Tuesday Race Series 1 will commence on Tuesday, May 28. That is one week later than originally scheduled. In other words, the first scheduled Tuesday race has been canceled. With the late spring, many boats have yet to be launched onto White Bear Lake. That includes the judges boat. So we are delaying Tuesday sail racing by one week. The Board of Directors will consider a make-up date at its next meeting.
Saturday's race schedule stays the same. The Mayhem Regatta will go forward on Saturday, May 25th @ 12:00 Noon with Skippers Meeting @ 10:30AM. Sunday, May 26th is the third Regatta race again @Noon. The first club sponsored social follows after that race at the Witthaus residence. Saturday Series 1 will begin the following Saturday, June 1.
All other race start times remain as scheduled. Tuesday evenings at 7:00 PM; Saturdays @ 12:30 PM with Skippers Meeting at 11:00 AM.

2013 BBYRA membership cards are now available to those members who would like one made for them. The price for each card is $4. A sample card is shown below. Each card is double sided. On the reverse is a non-functioning magnetic strip, along with a QR code linked with bbyra.com.
We are selling the cards for the cost of materials. Each one is custom made with the member's name. It looks and feels like a regular ID card or credit card. If you would like one made for you, send me an email with your address. Or send me a check for $4. I will make your card and send it to you.

Terrific Ice-Breaker
Rob and Lori Wood kicked (pork) butt providing food for the 2013 Ice-Breaker at Cedric's Landing. The apple slaw and spicy potato salad spiked with mustard and horseradish were a great accompaniment to succulent pulled pork. The perfect pork end product gave no hint of the work involved in rubbing it up and smoking it with oak wood, pulling it apart and chopping it so it could be stacked high on a bakery roll. The Woods' neighborhood must have smelled terrific with the pork butt smoking away for hours in their backyard smoker!
Karen Alness, Executive Officer of the White Bear Yacht Club Sailing Division, provided a well delivered overview of her own personal history with sailing boats on the lake. Her experience began using leaky small-craft and graduated over time to using the modern boats of today. She talked about WBYC plans for the coming summer, with Interlake Regatta races planned for the first week of August. Volunteers are needed to help with tasks required to have a successful regatta week of activities. Contact Karen if you want to be part of this exciting event.
Jason Brown brought us up to date with redesign and access issues involving the marina waterfront over the coming months. Parking access should be okay due to temporary paving and striping. The boat landing north side of the VFW will be made more workable and accessible for transferring boats into and out of the water. Plans are to update the waterfront with a boardwalk. Eventually, existing docks will be updated and replaced in a new pattern with better dock security, as well.
Plans remain in place, said Jason, to construct a community room or center to accommodate future BBYRA social events, among other things.
Here are some photos from our successful 2013 Ice-Breaker. Next up: Sailing education sessions begin with WINCH's April 9th and Rules & Tactics at Rudy's Red Eye Grill on Tuesday, April 30. See you there!
