What a great opening day it was for our sailing season. It doesn’t get any better than that, but weather is weather and while the first Saturday of April was great, the second Saturday was cold and windy, and the third Saturday was misty with moderate winds. I can promise you that we have no control over the weather so let’s take advantage of the good days and then maybe the real rotten days won’t seem so bad.

We will be following our race schedule every weekend and I will try and get an email out every week announcing the boat we will be sailing on Saturday. If I forget, just follow the schedule that was sent to everyone earlier this year. This schedule also appears on our web page: http://www.lakesidemsc.org/schedule/schedule.html

The good weather on April 3rd brought down some potential club members that hope to sail Solings with us in the future. We hope to see them in the future or the next time we sail Solings. The best way to help a club grow is to be consistent. By that I mean sailing at the same location, every Saturday and making our selves available to talk to people about our hobby (sailing, building, hi-tech boats, vintage boats, etc.). That’s the way the LakeSide club has grown and will continue to grow.

Our sailing season is underway now and we hope to see more boats on the water as the weather improves.
