June 2019 Commodore Phil Davies
[email protected] Our month started for 70 plus members and friends boarding 9 boats in Road Town on Tortola, the trip started with a great party hosted by the BVI Tourist Board before we all departed for our boats and for most a great week on the water. Even us power boaters enjoyed the time sailing, particularly the run to Anegada. Once again thanks go to Wayne & Carol Martin for all their hard work in creating a successful cruise out, we look forward to the next adventure, with Greece, Croatia and the South Pacific all mentioned! Events such as the BVI cruise show the value that we all gain from being members at OYC. Our nominating committee is currently developing the nominees for next year’s Board and key positions within the club, as a part of this process the committee circulated a survey, hopefully you received this and had the chance to reflect on how you might support the club. If you did not receive a survey please contact Tom West. At our May Board meeting we reluctantly accepted the resignation of Ron & Carmen Konkle, as they look to move to the next phase of their lives. I would like to recognize all of the time and effort that both Ron & Carmen have put into the club over the years, you will both be missed and we wish you fair winds and following seas wherever life takes you. As a result of Ron departing we will be looking for a volunteer to coordinate the Lighted Yacht Parade, we have for many years run this event in conjunction with Encinal, if you have an interest in helping to support this event, please advise Ben.
