Dear Pleon Families,

The second week of Pleon quickly sailed by!  

Highlights of the week: 

• The first movie night was a big hit! There was a great turn out to watch The Goonies- an old classic! The optimist sailors kicked off their fundraising by selling candy and freeze pops through out the showing. Thank you to everyone who came and bought candy to help support the new clubhouse.  
• ARRR mate, Pirate day on Tuesday was grrrreat! There were many fun costumes including hooks, peg legs, parrots, and patches! Tuesday was also the Manchester and Sandy Bay Optimist regattas! Pleon dominated at Manchester with 20 out of the 26 optimists. Sandy Bay showed great Pleon pride as well as place very well! Congrats to all the optimist sailors who participated!  
• The first Wednesday Series races begun in some big breeze! Sailors truly showed their abilities fighting through the wind and waves. Many sailors stuck around for the BBQ and enjoyed some delicious hamburgers, dancing, playing rugby, and hanging out! Don't forget about the BBQ's after the Wednesday races! Everyone is welcome.  
• Thursday was the perfect summer sailing day! Not a cloud in the sky and great breeze held all day for some amazing sailing! Thank you to those who took advantage of Sail with or against your parent night! The next one will be July 31^st.
• Today is Rockmore Cup! Kids have been very excited all week about the Rockmore Cup traditions. More to come in next weeks newsletter.

Good luck to everyone sailing at the Newport Regatta this weekend!
Best of luck and sail fast.
