The Round the Island race will start tomorrow at 5:30pm. Wind is forecast to be light so for now the race will start at Spit. This way we can get to the back of the island and round to the finish line at Fahan before the turn of the tide. So we should leave the marina no later than 5 so be at the start line for 5:30pm.
A YELLOW mark has been laid at the rear of the island on the approaches to the Swilly estuary, GPS coordinates, 55 03.214N 7 32.482W. Be aware the are white pot markers North and East of the yellow club marker.

Tomorrow is the Melmore Rally. The event is due to start at 9am. If all those who are going to participate can assemble at the start line at 9:30am and then proceed to Spit for a 10am start. Peter can coordinate the race start when boats have assembled.

The Boardwalk has been booked for dining tomorrow night. Anyone who is looking to avail of this opportunity should contact Sammy to let him know as soon as possible to finalise numbers.

The sailing school are sending a few of their past pupils off for power boat training to prepare for the upcoming sailing school courses. The training will prepare the students so they can act as safety boat cover. There are a number of spaces available if anyone is looking for training in the handling of a power boat. Training will take place in Moville. If your interested in this please contact Martin Coyle.
