stormy

some storms this morning but got out onto the water safely before it hit.

hopefully itll stay clear for the afternoon so our racers can get some practice in!

Opti Beginners Learning about Irons

Wind!

One of the first breezy mornings we've had so far this summer, quite exciting for the beginner classes! Lasers practiced hiking, (and a good amount of flipping too) optis learned how to get out of irons, and the guppies explored wickhams beach.

Heat Wave

With temperatures through the roof this week we've been doing everything down at the club to stay cool. 2 new tent-like things have been put up for extra shade on the front deck, and in classes we've been practicing capsizing so we don't completely fry out on the boats.

Thanks to Deborah Carroll and Pat Rochon for helping keep kids and instructors refreshed with iced tea and ice pops!

Tomorrow we're sending 4 opti racers along with instructor/race coach Mark Rickabaugh to teach Shelter Island a thing or two about sailing at their Opti Invitational regatta. Good luck to them!

4th of July Parade

Many Old Cove kids participated in the New Suffolk 4th of July parade today in our float with the theme "Under the Sea." Kids (and instructors!) were dressed as sharks, octopus, lobsters, crabs, fish, snorkelers, jellyfish, and even a ninja sea turtle. We marched through town with a decorated truck, 420, and golf cart while singing Alix Suter's token "Bay Adventurers" song and chanting "OCYC!" and it was all worth the effort because we came in 2nd place in the judging!!

Thanks to everyone for coming out, it was a lot of fun!
