Ahoy OSCA Fleet!
Last weekend we had a wonderful time at the Ida Lewis Yacht Club in Newport, RI. The sail on Saturday was exciting in 25 knots of breeze. For many of us the wind was on the chin which made for lots of tacks. All in all it was a great sail. We had eight boats show up. On Saturday night we had a party of 17 at the Red Parrot for dinner and merriment. The food was good and the company was even better! Sunday brought favorable conditions and weatherman Matt was spot on that the showers would arrive around 2pm. We did not sail so it gave yours truly a chance to re-attach the rub rail to the boat (see I told you we sailed fast on Saturday!). Sunday afternoon/evening we had ILYC to ourselves. We watch the Patriots beat the Broncos and had a great pizza party. On Monday we attempted to sail home but had to fire up the engines due to lack of headway in 5 knots of breeze. All in all it was a fabulous weekend. A huge tip of the hat to Lee Rabbitt for pulling this together at the last minute. Great job Lee! And a big OSCA Thank You to ILYC for having us at their great location. They could not have been more accommodating.

At the rendezvous we held a membership meeting. One of the big topics of discussion was about ways to increase our membership. We voted and approved the position of Membership Liaison and Matt Clement was nominated to fill that role. The 2013 Flag Officers were nominated and approved. The slate of officers for 2013 is:
