Commodore’s Corner

Jack Creed - Commodore

I would like to start my article with thanking the hard working members that manage the functions, spending the most time doing that which makes our club fun to be a part of. In no particular order Ted Wing, Erv Zimmerman, Doug Post, Dee Lundy, Gail Locke and Gae Wing. I would also like to thank the board officers and chairpersons that made my job enjoyable.

Honorable mention goes to Don Tishler for his effort to come and join us on a Sunday afternoon for the membership meeting. He drove all the way from Indiana leaving at 6am thru snow squalls, cars spinning out of control, just to be with his fellow club members.

Welcome new board officers Dee, Sandy, Pat, Ken and Jean for the 2006 year.

While looking at the snow I received a notice to race for the 30 nationals in Galveston TX. This made me long for the lesser latitudes and the winter warm breezes, but I will have to be happy for our 6 month season for now.

Winter boat projects are next on the agenda for me, working on the engine.

I received a call last month from a high school friend about a class mate who had drown. He was on a maiden sail with a crew on a boat he had built in his yard. This man was not a novice seaman, he had a captain’s license and was the master of a dinner cruise boat in Wisconsin. Think safety when going forward, when the wind is up or the water is cold, because he didn’t, having no harness or life jacket on and fell off the boat. Always safety first.

See you at the Commodore’s Ball
