Friday April 11th

Junior Crews,

   Since we had to cancel practice due to weather on Thursday, we will have a practice on Friday the 11th. We will also be having practice on Saturday April 12th; We have a 12-2 shift. We will talk about the possibility of a Monday Practice.

   See you tomorrow!

On the Water

Hi Crew,

   This week we got out on the water. A reminder to all, that the weather is still very cold, so dress appropriately... toques gloves and winter coats are a smart idea.Wear layers, you can always take a layer off.

   Juniors, the weather on Saturday is not looking so hot, so we will not be practicing again until Tuesday. If you would like to help out on Monday with some boat rigging, you are very welcome to come out and help.
