From the Captain of the Fleet:

 

“Bring a creative dish to the next meeting to share at our Potluck. We use to have these Potluck feeds almost every other meeting and I really enjoy them because I really like to eat. So, bring something really good and I’ll thank you.

 

“One of the last and best cruises of the year is coming up. We get to use the facilities at White’s Cove maintained by Balboa Yacht Club courtesy of Craig and Mary Anne Fritzsche. This is always one of the highlights of our cruising with a volleyball contest, pumpkin carving and, again, a great BBQ cookout on Saturday night. We pay BYC a slight fee of $25/boat to use their beautiful facilities and, of course, there is the mooring fee. He will need a count of the number of expected boats and people. I hope to see you all there.

 

“There will be no meeting in November or December. We will have the traditional Holiday Party on Friday, December 6th, where there is always lots of good food (do I seem to be on a roll here?). See you at the Potluck with your favorite dish (I meant food dish).”

Your Fleet Captain, Gene Levinthal

 

Next Meeting: Doug Pease on his 2000 Mile Cruise in a Catalina 27:

 

Doug Pease, of Catalina Yacht Anchorage, will show slides of his 2000 mile cruise from Bashon Island, Washington to Skagway, Alaska. He’ll discuss all the sights and “sounds” (could not avoid the pun here). It was a lifetime adventure and he did it in a Catalina 27.
