Silent Auction, Dinner and Races August 25/07

Donations are sought and welcomed for our annual Silent Auction at the Brig. Volunteers sought and welcomed as well.

Upcoming Events: The Erie Rendezvous

The Erie Rendezvous this year is being organized by Graham of Fearless. So far over 20 boats have planned the weekend to attend and enjoy the "Red Neck" hospitality of our brethren at the Erie Yacht Club. Don't forget to check the website for your weather forecast before leaving. Donna and myself are planning on leaving on Friday most likely heading to the lagoon, with Saturday being the fall back position. We would welcome the company, but we are one of the slower boats in the fleet so it might not be too much fun spanking us across the lake. See you Erie at the red neck shin dig.

Included with the Erie Rendezvous is the usual jocularity, but also a special surprise revealed at the Rendezvous. You don't want to miss it.

Guess Who's Coming To Dinner

Everybody had fun at the Gala event, and although we did not have tickets to attend, the Commodore made measure to see to it that we enjoyed a dinner aboard one of the premier thoroughbreds in the stable. We enjoyed a dinner aboard Offshore Account with our host Jody and Wayne, Patricus was there as well as, some work mates of the Captain. Dinner was a wonderful combination of chicken, rice and asparagus, the conversation was .....interesting as we quizzed Capt Wayne 's guests about there professional vocation, and how their instructor was as a teacher. Jody's patented laugh could be heard reverberating throughout the hull.Hard to get much from Captain Wayne, but boy is he observant! If you ever get the opportunity to enjoy happy hour with Capt Wayne and Jody, make sure you take the opportunity.

Commodore's BBQ

The BBQ was well attended just like last year, although this year we had steaks for all. Murray and the BBQ Musketeers served up the steaks to perfection. Tom managed to capture some video which we hope to uploaded on the website soon. Mary demonstrated a balancing technique which Lourens and myself attempted with out success.
