Carol and her crew aboard their Nonsuch 30 'Might as Well', will be sailing out of Lynn Harbor, Nahant, MA to, "...wherever the wind takes us."
The 2debs are planning to set out from Rochester Canoe Club to take the Sunfish out on Irondequoit Bay, nice and early, "...before the motorboats throw up wake waves!"
Barry & Sylvia are racing on a Knarr in the Woodies Invitational at St Francis YC, San Francisco.
Tom has planned a double celebration with the Grand Lake Sailing Club in Grove, OK - a day of sailing aboard his Precision P-28 'Morningstar', followed by brats and roast corn to celebrate his June 21 birthday.
Happy 'Sailstice' Birthday, Tom!
Scott & Carol will be sailing Lake Michigan and practising docking their Catalina 25 Tall Rig 'TOE TIME' at other marinas. "We have not done that yet. We have only been sailing for about 4 years."
