From
the Commodore
I
want to thank everyone who attended the February meeting for helping us kick
off another banner year of the Amelia Island Sailing Club. We had above average attendance and lots of
new faces. I hope our visitors will
become regular members. There were
members who were unable to attend and they certainly were missed. I hope everyone will continue to encourage
members of our boating community to join in the fun and fellowship of the
Sailing Club. Maybe we can convert some
of the power boaters to the thrill of sailing.
I can dream can’t I? We have some
great cruises planned for the year and I encourage all who can to
participate. The cruises are always
special events that you will remember for a lifetime. Our Vice Commodore has some “special” fun
events planned this year for sail and power boaters. Our Friday evening “dock parties” have begun
again and are always a fun time. I would
encourage anyone who does not have a Friday evening commitment to join in. Watch your e-mail for the location as some
have been at member’s homes. I want to
especially thank the members who have invited us into their homes on a Friday
evening. They are brave souls!!! Rear Commodore,
Boat
Safely & Have Fun

Vice Commodore's Report
One
of the events I am looking at arranging this year is a Power Boat race. Not an
ordinary
race
where you guys compete to see how much fuel you can burn in as short a time as
possible;
(spoken like a true sailor), but a race where skill, dexterity, courage and of
course cunning will be required.
Much
like sailboats, the power boats would be handicapped and receive a PHRF based
on
a
number of factors, still to be developed. What I would like to know is how many
of our power boating members
would
be interested. Please see me at the next meeting or send me an e-mail;
captain@burnsweb.com.
I
hope most of our Power Boat members respond they would be interested in a fun
race, because I think we could have a lot of fun.
Just
a reminder, this years Poker Run will be held on July 15th followed by a
barbeque at the AIYB.
See
you at the meeting
