The Kiteboarding Regatta has been re-scheduled for THIS SATURDAY, October 4th!  Looks like it will be good wind starting at 8 until about 2 or 3 PM. 

In honor of the nickname, the RIB Regatta, we will be having Ribs, chicken, mac-n-cheese, baked potato casserole and of course, KARBACH beer!!!

Consider coming down to watch the action!  There will be freestyle events and course racing!

Everything you need to know!

So happy to see more than TWICE as many skipper's signed up for this regatta over last year!!!  I did notice Greg Casamayor was racing?!?  Does he meet the age requirements?

Hey Everyone!  You can now buy your TRW event pass online.  Check out the "Events" area on the front page of the website or click on "Racing Calendar/ Events" on the left side of the screen!

Let me know if you are not receiving the newsletter but would like to!

Lots of good info in this issue!!

Looks like the rain might be moving to Sunday so we could have ourselves a kite regatta on Saturday!  We will keep you posted!

You have until midnight tonight to avoid the late fee!  Sign up!

It's official!  Karbach Brewing Co. has signed on to donate 8 cases of beer for the event!   Thanks Karbach!!

(Bee, now I know you'll be there because there will be free Weisse Versa!)

Unfortunately, I only speak as a regatta organizer and not as a boat owner.  It's one-sided argument from my side but Greg had a good point - I'm usually right.   

Good on ya HYC.  It's a common courtesy to sign up for a regatta in a reasonable amount of time prior to the event.  If you don't bother to do it, then you don't get to race.  It probably won't help but I like the message.

Sign up in the next week to avoid a late fee! 

After February 10, the cost will increase.

I know a lot of you aren't kiteboarders but, registration is up and the NOR is posted for this year's GBCA RIB Regatta!

The date is March 22, 2014 and if you missed it last year, let me tell you - you won't want to make the same mistake twice.  It is a lot of fun to watch and even more fun to volunteer!!!

We will need dinghy's or jet ski's for the day if any GBCA members have them to donate.  If there is water in the Bay (which there wasn't last year), we could even use some motor boats - as long as they can be ramp launched off of the dyke.

Looking forward to seeing all of you out there!

I got my calendar yesterday!  Thank you so much GBCA!  It's really nice and the photos are amazing and it looks really good on my wall.

And, as a new member, you are officially added to the mailing list for The Cannon so you'll receive them from here on out.  Membership card - coming soon!

Registration is now open for the GBCA Commodore's Ball!
