This weekend is our very first UVA Wahoo Scrimage! So get pumped and try and come out to see it!! It should be a great time.
 
We had a fantastic first racing practice this past Friday, August 28th . We're really excited for all our new talent! And it turned out to be a beautiful day for our social Saturday Lake Day. It was great to see all the interest in learning how to sail and having everyone enjoy being out on the water.  
 
Come to our interest meeting, Thursday August 27th, at 7:30 pm in Clark 101!  Clark is the same building as the Brown Science and Engineering Library.  It is the first building on the right, after you cross the McCormick road bridge going towards the chapel.

Get ready for the Activities Fair, Monday August 24th, from 11am - 4pm.  Look for the multicolored sail on the South Lawn.

August 19 - Navy ROTC Lakeday.  Success!  We taught the new Navy ROTC 4th Class how to sail, and there was even a little wind for them to practice with.  Capsize recovery drills were the highlight, as everyone got to get wet and cool off.  Some of us even got to practice our Johnboat-assisted capsize recoveries.  The storm rolled in around 3:45, scaring everyone off the water and home.  See ya next year ROTC!!



Great Season Guys!!
