Little Things Matter?

Little things matter. How many times have you set out onto the ice and sometime during the day remembered that you forgot to put your bobstay in? I will admit to doing this more than a few, including an entire day of races which included a long trip over and back through crappy ice. Did my boat break in half? No, but I consider myself lucky. I have since stored the bobstay with the rest of my stays so that I don’t forget. I know some people who have physically attached it to the boat with a wire tether. And I’m sure that there are any number of tricks others are using to help them remember. How do you remember your bobstay? Share in the comment section below.

Now for the shameless membership pitch… Like the bobstay, you might not immediately know and remember that your 2021 membership dues are and even go a full season without paying up. Will an individual or a few nonpaying members break the back of the NEIYA? Probably not, but you will want us to be there when you are ready to join in for a race, cruise, or scheduled event.

So pay up. Do it NOW so you do not forget. There are links right below. Please note you are not required to use PayPal as your payment method click the appropriate button below, click continue then click “Pay with Debit or Credit Card” and use the card of your choice.
