END OF THE YEAR ACTIVITIES 2019

Hi BBYC members,
Just a recap of last fall’s events: The Dam Race was well attended however the wind never really showed up. The day was lovely but the boats didn’t appreciate it so they sat still in the water. We had some sailors who were able to finish: Jim Wanta and Barry Winters in the catamaran category, Jeff and Heath Reabe in the cruiser category and Dennis Gamble and Kurt Sims in the centerboard category. The remainder of the boats: Rick Georgeson, Ken Norton and Peter Manley on Evening Whisper, Dave Ewanowski, Monica Plummer, Peter Kovacevich, and Gary Hartung on Plum 3, Bob Gause, Scotty and Doug Dannen on Minji, Clyde Fuhrmeister and Ron Callan on Clyde’s (unnamed) boat, and Gary Felber, Mike and Denise Prissel on Windborne all were unable to get to the finish line. Despite the wind not blowing we did enjoy our meal at the Lure together. Another Dam race in the books! The traditional corn roast the night before the race was well attended. Thanks to Gary Felber, Mike Prissel and Rick Georgeson for roasting the corn. Thanks also for all the attendees and the lovely potluck. The heck with sailing when you can have a great meal on the beach! In October we met on the beach at Barnum Bay for the Chile cook off. It turned out to be a lovely night with a nice mixture of variously chili concoctions. Mike Prissel and Gary Felber got a nice fire going which we sat around and enjoyed while being entertained by Gary’s guitar and singing show. Gary and Julie and her granddaughter, Mike and Denise, Rick Georgeson, Janie Raab, Fred Felix and Mayo Ewanowski enjoyed the night. |
