[Excerpts from the "Scuttlebutt", MSCs weekly newsletter]
What a weekend!
The Jet 14 Chiefs Regatta and Saturday night club social were beyond great—they were fabulous! The regatta attracted 14 entries and made for some great racing; more about that later. But the hit of the weekend was the Murr-produced Bahama Mama Party on Saturday night. What a gas! The bar opened at 5:23 sharp and featured beer, wine, juice, pop, water, mixed drinks and blender drinks. Thanks to our bartenders Paul Joudrey, Kit Smith and John Ward, everyone was kept happy—they even made some tips! (I complained about that but they insisted the gratuities were pressed upon them.) The place was decked out with island lanterns, a palm tree, table decorations, torches and more. The LIVE MUSIC was an excellent duo, EKC, who was perfect for the event.And if this wasn’t enough the entertainment was, well, highly entertaining. A hand-painted limbo set-up (?) was a challenge to quite a few—a couple of entries limbo-ed right over the hill into the abyss, but they struggled back for more. The highlight was Joe’s participation in a grass skirt and coconut bra. There are pictures which you may or may not want to take a look at….Then Marty Larsen led us in a round of “Name that Tune” for prizes! It was great fun. We enjoyed the evening very much and the guest comments were very positive, indeed. One participant kept saying, “This is so wonderful!” The Larsen-Murr neighborhood guests were delightful indeed and added a lot to the fun. This was a well-put together social and we all truly appreciate the Murr’s excellent social-making.
The sailing was quite exciting, too. Most of us were getting out for our first race of the season and had a few cobwebs to deal with (especially Marty and Joe)…but the competition was keen and the racing enjoyable. The 3-5 mph that was predicted turned into a 5-8 which saved the day. A few items of interest…The furthest traveled award goes to Joy Shipman from Jamestown, RI; thanks to Mike Chambers and Marion Zaugg, and the Michos for supplying boats—again; yippee to Marty Larsen and Joe Murr for most improved from Saturday to Sunday; the happiest boat (#94) was Barb, who got to sail with her daughter, Anne, on Saturday, and the capable Betsy Drennan on Sunday; Bill Regan got to sail with daughter Erin, who is looking more and more like a pro out there; and Chad Clark got to sail with his daughter, Dayna, and they were very, very fast—annoyingly so.We had an interesting moment just as the last couple of boats were leaving the dock for the racing on Sunday morning. We heard a shout that the woods was on fire off the northern corner of the clubhouse. Sure enough, the woods was on fire and Barb and Betsy and Emma hosed it down until it was out.
