OSCA Updates May 2013
  
Ahoy OSCA Fleet!

It's hard to believe this weekend is Memorial Day.  Our sails are rigged an we are ready to go!  Hopefully your preparations are going well.

In April we had two fun events.  First, four of us, Debbie & John Greenwood, David Arnold and yours truly picked up trash along the Bristol shore as part of Save the Bay's Earth Day Cleanup.  I also managed to pick up some poison ivy but it was all worth it.  The next afternoon was our Wine & Cheese Event at QDNYC.  We had a very interesting speaker, Richard Fernie, who told us about his trip to South America and sailing adventure in the area and around Cape Horn.  Quite an experience!  A big THANK YOU to Bob Stanich for hosting and to Rear Commodore Lee Rabbitt for making the arrangements.

BYOE Rendezvous at the North Kingstown Town Beach
 This is our first time to the town beach just south of the Wickford Harbor break water.  Here are the details:
Date: June 29 - 30
Rate: Free (anchorage)
The plan is to anchor off of Poplar point, in the vicinity of the Wickford Town Beach on Saturday night. The best grounds are closer to the north end of the cove. The bottom is rocky in this area, so stay well off the beach. The safest spots to anchor are where the water transitions from 7-9 feet to 15-17 feet, favoring the north end of the cove, just to the south of the jetty and keeping well away from the flashing green (Fl G 6s 40ft 6MI "1".) In the cove you can pull your dinghy onto the beach, to the north of the designated swim area. If you stay well outside the marked swimming area you will also avoid the very large rock, that is barely submerged at high tide.
A cookout on the beach would be neat or a jaunt to Duffy's would be fun.  Anyway this is meant to be very low keyed.

Life is Good!  See ya on the water!
