From
The Commodore:
It
just doesn't seem possible but we are into 2007 and this is my first report as
Commodore.
By
the time you read this, we will have had our Officers and Committee
Chairman/Chairwoman planning meeting. The purpose of which is to assure we all
understand our responsibilities for the year.
2006
was a very good year for our club with a lot of activities and even better, a
lot of member participation. This year should be no exception.
There
will be 8 club races, and 2 interclub races. We plan on at least 2 cruises, a
Poker Run, maybe a fishing contest, and a couple anchor outs at
Although
our name implies we are a sailing club, many of our members, close to 40%, own
powerboats and with the exception of the races, participate in all activities.
I encourage our powerboat owners to join the sailors and crew on the races. The
Saturday races are preceded by a Captain's meeting where members looking to
crew are divided among the participating boats. All you have to do to crew is
volunteer, not be afraid of boating on an angle, and be able to pull a few
lines. Oh yeah, there may be some shouting involved!
See
you at the February meeting.

I am honored to be selected
to become Vice Commodore for the AISC for 2007.
The sailing season is upon us
and an active cruising and racing schedule is being planned and scheduled. With regard to racing I would summarize that
our club has gentlemen/gentle-ladies type racing with nary a protest flag ever
flown in the club races that I have known in the past 8 years or during races
in which I crewed before that. I
encourage everyone to participate in the races even if it is just to sail/motor
around the course to participate in the fellowship behind those who are more
energetic. (The Mary Wanda-er does that but not on purpose!)
If anyone has any ideas that
they would like to discuss or if I can be of assistance please call me at (904)
261-5213 or send me an email at steiny1642@aol.com
Fair winds and following
