Due to the weather forecast, we elected to take a safer tack and use Capt. John Rosendale's "Mystic Blue" as the Officers' Boat instead of Capt. Pat Alexander's "Illusions". While it didn't rain, we had a fierce wind, and I think everyone felt safer with the high bulwark and hand rails. An additional plus was the fact that when our float boat, Capt. Jim Picinich's "Harbor Lights" played "Who let the dogs out!", while passing the reviewing stand, Denise Rosendale let Murphy, Madeline and Molly out of the cabin to run up to the front deck of "Mystic Blue". We're sorry we didn't have "Bob the dog" along with us on NOBSKA, as he was at the dog motel. Thanks, Jim, John and Pat, for supporting BYC with your vessels, and thanks to all who participated in the decorating and the supporting actor/actress roles.
By the time you read this, the Sunday breakfast on the 24th of April will be history. Based on past experience, I know Capt. Mike Dunn and crew will have treated us to a delicious meal. Thank you, Mike & Abbie.
Seattle Yacht Club's "Opening Day" weekend is the first weekend in May. I hope to see lots of BYC boats there. It's always a great weekend.
