Blue Wall is getting a lot of attention from the wall repair team and the decking team.  While
this is going on, another wall repair team is working near the mast crane to repair that wall.

02  Sunday - Children's Christmas Party   

Sue Hamilton Jobs to be done (in spite of the Mayans)
- from Sue Hamilton, Work Party Coordinator
________________________________________________________________________ 

According to the Mayan calendar, we have until Dec 21 to finish up our outdoor projects for the year!  For the next three weeks we will continue to work on the docks (lead Mike Leroux), wall repairs - we continue to need extra help (lead Stephen Trevitt), and work raft repair/chain replacement (lead Joe Simpson).  Please look for these leads if you are coming down to the club Saturday morning for instructions.  

 

For those of you who think the Mayans may very well have miscalculated, have a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year - Gangam Style! (if your not sure what that is, just google it, if you can't google you're not really missing anything anyway)

 

Thanks to all the hearty souls who have contributed to the club's well-being in 2012, and here's to 2013!
Cheers

Sue

Sailing isn't a sport
- from:  http://savingsailing.com/2012/08/16/sailing-isnt-a-sport/
_____________________________________________________

Look it up.  According to my dictionary, a sport is "an activity involving physical exertion and skill in which an individual or team competes against another or others for entertainment." And while many sailors I know will say that they enjoy racing sailboats, sailing is so much more than just a lowly sport.

When was the last time you saw tennis played in a pelting, thundering rain squall?

Sailors do it all the time.

 

When was the last time a basketball player studied emergency and rescue procedures to keep fellow teammates safe and secure?

 

When was the last time you saw soccer players standing by quietly for hours and sometimes days, waiting for mother nature to join the game?

 

When was the last time you saw a hockey player invite grandma onto the ice?

 

When was the last time you saw a quarterback use a star to navigate, the moon to light the field, or pause to gaze upon the aurora borealis during a game?

 

When was the last time you saw a sprinter stay on the field for hours and hours after the race just to be on the field?

 

And when was the last time you heard any of these sports-people say that they would play to the very end?

 

Sailors do it all the time.

 

No, sailing isn't a sport. Sport should be so lucky.
