Huron Cruise
It was reported the HBYC cruise to Huron Boat Basic was a well planned cruise and quite successful despite the weather. Thanks to P/C Melanie Hitch’s coordination of the cruise and providing delicious breakfasts. Ten boats took part including one trawler and a tug. They had a great sail over to Huron and just as they arrived heavy rain and wind greeted them.
Friends of David and Melanie Hitch from Dayton Sail and Power Squadron joined HBYC members for dinner at the Huron YC Saturday night. The cruisers enjoyed the South Shore Marina boat show and many took rides on luxury power boats. On their Sunday return to Home Port they dealt with rain and fog but overall it was received as well planned and a great cruise.

Larry Hurst and Steve Gast are keeping the tradition alive and have been working diligently on the the race course and boat handicaps and all kinds of details for the race. They have about 4 or 5 racers committed to race and possible another 6 to 8 boats from the HBYC membership that may race. It is reported that some skippers may need crew members in order to race their boats. So sailers you can support your HBYC Skippers who want to race ,they can use your help.

The Stein Hospice Fund Raiser and Social
The Stein Hospice Social and fund raising success has not gone unnoticed over the last few years and this year looks like it will again. Thanks to the Guidance of the Rear Commodore Tim Kemerly and Social Committee Chair Pat Altherr.
As everything else the rain and wind created a slow response in tickets sales for the Stein Hospice fund raiser Dinner. Vice Commodore Russel Marcks recognizing the need to get the word out to our members about the deadline walked the docks and sold tickets nearly doubling the sale of dinner tickets. Thanks Russ!
