Thanks to everyone who came out in the wintery cold to help chart the course for the fleet in 2026! Big thanks also to our Fleet Chef Preston Senior for cooking up some great gumbo (with and without shrimp) and to everyone who brought some apps and dessert. Thanks also to the folks who stepped up this year to help with regattas (Nikki, Darby, Arthur, Rob V, and Thomas) as well as our stalwart Treasurer Eric Reinke for tracking dues, keeping the invitationals in budget and managing tax filings!
The fleet is in great shape and we have had a great year!
