Summer is here and it is time for cruising. Vic has put a cruising calendar (password protected) on the website so be sure and take a look. If you are interested, send us information your Summer cruising itinerary. Reminder: Due to summer cruising and the associated low Board Meeting attendance, we will not have a meeting in July or August. We have decided to have our next meeting in September at Hales Ales again but this time be sure and sit at the tables set up for us in the foyer area! This week we Rocked the Dock. We had our traditional dinners of salmon one night and bacon wrapped steak the next. The food was delicious, thanks to Laura for the meal prep. Friday night was band night, it was very fun and the folk’s downtown would stop and listen from above. Saturday, many folks went up into town. Everyone was talking about the ride “Wings over Washington”, something you may want to check out next time you are in Seattle. We also had a boat naming event. Bart and Brenda Kooyman

just bought the boat and renamed it “Wine Time” which fits our club. It was an official ceremony; I was in full uniform in the 80 degree weather, it was hot. Everyone enjoyed a glass of champagne in a toast to the new boat name, and then Bart and John (Canadian guest of Earl & Lleslie) jumped in the water as part of a Canadian tradition. That night the entertainment was Karaoke and it was better than most. The DJ was very good making sure we had plenty of dance music and filling in when folks needed help singing. We did lots of dancing, in fact I had a special moment where Mike Burke and I did a dance we called the “Boeing Engineer Rock On”, it was a good time. We had to stop the music by 10 otherwise Bell Harbor would not let us return. So we made sure that we did not violate the rules (Seattle Ordinance). Hosts Laura and Mike were not able to finish the event so on Sunday we had lots

to do, but thanks to all the amazing members of the club we were able to get everything cleaned up. Thank you to our cooks, Mike Burke, Earl Sommers, and Paul Quinn. Thanks to all our working crews Lleslie and Earl, Patty and Paul , Jim and Judy, Bart and Brenda, Sue Collins and Carolyn, Mike and Sue, Dave and Susie, Vic and Kari, Larry and Keli, Dennis and Brynn, Al and Karen pretty much everyone at the rendezvous. Nice to know when things get rough you can count on our members to step in and help. We couldn’t ask for anything more, thanks again. Next event is the Crab Derby on Labor Day. This is always a great event. Larry and Keli are going to be your hosts, and Paul and Liz will facilitate the Derby. Have a great boating Summer

with fair winds and smooth seas!
