    HMB Details. Email from Dave:
    Hey all, I am sending this to a few of you so hopefully one of you will make it to the SSS meeting tonight. I am sorry to say I won't be there. I will be flying from Charlotte NC to Sacramento. I will be putting two big anchors out from the corners of our T section on the end of our dock toward shore. And out at a 45 degree angle. As in years past if the first boats can start tying up in the middle of the T dock and Stern tie to the dock pointed away from shore and every big boat please drop an anchor and back in or we can take it outward with a dingy. Big raft up as long as the dock doesn't have a huge load either from wind or waves. It will tear the ground tackle out and set the whole thing adrift. The ferry is available to ride into shore on. Please remember to always park the ferry offshore as a falling tide will strand it on the beach and make it unusable. Showers and toilets will be left open on the back of the club for the evening. Fire pit out front. Water and limited electric on dock. Dave Morris and help will fix a basic breakfast of eggs, bacon, toast, cereal and some fruit between 7 and 9 in the club. Donations jar to cover the cost. Our liquor license doesn't allow alcohol from offsite in the building. Bar will be open. Please make reservations if you plan on eating dinner at the club so they can plan accordingly.

    Thanks Dave Morris

    Race Commette did see and follow the drone. It flew by before the start and was fairly large in size. Not being sure of the legal drone flying rules and because the start gun only shoots blanks, the best RC could do was to scare "it" away with a blank blast but before we could reload is vamosed...

    I knew there was a reason I held on to my now obsolete Very Flare pistol...
