Thank you all for showing your support for FWYC racing and sailing!!!
Author and Captain Skip Rowland and his wife, Denise joined us for the spaghetti dinner
and presentation about their adventures on the high seas. I must say, if you missed this
event, I am sorry. Even after hours on the water and a long day of racing, the crowd could
not get enough of Skip and Denise’s experiences sailing around the world. Everyone en-
joyed meeting the couple, purchasing their books, and having a chance to speak with
them.
December 1st brings us the Annual Boat Parade and our in-coming Fleet Captain has
scheduled races for the 2019 Frosty Nipple small boat regatta beginning in December.
Check the calendar! If you are a small boat sailor, don’t miss this opportunity.
Thank you for the opportunity to coordinate the efforts of our fleet this year. We would not
have had a successful year without the expertise and generosity of our club members. I
truly appreciate the chance to have had a hand in helping and working with our board in
a positive and supportive role. I wish nothing but the best for our club in the coming year.
It has been an honor to serve.
