{{{ {{Bill Shaw’s Report}} }}} Once again, the OSYC raft-up proved to be very popular with the members. There were 8 or 9 boats in attendance, each with 2 or more people aboard. We even got Howard to land and come ashore this time. We went to the back side of “Goat Island” and pretty much had the island to ourselves. The water was deep enough for most of the boats to pull in, drop a stern anchor and tie up to trees on shore. Ronnie cooked up some great hotdogs, some even got introduced to “one” of my Daughters veggie dogs. (I don’t think anybody had two veggie dogs.) The Phillip’s brought another batch of their special homebrew, frozen bourbon, gosh that stuff sneaks up on you libation. We need to get them to put the recipe on the web site. We all ask how they make it, but it is always after we have had a couple tests, so of course nobody remembers. Grayson, once again, assured that everybody gained a few pounds with three delicious deserts. I know personally that all three were good. We will make these get-togethers a regular event next year and will look into scheduling at least one more this year. How about after one of our Saturday fall races? {{{ {{Grayson’s Report}} }}} Jonathon Schnider, David’s teenage son, and Dexter Davidson, Calvin and Grayson’s 7 year old grandson were the only children present. Jonathon enjoyed the water, while Dexter bobbed on his “Hornet” bounce tube that was attached to the mother ship under the watchful eye of “Gray Gray” while Papa Calvin and the club members solved the problems of the world with the help of the “sailors’ punch” that Greg and Charlotte brought. Bill and Ronnie were our excellent chefs and we all dinned well. Sparklers were brought to lighten the shore, but as darkness was descending and John and Sherry Davis were the only ones to “gunk hole “, they were lighted and enjoyed back at the club. Here is a list of the members or boats that enjoyed the cook out: The Club Barge, Calvin, Grayson and Dexter, Greg and Charlotte Phillips, Howard Gregory, Ken and Jennifer Griffin, John and Sherry Davis, David and Jonathon Schnider, Ronnie Young’s power boat with Ronnie, Bill, Kay and daughter Sarah Shaw, Al Haulk, Jeff and Linda Morrow, Ronnie Hartley. It was a wonderful summer evening, and we were all glad that the day was not spent in the hot sun waiting for a puff of nonexistent wind to push us around a mark!
