The Labor Day Cruise to our Oro Bay* out station was another success with upward of thirty two boats attending. Many thanks to Fleet Captain Bob and Gerry Bachman for putting together all the events and P/C Gary and Jo Carr for their leadership in constructing the float for the Anderson Island Labor Day Parade. Events like this are what boating with BYC is all about. Logon to the BYC website and under the Members’ Only section, click on “Labor Day at Oro Bay 2005” to see some great pictures. The Annual Salmon Bake on September 11th was another superb event. CAPT Bob Stansberry and First Mate Stephanie prepared another fine meal that seems to get better every year. Their crew served upwards of 160 meals – almost at full capacity for one sitting. During the serving, we collected almost $600 for the victims of Hurricane Katrina. Many thanks for your support! The next big event is Oktoberfest on 7 October, hosted by P/C Bob and Jytte Wheeler. As in the past, it will be a fun evening of great German food, music and beer. Be sure to signup early in the lounge to ensure a seat. As a heads up, New Member’s Night on Friday 11 November* will include wine tasting. Be sure to watch the bulletin board in the lounge as the date approaches. Remember, there is no charge for the new members! After many months of working through the installation of the new fuel dispensing system, it is finally a reality! Many thanks to our Facility Manager, Jim Busse, who worked with NW Pump and CAPT Tim Baker who used his employees for the electrical installation. I know many were frustrated with the delay but remember the time and labor were donated! Watch for the announcement about the mandatory training that is required in moving to this system and how to obtain the card necessary to operate the system. |
