FROM THE HELM

As June winds down we have been thankful for temperatures much lower than a year ago. Hopefully we won’t pay for this with high temps and storms during the rest of the summer. Other parts of the country have had more than enough heat.

The early story is that the Junior Sailing Program is again off and running in fine fashion. Fully enrolled - all participants having a great time. Many thanks again to Bill Brown for his efforts in organization and to Jim Garrett and sailors for all of the efforts in fleet maintenance. Great job.

Adult sailing is also looking at a successful season. A large number of people have signed up to participate. Excellent reviews from last year. A number of people have volunteered a huge amount to get this going - in maintenance and in time spent instructing. Thanks to all of them. This program has become a strong drawing point.

Thanks again to Scott Titus for spearheading the Governor’s Cup event. It takes time and talent to be able to pull this event off. He needs support from many Club members in all different capacities - so sign up to help! Hopefully this will continue to grow from the Covid years.

The negative at this point is our inability to pull off the July 4th social event. This is particularly sad because of the fantastic event that was held last year. The Board will continue to work towards making these events feasible. As in the past - suggestions are quite welcome.

Quiz of the month - remaining in a sports mode: who said: “All right everyone, line up alphabetically according to your height.” and “Never make predictions, especially about the future.”
