Great Onepoto Raft Race: 17 February

Hello all,

The date and time for the raft race has been set: 12 noon at Onepoto Bay on Sunday 17 February.

Apparently the TBay land Scouts actually train for this event, so we'll have to take a bit of time out to practice lashings and raft construction.  If anyone has a rubber tube at home and wouldn't mind donating it to the cause, please bring it around.

Past years have been heaps of fun, check the photo gallery for pictures!

Cheers,
R

Joint sailing day confirmed for tomorrow

Hello all,

I have confirmed with Britannia that we'll be sailing with them tomorrow (Sunday) beginning at 1pm.

If you are wanting to participate, please be at the Britannia Scout den at Evans Bay by around 1 to help rig boats.  No need for a lifejacket as we can use theirs.

The forecast is looking reasonable with easterly winds of about 5 or 6 knots, temperature around 18, and some good sun.

Hard to say when we'll wrap up, but off the water by 4-430 is a reasonable guess.

See you there!
