I can’t believe it is September already and hope everyone is staying cool during this heat wave we are having. Stop by the Club and cool down. We have a lot of fun things planned this month, but first I would like to thank Karen and Fleet Captain Tony for doing an excellent job on the Luau Cruise. Perfect weather and a very large turnout. Thanks for all of the hard work Karen and Tony.
Coming Up This Labor Day Weekend:
Curt Bersche - Commodore
TEXAS BBQ – SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 2 – 5pm-9pm Come on up to the Club for this incredible feast prepared by Staff Commodores Kent Andersson and Barrie Harnett.

Mark your calendars. On Monday, September 25 at 7:00PM, Erica Cirino, science photojournalist from Plastic Change, will be giving a presentation about their travels, what they have found at sea, the latest science on plastic pollution and what is being done to combat the problem.

He has made new friends for us in Northern and Southern Spain on this trip. If you are ever there, be sure to stop in and look for our flag!

Wendy Steinthal - Port Captain
How did we get to September? I guess it is true what they say, time flies when you are having fun. The cruises, the parties, the sun and the amazing sunsets seen from the deck of the club has made this an amazing summer!
It’s great to see people coming up in their dinghy’s and other watercraft. Take advantage of the dock and avoid the traffic. If you want to or need to leave your boat overnight, contact me to make sure that no one has reserved the spot. We want to make sure the spots reserved in advanced are kept free. Please note, overnight stays count towards your 3 day reciprocal with the club – but you have them, so take advantage!
September is the time to get ready for the last cruise of the season and show off your cooking skills. Tony has been working hard on some great events for the Hors d'oeuvres Cruise, so remember to sign up, you won’t want to miss out on all the fun!
The response has been great in signing up for OD, thank you to all that have signed up and put on some pretty fab OD festivities. Attached is the latest list, so please take a moment to reconfirm the date you signed up for. There is still time to sign up for October. Please e-mail me at: [email protected] to sign up or sign up at the club, the list is by the signup for FND. While you are at it, how do you feel about feeding 30-40 of your closest club friends for either a FND or a Monday Night Football?
See you around the club!
Your Port Captain,
Wendy
