Virtual Racing & Dock Time
PRYC activities on Sat. May 23 had a small, but enthusiastic group out tearing up the cans over in the Mediterranean, one-design racing on J/70s first, then a runs on some twitchy Flyers. Lots of fun -definitely different- and we'll look at doing it again soon. Afterwards, we Zoomed over to some dockside appies and beverages and to catch up with some other members.
Thanks again to Vern! A fun, thinking outside the box, afternoon.

Friday night Games Nights
Winter 2020 began with a new PRYC activity, with the 3rd Friday of each month being a night of people breaking out some board/multi player games to share down at the Marina Clubhouse. They were a hit with all attending, and a great chance to chat about the past/coming seasons adventures. If you haven't yet, come out and join in for the next one! |
