Well, it’s mid-October, and the boat show fever is heating up. For those of you who attended this weekend’s sailboat show in Annapolis, you couldn’t have asked for better weather. From what I understand, the attendance was outstanding, and as for one, I was excited to see the number of catamarans on display. Looks like the we will be hunting around for a Lagoon 400 in about 2 years. If you are going to the power boat show this coming weekend, I hope it will be just as much fun!
This October brings some very happy and very upsetting news, both centering on very long standing members of the club. For the happy news, its congratutaltions to Lenny Statile and his lovely lady Diane, for there will be a wedding this year-end. Cheers Lenny!!!
And now for the bad news. Our good friend and past Commodore Arthur Epstein is having health problems, and he needs all of our support and prayers to keep him on a steady course. Artie is a one-of-a-kind gentleman and a good mate for any boat, so please send him your positive energy. While we’re at it, please keep former Commodore Tom Schwartz in your thoughts as well as his health battle goes on.
LYC continues to thrive as a yacht club, and as Commodore, I was privileged to visit the Annapolis Yacht Club this past Saturday. I have arranged for our club name to be entered into their book and I will be presenting our burgee to their commodore very soon. If you’ve never visited the AYC, it’s quite a treat. It’s amazing what can be done with 2,000 members!
