Fall Meeting 2013
We had a record number of 50+ attending the Fall Meeting this year. Thank you to all our cooks for providing us with some yummy food.
With Steve Twymans Commodore Role coming to an end, and Vice Commodore, Chesley Campbell not wishing to take over the busy role, new officers were needed to volunteer to take care of our group for 2014. As it was being discussed who would take over these roles Bob Harrison walked through the door and everyone brorke into applause and jokingly voted him in, rendering him speechless for a few seconds! In the end though Dennis Koehler stepped up as Commodore and Dave Rock as Vice-we all know they will make a great team. Helen Rock was happy to continue as Secretary and Doug Miller as Treasurer. So many members volunteered to host and co-host events over the past year, many members were at events to help in the set up/clean up, Patricia worked hard on our SCYC Merchandise and Diane Walters worked diligently at keeping the website updated--all are thanked for their enthusiasm and hard work for making our club a success. This years Shipmate of The Year Award and Flag were awarded by previous years winner, Don Courtney, to Laura Twyman " who continuously contributes to the energy and enthusiasm for all in the club. Thank you Laura! "
Mark and Meryl hosted about 12-15 of us on their boat evening to enjoy the wonderful leftovers from the Fall Meeting.

Labor Day 2013
A few words to describe the weekend are great sailing, pizza, new anchorage, stuck and broken anchors and an easy raft up Saturday. 16 people had dinner at the Pizza Pub. Sunday started off warm and muggy and several boats headed out to enjoy the day. 5 Boats spent the night at a new anchorage out by Eastland Creek. The day was great but a huge storm came up in the afternoon-24 to 27 knots. Steve and Laura were on M&M when the storm came up and tried rowing back to Parrotise but ended up going backwards, finally returning to wait it out on M&M.
