My daughter's special day went smooth and all invited guests had a wonderful time. After returning home Donna had to unpack and repack for her trip (next day) to Japan which she does every other month for the Shipyard. Just to let you know that Work Party time is upon us, please continue to check the calendar and bulletin board for times. The required time is 16 hours per membership [As voted in at General Membership Meeting of 15 October 2007! (the Web Editor)]. Yes, there is a lunch provided . There is plenty to do, if you have any questions please contact the Work Party Chairman Norm Smith. Still looking for a Christmas (Santa) ship for the Lighted Boat parade. The P/C's will decorate your boat for you..
Point to Ponder:
The size issue begins with those who feel that any vessel above 30' is a
yacht, while others believe that any vessel over 40' is a yacht and still
others believe that any vessel over 65' is a yacht. Anyone who owns a
vessel in the 30' to 65' range should realize that if they want to call
their vessel a yacht, there are others making the same claim including
manufacturers. The consensus seems to be that any vessel between 65' and
150' is a yacht. Vessels larger than 150' would be considered a ship,
while others may refer to them as a mega or super yacht.
A yacht is any private vessel used for pleasure but designed for crossing
large bodies of water. A boat is any form of vessel designed to operate
on a small body of water. In conclusion to this great debate, the major
differences between a yacht and a boat exist largely in the eye of the
beholder.
