The one word to describe July was HOT, and I hope Mother Nature turns down the furnace for August! Last month was busy with a lot of racing, cruising events, meetings, broken mizzen masts and many other things going on and off the water. August isn’t that different (but probably hotter and less wind!), with some big races (Plantation Light Race, Cape Charles Cup, Yankee Station Series), the OPCYC Summer Party, and all.

 

I won’t steal the Rear Commodores' thunder by reiterating what is planned for the month, it’s in their sections, but we might throw in another Vice Commodore’s Happy Hour since everyone had such a good time at the inaugural event, so stay tuned and don’t be surprised by a pop-up event in the next week or so!

  

By now you are probably thinking, what’s that broken mizzen mast all about? Well, my beloved Luna Blu is again a sloop (hopefully just temporary though) through a bad chain of events that resulted in the mizzen mast to collapse. Fortunately, a new mast has arrived and I am waiting impatiently for it to be rigged and installed. She looks naked…

​

See y’all on the water!
