Paddlers,
Hope all is well as we enter the off-season. This was a good year for us as we brought record teams to most races. Hopefully we all get together at our Christmas party; wherever it is, I'll keep you posted.

It ends up that our site is located on County property, not the golf course.... The only stipulation is the tent has to go. Apparently, with the tent it looks like we are a large organization. Technically, the tent was gone through wear, but we were considering replacing it. If we want to keep a new tent the permit fees will go up. So...Nunno found a guy that will make canvas covers for each canoe for about $300 each. These are the style that many clubs use and I'm fine with it. If you have an opinion on it, let me know.

The Bradley is sold and will be picked up next week. I need 6 or 8 people to help load it. The driver will call me a couple of days prior to arriving and it should be in the late afternoon. If you can potentially make it, email me and I'll contact you with details.

We need to shut down the site and prepare it for winter. Meet at the site on Sunday October 23 at 10:30. Spread the word because we need a bunch of us to get things done. Bring trash bags, cutting blades, wire cutters, and some wrenches. We need to remove the tent, disassemble the canoes, and determine repairs. We need someone with a truck to haul the canvas to the dump. Let me know ahead of time so I know who's taking it.

One canoe is going to Morro Bay (Lima). Jill is the contact and will be responsible for logistics and getting the iakos re-varnished. One canoe can stay rigged at the site for awhile if someone is interested in de rigging for winter.

Finally, we will have our final meeting of the year on Tuesday November 8 at 6:30.

If you can think of anything else, let me know. Otherwise we'll see you on that Sunday.

Aloha,

Jeff
