This year's Heavy Weather weekend turned out to be a real success! The feedback I received from our guests was all positive and the challenges that come with putting on an event like this seemed transparent to others. Friday dockings went smoothly and my compliments to Maralee Ormiston and committee for an awesome dinner. We had baked potatoes (and all the toppings), clam chowder, chili, and salad. There was plenty to eat and we even made a little money on the event. We tapped a keg of beer on Friday and another on Saturday. Not a drop was left by Saturday evening and everyone seemed to enjoy the "deck party"! The "Dockettes" were stupendous and are now headed to Broadway with their show… The Tacoma Yacht Club set a new benchmark for skit production and there was a feeling that the days of musicals was on the return. We had over forty racers participates in this year's competition. Enough to maintain our prestigious position as sponsors of the largest predicted log race in the world! Switching gears to another February event, I'd also like to thank and recognize Bret and Lynetta Halffman and their committee for a very successful Crab feed. We had over 60 members turn out for this event and again, broke even. This is exactly what we aim to do. Remember to sign up and then dress up (Hawaiian shirts not required but encouraged) for the upcoming Hawaiian Friday night social, March 19th. Mona Lisa Ryan is chairing this event which promises to be fun, fruitful, and entertaining! I hope to see you at the St Patrick's Day Cruise-In in Poulsbo. Be well and safe boating, John Rosendale Vice Commodore |
