Buzzard's Bay Blast Mini Cruise/NEMA Picnic: June 23-24
The Buzzard's Bay Blast (BBB) is coinciding with the NEMA Picnic (4PM
through the evening) and is also a cruise destination for those who do not want
to race but would like to come join the fun. It will be based at the Gleason
house at 1 Seahorse Lane in Wareham. Please RSVP.
The racing will be very low key with the start and finish being Bird Island
Light and the gong off Marion Harbor. Sat morning start is 1100 and Sunday
morning is 1000. Upon finish you should take your time on your GPS and the time
of the next boat behind you. We will figure out the places during the picnic to
follow. The courses will be determined Sat morning based on wind direction,
strength and forecast. Expect a 2-4 hour race. We expect to monitor VHF
channel 73 and cell phones. Please send in your cell phone number!

North Shore Rally/Barbeque: July 14
The event this year has three main parts:
1. Arrive at the Grossbarts' at noon for a daysail on Pooka and possibly
Triad.
2. Come party, eat, and, drink at 3:00. NEMA will provide hamburgers, hot
dogs, and chicken and a grill and beverages. Bring side dishes and desserts.
3. If you come by boat you will be well positioned for the CYC MIDSUMMER
REGATTA on Sunday the 15th right around the corner.
We will provide moorings, good holding ground, and limited dinghy service
and a float for pick-up and drop-offs. This has always been our most popular
event by far and I think the new format will work especially well. Spouses
and kids are welcome, bring your bathing suit and water toys. You can swim
off the float or beach comb.
Please let us know if you plan to attend, how many people, and if you are
coming by boat or car.
