PSU Sailing: No Practice Wednesday and Sheriff Contact Info

We're not going to be having practice tomorrow since no officers will be available to come down.  We'll be out on Friday though.

On a different note, we were contacted by the Sheriff's office on the Willamette yesterday.  They are making a concentrated effort to crack down on reckless powerboaters around Willamette Park and want to make sure that we have a safe area to sail. 

If anyone has any problems with powerboaters (speeding, weaving through boats, kicking up huge wake, not obeying right of way, collision, etc.) get a description of the boat and call the Willamette River Sheriff's office at 503-988-6788 and they will respond.

PSU Sailing: Fall Intersectional Picks

We need to pick which out-of-district regattas we want to attend this fall.  You can find the list here: http://www.collegesailing.org/2007FallScheduleTentative.pdf
We are eligible to sail in regattas that offer spots to our district, NWICSA. 

In the past we've attended the North-South intersectional hosted by UC Santa Barbara November 10th and 11th, Rose Bowl hosted by USC January 5th and 6th.  Last year we sent a team to Kathryn Hammond hosted by U Texas as well. 

I'd like to go to Santa Barabara and LA, but we can look at a third option and we should pick some alternates in case we can't get our first choices.

Look at the schedule and we'll talk about it at practice.  We need to get our picks in to our Intersectional Coordinator by August 1st.

P.S.  Please make sure all inspection ports and drain plugs are tightened securely and have a good seal whenever you put a boat in the water.  Flotation is important.
