On behalf of the sailing club I would like to thank pirate queen Mary Anne Fewkes and her worker wenches Gail Deal, Sue Keenan and Alice Dropper for all the work they did to organize and conduct the catered picnic. It was a great success and the weather could not have been better.

Joint Sailing Club and Sports Club Raft Up Party on August 24th
This year the Sailing Club organizes the Pontoon Raft Up Party together with the Lake Auman Sports Club. The Pontoon Raft Up Party is a unique BYOB event on the water where you will bring small food plates to pass and bring your own drinks for a party on pontoon boats! Deck boats are welcome too. We will tie all boats together and we will have a very special party on the lake!
This party requires planning. We need to know who is participating with a pontoon boat and who would like to participate but has no boat. With that information we will try to put people without a boat on a participating boat. Please let me, Paul Kirst, (This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.) know by August 17th, if you plan to intend the raft up with your pontoon boat or need a ride. Also, let me know if you have room on your boats for a few more. We will then try to make sure that everyone who wants to attend has a ride.
Let’s make this party on the lake a big event on August 24th!
Paul Kirst, Commodore
Ahoy all,
This is the last call for participating in the boating poker game on Saturday June 22nd.
So far, no one has signed up!! If you want to play, please send me an email at This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. and let me know so I know how many cards to distribute. Cards will be attached face down to several buoys marking the ski area. You will pick up your poker hand consisting of 5 or 7 cards (TBD) any time during the day on that Saturday using any non powered boat (i.e. sail, kayak, canoe, paddle board…). When I know who is playing I will send you an email on Friday June 21st identifying which buoys will have cards and how many cards to collect – one from each buoy. Good luck and no cheating.
Then Saturday evening there will be a BYOB at Johnson Point at 5 pm. Bring your cards and we will compare hands and declare a poker winner and enjoy some pizza.
The weather forecast is good for all day Saturday.
Commodore Paul
