Sailor Gathering this Wednesday |
| Save this Wednesday evening to join other sailors at Spagnoula's for some camaraderie and informal sailing talk. We'll start at 7. Spags has their usual Wednesday pasta special as well as other regular menu selections - or just order some liquid refreshment. Note: this gathering is usually the second Wednesday, but is being held this Wednesday to help avoid congested calendars nearer the holidays.
There will be a race strategy-tactics situation that should prompt some discussion - and there may also be a race rules quiz. We hope you can make it.
Spagnoula's is on the north side of Grand River between Okemos and Williamston. |
