2008  GYC Ladies Sailing Night

We had a great time at the first Ladies Sailing Night last Thursday, July 10.  It worked out well to meet on “D” dock and be able to sail just north of the slips for a while as the participants got comfortable on unfamiliar boats (then later we headed out past Chaffinch Island). Sailing in that part of the river is not possible at low tide, so we’re revising the schedule accordingly:  Ladies’ Sailing Nights will now be held every other week – so the next planned night is July 24, then August 7, with a final session on August  21.  What we lose in quantity wiht this revised plan will be more than offset by the
high quality of the nights!

If you missed last Thursday you missed a spectacularly beautiful evening on the water, and a fun informal après sail get together on “D” dock.  Don’t miss the boat(s) on our remaining dates.


2008  GYC Ladies Sailing Night – Revised Schedule

When
Every other Thursday Evening beginning Thursday July 10 through August 21, from 6:30 PM until dark – meet on “D” dock
