Hello All!
I propose that we gather on Sunday morning Oct. 9th at 11:00 AM on the dock for what should be a lovely sail out to the South, and towards the horizon. The forecast is for Sunny Skies, Calm Seas, and a West Wind 15-20. The Sun will be on our beam keeping us warm. (Predicted temps in the Low 60’s)
Low tide is at 14:00 (2:00) so we should be home at 4:30-5:00. Purple is the color of the day for the ships and ourselves if you so desire. Look forward to seeing you then. BobT

The Spirit Rider events will be curtailed this year to the Memorial Mass being held at the Ocean Club at 9:30 am Sunday 9/11/2022.
There will NOT be a Captains Dinner (Friday) or Awards Dinner (Saturday). However, in keeping with the tradition of The Spirit Rider Regatta, the following has been proposed to and accepted by Noreen Costello the event sponsor:

The PLYC fleet will leave Pt Lookout at 09:00 on Sunday 9/11. We will muster with ships Dressed & circle in front of the surf Club during the Paddle Out portion of the Event. That is scheduled to take place at 10:30.

The fleet will then proceed to the ER buoy, where we commence a race back to the JI/1&2.
High Tide is at 08:50 & Low Tide is at 15:00.

A suggested entrance donation of $50 per vessel payable to PLYC will be forwarded in it’s entirety to the O’Keefe Foundation Scholarship fund.
