Overheard at the ACSC BBQ!
"This was the Best morning of my lifeee!!!"
-ENTHUSIASTIC 11-YR OLD TO HER MOM.
Well that's quite the ringing endorsement. The day started out with low tides and barely a hint of a zephyr to fill the sails. But by mid afternoon the water and the winds were rising, and when the hickory flavored bbq smoke cleared it was smiles all around. Pretty busy day at the site, boy scouts were canoeing, EBPR had volunteers out, the fisher folk were angling (is that even a word?) and our neighbors at Okalani were paddling their out riggers. Its always fun to see people out enjoying the bay! More Photos here.
Special thanks to all our volunteers that helped by captaining a boat, and helping introduce our neighbors (some from as far as Lodi?!) to our wonderful sport. Safety boats were at the ready as Sail Cubes, CFJ's and a talented laser out there zipping along.

Youth Scholarships For Summer CampS
Sailing is for everyone.
A huge part of fulfilling our goal is providing youth scholarships for our camps. All funds from our scholarship fundraisers go directly to helping local families in need! If you can give, please do. The smile on a youngster's face as they learn a new skill is priceless.
On the same token, if you need help paying for classes, please apply. The smile on our bookkeeper's face when she sees the positive impact to a child, that's pretty priceless too!
