Sailing Club News
May 2010
established to foster and encourage the spor t of sailing
Regatta preparations
progress; moonlight
summer series planned
The last few meetings have renewed my feeling that WSC can and will rise from the ashes it
found itself in 2 years ago. It’s not an easy process, as you can imagine.
But new members who
actually show up and contribute
ideas and enthusiasm are making it happen.
It’s encouraging to have
Nancy and Jake Cartwright and
Bill Keller and Bob Power and
Mike Archibald and Jim Samuels and Chris and Jim Kelly and
the new Cynthia not only taking
part in the effort but showing
real interest in our success.

Get registered EARLY!
Nancy says “You will have
fun! This summer in this club!
Or else!” and we believe her.
Several ideas to make sure
this happens were tossed around.
I like the pirate-themed Walk the
Plank off the top of the Barge
cannonball contest.
Our daughter, Rosie, mentioned that we should revive the
Beauty and the Beast race which
is understandable as she has won
it twice.
There was also the Whiskeytown Inflate-a-pool toy-around
the buoys race.
These and also raft-ups and
some not on the lake get togethers were mentioned.
If you have any ideas along
these lines let us know by phone
or e-mail, or even better bring
them along with you to the next
meeting.
In closing I would like to
again thank Chief Ranger Jim
Richardson out at Whiskeytown
for his help and encouragement.
Gorden Briggs, Commodore
CREW MATCH
Please go to the Crew Match link
on our site and list your availability to crew, or to have your boat
crewed upon!
Barge committee
replaces wooden
decks, carpeting, revamps
ladder and scoring board
rack. Gorden worked with
Mikes Kelly and Archibald,
Bill Keller and Ron Hanford
to do upgrades for the decade
. . . these should last for a
while. Now we need paint!
Friends of Whiskeytown
plans luau at Brandy Creek
Beach May 8th, 5pm
This is their annual fundraiser and the
beach will allow for a larger group to attend, as the event has been growing each
year. Friends of Whiskeytown is hosting
a full-fledged luau complete with tiki
torches, hula dancers, and a roasted pig.
A silent and live auction will be held
with some very enticing items, and it is
the only night of the year you can enjoy
a cool adult beverage on the beach at
Whiskeytown. Consider joining this funfilled evening and help raise funds to hire
college students to build trails in the park!
Purchase tickets at Kent’s Meats
and Groceries, Crown Camera, Sunset
Marketplace, and the Visitor’s Center at
Whiskeytown.
