Hello Everyone! I know there are still some people searching for crew for the NAs. The best suggestion I have is to let it be known! If you are looking for crew respond to this blog.. or if you are looking for a crew job. You can than exchange information and get set up for the regatta.

I cant wait to sail this season. I am graduating from SUNY ESF in just a few weeks now. I cant believe it! The new change is exciting but I have very spolied with being able to spend summer on Sodus Bay for the past 22 years of my life. Becoming a sailing instructor is one of the best things I've ever done and will miss coaching this summer. I'm looking re forward to the Lightning NAs in Sodus this summer, I will certainly be attending. As of now I'm looking forward to sailing Pymatuning with either Jed or Bob or maybe both! So thats whats on my mind now as I sit here in Sodus on a Tuesday Night... very relaxing!
