Karl Millen – The Aftermath!

We met, we ate, and although there wasn’t a whole lot of wind, we improvised with a LeMans Style start .. The Dinghy’s went over to Peninisula and back to the dock and the Cruisers tried to make it around the island and back to the dock.. We had a Photo finish with Rob Hatcher snatching defeat from the jaws of victory ( Dr. Sunfish Barry Sanders) and a virtual tie via motor startupery for the Cruisers with Kevin Klarer edging out Lee Huddleston..   Thanks to all those brave souls who came out and competed…

Urgent Update…from Commodore Reimer! Water rising at POYC and unless you plan to race Saturday we recommend removing boats from dock to keep pressure off the swing arm anchors…looks like we may have a race window after morning and before late afternoon rains, so plan on attending…also we will need a count for our BBQ dinner before finalizing our purchases in the early am Saturday…email should go out to advise those that don’t use Facebook…look forward to seeing a big crowd to celebrate the Fourth… Gary

Here’s a Picture of our booth at the Summer Activities Fair; thanks to Rob, Holly and Gwen Hatcher for organizing and manning this along with Devin Mitchell and Bill Miller.

Rob and Gwen Hatcher manning the booth

 

Rob Hatcher said “The booth at the Summer Activities Fair yesterday at Bowling Green High School. Had a rigged sunfish outside the front door of the gym. (Wish I had a pic of that…) Lots of attention and prospects. Thanks Bill Miller and Devin Mitchell for the help!”

Holly Hatcher related “I manned the table, too, and we had a lot of people stop and ask questions. We gave out about 40+ flyers. And Gwen made sure kids got dum-dums from the candy jar! Several inquiries were made about the club itself, and we had many chances to promote the adult sailing class, too. I think having the sunfish parked out front was a big hit. Was fun to do!”

Rob said “This type of exposure is bound to be effective. Even if kids don’t sign up for the camp, it lets families know that we are here and what we are about. Getting over the “yacht” hurdle still seems to be one of the bigger challenges, lol.”
