You may have also seen a notice regarding Susie an audit by our Mooring Committee the last few Your Rear Commodore weeks. The committee has continued to work extremely hard in effectively managing our mooring capacity and offering slips to members on the wait list. Last year a full audit was conducted in the dry slip storage areas which lead to better utilizing the space we have. This led to the creation of the new back grass storage area as well as the addition of many new 20ft slips in A and B rows. With the recent audit of the wet slips, this information will help in maximizing the size and use of our limited slips as well as giving us more information to assist with the negotiations with DOBOR in our submerged land lease. Continued on page 5 3 JUNIOR SAILING DIRECTOR Jesse Andrews Some good things that have happened due to COVID 19 this summer is the re-invigoration of single-handed sailing and the Friday night Dinghy Master series that Karen Lattanzi and Andy Bates brainstormed. We had about 20 boats out Friday! For the Junior sailing classes, the class limit of 10 students and staggering the sailing classes half an hour apart has helped to keep students and classes separated. I’d like to thank our great instructors this summer. Malia Johnson, Morgan Vodzak, Connor McCrillis and Sam Patton who subbed in the first session. As well, our Junior instructors Zach Severson, Jaxson Hottinger and Sage Andrews. They disinfect the boats at lunch and after Sailing every day as well as doing temperature checks on all the kids prior to class. With the smaller class sizes there’s a better opportunity for more one-on-one coaching.
