Ahoy CHESSS Mates!

 
We had two boats race CHESSS in the Annapolis to St. Mary's Governor's Cup on August 1st.  I your CHESSS Commodore and my second hand Steve Baiere-Andeson aka ACE  took 1st.  It was a great race and I am very spoiled now with two races that have finished for me before dawn, and this one we finished at 2:18 AM in my CS 30 and was a time record for me and the boat and shorthanded at that!  John Benson entered his Kolohe Anakalia Beneteau 36.7 with two St. Mary's sailing team alumni.   You can see a replay by selecting the two boats on the tracker at http://kws.kattack.com/WPlayer/WPosDisplay.aspx?FeedID=1342 .
 
Looking towards the end of summer, a number of races are open for registration for August and beyond.  They are listed on the CHESSS home page, CHESSS Calendar and below.  We hope you will consider signing up.  
 
I am still looking for a Race Committee Volunteer for the Nov. 1st Last Hurrah.  Please consider supporting the club in performing RC duties.  Any day on the water is a good day, and being RC is as fun as you make it!  It beats working in the office, too.
