Starting this fall, Ex-Commodore Billings will be chairing a committee
to address spousal membership. This will be a huge change for
Bremerton Yacht Club with many issues to be addressed. Other yacht
clubs and organizations have done this and have become better and
stronger as a result. I ask that the membership look at this with an
open mind and an opportunity for us to grow. Those wishing to be a
part this committee, please contact Ex-Commodore Billings in September.
P/C Burwell along with P/C Rumbold and Captains Davis and Danielsen
have been meeting with Pope Industries in Port Gamble* with the idea of
developing a northern outstation. Although only in the beginning
stages, some real possibilities exist to make this happen. Port Gamble
is only 1.5 nautical miles farther than Oro Bay, requires no ferry, has
exciting weekend events within walking distance of the moorage, and
would be a jumping off point for the Hood Canal and the San Juans!
Watch for more information as the talks continue.
In closing, I ask that members please look around as you walk the docks
and grounds. If you see trash, pick it up. If you see something in
need of repair, report it to our Facility Manager, Caretaker, or
appropriate committee chairman. We are a volunteer organization that
takes pride in what we have!
Have a great summer on the water!
Ronald Morse
Commodore
