While the day did see record high temperatures, the evening seemed cool and refreshing as we gathered under the pines for a BBQ dinner and music on Saturday, July 24. Many thanks to our own Top Chefs for preparing a wonderful meal of BBQ chicken, pork, and corn on the cob. A special thanks to Ray Fetty and Becky Taylor for providing the music. Check out photos from the evening in the photo album.

We promise the weather will be a bit cooler as we head back to the water for the ever-popular Starburst Raft-Up on Saturday, August 14. We'll raft up together in the Eastern Branch of the Corrotoman to share appetizers and take a swim (if you'd like). Before dusk, we'll break apart and set individual anchors for a peaceful night on the hook. RSVP so we have an idea of how many to expect.

It's not too early to save the date and make plans to attend the Commodore's Ball. We will return to Hampton on January 22, 2011 to catch up with each other following the holidays and start planning for the 2011 sailing season. More information will follow.

We had a great group of 11 boats participate in the Spring Regatta. Be sure to check the RPYC photo album for a nice collection of images. Official race results are available at this link. Many thanks also go to the land crew who grilled hamburgers and hotdogs and managed to have everything packed up before the thunderstorm rolled through.
