Current Weather Conditions

According to Mike Strahle with the Redding Yacht Club, "If it rains, it just makes it more of an adventure :) "

Imagine hearing only the sounds of the wind in the sails, ropes slapping, and the water hitting the sides of the boat. The wind blowing is our only source of power on the water with a calmness and feeling of complete freedom on the water. The scenery, spectacular! The water clear and clean. Eagle flying above and fish jumping below. What an adventure this will be.

Here is a very nice note Mike wrote to me with thier registration form attached.

"Annie,
Here's the "Regatta Fun Day" registration form with future RFD schedules. Pass it on at will. Cheers to "Annie Hahn" for inspiring the creation of this Adventure :) I hope to head a "cheers" to you at our first RFD BBQ. It's going to be lots of fun...rain or shine. Thanks again for your help. We're all lucky to have organizers like yourself who help to create fun events that people remember for life :)

Good work,
Mike"
