Hi Everyone!

At the Ice Breaker John alerted us to the June 20th Swim for MS. I am
planning on swimming across “St. John’s Bay” leaving from the boat landing
at Adams County Park at 10:00. There is no entrance fee, but it is a
fundraiser and I was hoping the members of the Yacht Club would support my effort and donate towards this cause.

The donations will be going to a specific young mother, who has been
diagnosed with MS. I don’t know her, but I do have a personal vendetta
against this disease. My cousin was stricken is her mid 30’s and has lived
with it for 20 years, so this feels a bit personal.

The 17th of June I’ll be coming up to our cabin with some friends, if you
would like to mail a donation before I leave Milwaukee, please send it to:

Jean Salewsky
2406 N.64th St
Wauwatosa, WI 53213

.

Much appreciation to Jean Salewski because of her swimming for the MS Cause.

At our Dinner Cruise raft up we had two guys in a power boat stop by with a bag of ice and beer. They said they saw our event on the BBYC web page and it sounded like fun so they had to stop. Thanks guys that was a thrill. Then John and his family stopped with wine uniquely decorated for the water hand off. Thank you John and family, what a thrill…from the Barnum Bay Yacht Club

Thanks to Doug and Mary for hosting this event.

Date: Saturday & Sunday, Jun 13 & 14

Here are a few comments from Scotty….
Wayne used his boat as the committee boat and one end of the start/finish
line. He also provided his power boat for Chase Boat, which was manned by
myself, my grandaughter Kayla and Rick.  A second chase boat arrived later
to handle the other end of the course.Saturday winds did not cooperate well
so the first race started at 1415, but they were able to get four races in.
Sunday was a snoozer with only a teaser of wind and Dave Reese elected to
call it off and held their award ceremony abot 1215. Because of her
participation on the chase boat Kayla was asked to present the trophies and
was herself presented the Race Committee’s discretionary award for her
participation.  Rick had the high octane zoom camera which belongs to a CRAW member who promisd to have those  pictures downloaded to the CRAW website.   The Craw people were fantastic to be with- an energetic, polite and cooperative group. Personally, I’ll try to be available for the event again next year, because it was just pure fun. Wayne did a bang-up job and deserves due recognition.

Special thanks go to Jeff and Dee Dee Reabe for organizing this event on such short notice (36 hours to be exact).

Another special thanks goes to Dave Grace for bringing Elvis down to the marina, filling her up with gas, putting in a new battery, and renewing her registration.

The race was originally scheduled for Saturday, but due to high winds it was decided to postpone the race until Sunday.  This proved to be a good decision.  The weather on Sunday was perfect.  Temps were in the 70’s and the wind was blowing from the South at about 10 mph.  There were seven boats entered in the race, but Jim Gerlach was unable to race on Sunday.  That left us with six boats consisting of two cats and four cruisers with a total of 15 sailors participating.  Dee Dee Reabe stayed on shore to time boats coming across the finish line.  The race was a large triangle that took between 2 and 3 hours to complete.  Very pleasant conditions.  Thanks again Jeff and Dee Dee for organizing this event.
