Greetings to all. We had a great day on July 10. The Stein Hospice Race in the Bay was a great success. The wind picked up and made for an exciting race. Thank you, Larry Hurst. We enjoyed a fun social including a chicken dinner and entertainment by Babes in Black. The best thing was that we raised close to $1200 for Stein Hospice. Thanks to Genie Barthelman and her team. Cruising has been going well with a lot of boats participating and with more to come. Check the website schedule. Our next race and social event will be on August 14 with a fun race, a steak roast, and entertainment by Matt Goodrich performing country music. Get your tickets ASAP from Genie. There will be a 4pm Membership meeting at the clubhouse.

Part of HBYC’s mission is to provide safety and education events. I have planned one for Sunday 15 August at 1100am right after VC Janell Lundgren’s yoga class. The event will be a short refresher on how to specifically use our clubhouse Automated External Defibrillator (AED) and best practices in performing Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR). This is not a certification course, but an informal update. It will last about 45 minutes and include a short video. If you want to try CPR, I will have a manikin available to use. Please join me for the program.

Please don’t forget to checkout the HBYC website (harborbayyachtclub.org) for the latest in scheduled events and to find the online link to the Ship’s Stores for HBYC apparel.

Please stay tuned for more updates.
