Hello Lime Fleet Families!!

Practice Sunday 10/9/16; Noon-4pm

MARATHON MAYHEM:  MARATHON CLOSURES: Lake Shore Drive will remain open all of Sunday, so everyone will be able to access the club that way. In terms of getting on to Lake Shore Drive, all parts of the course north of North Avenue will be closed starting at 7am, but open again at 11am.

WEATHER

Fall might really arrive this weekend (high temp of 60?), sailors should come prepared with a fleece, or insulating layer (not cotton!) and windbreaker layer. Don't forget a change of clothes in the event your sailor gets wet.
