmella are planning to sell a selection of espresso, latte, cappuccino, and black coffee before the race to help people wake up. The Joe is free, but you are "encouraged" to make a donation to Blake's MS Cup. I suspect Bert will also offer wind and rules advice for a proper donation. Look for them on the WYC patio.

LEECH LAKE REGATTA
Congratulations to Capri 25 Persistence for their apparent victory in the Leech Lake Regatta. Online results are wacked, but I have it on good authority Steve did good. Great regatta, make an effort to go there next year...
