Hello everyone! It is only the beginning of February and it is starting to feel like spring! The Chicago area has been experiencing some odd temperatures in the 40s and 50s for the past couple of days. It’s weird to think last year (on February 1st and 2nd) I had two snow days in a row because of 21 inches of snow. Hopefully this means the spring sailing season is approaching soon!
Next weekend, I will be attending the Winter Inland in Hartland, Wisconsin. The Inland Lake Yachting Association hosts this event every year to hold fleet meetings and prepare for a very busy summer season. I will be attending the Club 420 meeting. Special guest, Dave Perry, will be speaking, so I’m looking forward to that as well.
Kelly and I are very excited for our next regatta- Midwinters in Jensen Beach, Florida during Presidents Day weekend.
Today, I was announced as a member of the Chicago Yacht Club Junior Board for 2012. I’m very excited to participate in volunteering on the board.

Upcoming Events
ILYA Winter Inland- Feb 10th
Club 420 Midwinters –Feb 20th
