Our Commodore did an interview with Bill Radke and Barbara Bogaev of
the public
radio program "Weekend America" last Saturday morning at 0730. It was
a taped interview that was edited for play on their show later that
day. While the editing incorrectly indicated that the 44 Island Gypsy
was his boat, it was still a fun interview. Bill Radke knows that our
Commodore
owns a 32' Nordic Tug, as Sharon and Charlie know his sister, Susan,
who along
with her husband, also happens to own a 32' Nordic Tug. It was the
producer and/or editor that "gave" him a bigger boat. At any rate,
you

BYC's Sea Dragon (choreographed by Consuelo Udave and skippered by Gary Carr) plows the Parade Waters of Union Bay
| Bremerton's Sea Dragon won the overall first place at this year's Boat Parade as part of the Opening Day Ceremonies in Seattle (Portage Bay / "Mountlake Cut") organized by the Seattle Yacht Club. The Bremerton Yacht Club's boat, owned and skippered by Gary and Jo Carr, won the coveted Admiral's Trophy on the basis of their best response to the parade's theme. This year the theme was "Caribbean Carnival". The decoration and costume design (for a crew of about 20) and the implementation were directed by BYC member Consuelo Udave (Waldorf). Sea Dragon also won the "Past Commodore's Trophy in its class "Sponsored Decorated". The second place in this class went to Highlife from the Kingston Cove Yacht Club. Poulsbo Yacht Club was also successful. Sir Lantslot (owners Steve and Linda Lants) took home the "Seattle Mariner / Friedlander Trophy" in the class "Dressed Power". |
