2011 October Commodore’s Column

Ahoy PTYC Members!

What a fabulous fall we have enjoyed with marvelously warm and sunny weather. I hope many of you had a chance to cruise during these balmy days. Alas, winter is coming but my wife and I truly enjoy the fall season in the pacific northwest with intermittant dry days to extend the boating season.

 A special thank you and salute to our September Watch Chelcie and Kathy Liu, and Tim and Janice Hodge. Delicious apple pie with ice cream were enjoyed by all, however, the Watch reported significant leftovers so members are advised to eat more!  Also, a special thank you is in order for Club member Dale Moses for his presentation on kayaking in the Salish Sea region. As he noted, our cold water and strong currents pose certain risks that must be anticipated in order to ensure personal safety. Many of our members kayak and Dale’s insights were much appreciated by all.

The August social “Commodore Crush,” at our home in Port Ludlow, was very well attended and I believe everyone had a pleasant time. My personal thanks to all who stopped by!   (more…)
