From the Commodore: — Well the sailing season is underway after a strange spring we really didn’t have. Our
first on the water event was a huge success with 4 boats showing up in Huntington and 20 people joining for the
dinner at the Huntington Yacht Club. A fun time was had by all – as you can see from the pictures. Please make
an effort to join us at our upcoming on-the-water events described below by the Rear Commodore. We want to
continue the fun throughout the season, and ——– the more, the merrier.

Well, by the time everyone gets this hopefully we will be recovering from a long and hard winter and starting to stir from a long hibernation (except for those skiers who have enjoyed a great ski season). I didn’t make it down to my boat as often as I would have liked this winter but on the few occasions that I did, she was riding well in her slip, still mostly covered with the canvas cover I luckily decided to use once again this winter.

Events for October 2010

captainsilver — Thu, 16 Sep 2010 00:54:43 +0000

Columbus Day Rendezvous – October 9th thru 11th – Annapolis, MD
Tentative – If there is enough interest we are considering doing a club trip to Annapolis to attend the U.S. Sailboat Show which in my view is the best all
sailboat show in the country. Anyone interested should contact me ASAP so we can look into tickets, accomodations etc.

Oyster Bay Oyster Festival – October 16th and 17th – Sagamore Yacht Club
For those intersested, we are considering an “off the schedule” overnight to the Oyster Festival in Oyster Bay. Laurette and I have done this before and had a
great time. Anyone who has attended this event before may recall that going by boat is the only feasible way since the town is literally gridlocked during
this particular weekend. Again, anyone interested should contact me ASAP.

Anyone planning to attend any of these events should contact Bill Shrage at 201-216-2219 (cell).
