Before the kick-off of the 2013 Fall season, members of the Venice Women's Sailing Squadron took out 5 boats that had been repaired over the summer to test for any water leaks that had been missed and to try out the new sails and spars purchased.  Pictured are: Nancy Muldoon, boat 1, Carolyn Holmes, boat 4, Pam Miller, boat 3, Helen Gokbudak, boat 6, and Sue Carroll, boat 2.  Not pictured on the committee boat were Karen Williams, Wendy Murray and Carol Crane who were at the ready to rescue any boat that might take on too much water.  Luckily, most boats were dry and ready for the start of racing.
