The annual Flat Point Clam Fest, on Sunday the 8th this year, was awesome. The weather couldn t have been better. We had lots of fine food, drink and friends. And let us not forget : Doug Cram and Lane Langford received their Vice and Rear Commodore pins. These, along with my Commodore s pin, will be handed down annually to the next officer in line. Jim Lett kicked off planning for the North Cruise We had a few guests who have indicated they re planning to join. Then, on Friday the 13th, we went straight into the Commodore s Cruise, which, from all accounts, was a smashing success. 14 vessels and 43 people attended. Probably the highest turn out ever. The weather could have been a bit better, but not much. The sun was out most of the time, and it only rained enough to wet the decks. The voyage from Lopez to Victoria was interesting, but not dangerous. I think most captains would agree that the entrance to Victoria was the most challenging, both for arrival and departure. From the dock party and potluck on Friday night to dinner Saturday evening, to the Sunday morning coffee, all was great!
