From the Captain of the
Fleet:
“The
month of May offered our Fleet two opportunities for sailing related activities.
The Catalina factory tour on May 22nd was well attended, both by prior
attendees and newcomers who had not been there before. In addition, we were
joined by several members of SMWYC who also enjoyed the tour. Frank Butler and
Sharon Day hosted a question and answer session giving further insight into the
company. After the tour, most of the Catalina group joined together for an
informal dinner at a local restaurant. The weekend of May 31st, saw a fleet of
6 Catalinas tied up at the King Harbor Yacht Club. Due to some strong winds, we
only had Aphrodisiac and Summerwind
med-tie. The rest of us were able to tie-up at the other dock. On Saturday
night we had a happy hour on the dock, a visit to the club, and a cook-out
dinner. It was a fun social evening.
Sunday brought a lovely day and we all enjoyed a fast sail to MDR.
Our next meeting: The Hamburger Social –Tuesday, June 17th
“Tuesday,
June 17th, is the first of our popular hamburger socials. There is no
speaker, just good food and drinks and plenty of social time together. For
those who have not been able to attend some of our prior meetings or other
sailing activities, this will be a fun evening to attend. The hamburgers,
salads, fixings and desserts are all provided. All you have to do is cook your
own. The food cost is only $5.00 each - a real good bargain.
"Under a Catalina
Moon" – The Catalina Yacht's West Coast Rendezvous
“Friday,
July 11th, thru Sunday, July 13th, are the
dates for the Catalina rendezvous at Two Harbors. You may make your reservations at the
Catalina website (see below). After the cut off date on June 28th, there will
be an additional charge and no guarantee of a free tee shirt or that the name
of your boat will appear in the Rendezvous Program. The website also shows the
numerous events that are taking place on Friday thru Sunday.
“As in the past our Fleet will be
handling the check-in on Friday afternoon and Saturday morning. Gene Levinthal, Summerwind, is our
point man on the check-in this year, but we will need some other Fleet members
to help with the check-in. We look forward to seeing you at the Rendezvous.”
Your Fleet Captain, Hal Avery
