The sun is out, the kids are playing tag on the lawn and the birds are singing.

Get your jib tensioned correctly so you can head up better and your mast doesn’t flop around. Just pull the halyard block to the back line. Watch this short tutorial on 420 Jib Tension https://t.co/vmhswRsE1P

It looks like a few members have been trying to book the kayaks and paddleboards online. We just wanted to remind everyone the rental resources are currently closed due to COVID-19. We will let all members know when these restrictions are lifted.
We're taking guesses - do you think the Cherry Blossom Tree will have blossoms for Opening Day on Saturday?
We can't celebrate together, but we'll be posting all week about RVYC Opening Day and sharing a video from our 125th Opening Day on Saturday.

As we have closed our Outstations in response to The Islands Trust Council, we remind all members to refrain from travelling to remote locations during this time.
The remote coastal community of Bella Bella, B.C., home to roughly 1,400 people, has little capacity to take care of its own residents with just one ventilator and only two doctors.
