COMMODORE'S COMMENTS
Ok fine, we haven't sent out an e-blaster since August. Fortunately everyone seems to get along just fine on their own and the J22 Districts, the U-Gotta, the Star of the North, the Fall Regatta, and this weekend's Richardson Cup have gone off without a hitch thus far. Thank you to everyone who participates in our fall regattas, and a special thanks to all the tireless organizers who are the backbone of our sailing community.  The final races of the season and the banquet are just around the corner, so hang on for the big end of the season push.
