E., WINDSOR, ONTARIO N8S 1H1 MEMBER OF DRYA AND ILYA - Lat N 42˚ 20’ 29” Long W 82˚ 56’ 00” INCORPORATED 1937 2 WWW.WINDSORYACHTCLUB.COM COMMODORE’S REPORT FRANK DOLAN This year is fl ying by, it is hard to believe that July is already here. Mary Lou and I were very busy during the month of June and before we knew it the month was over. We started the month representing the Club at the Grosse Isle Commodore’s Ball. The ball had a Scottish theme, with the decorations and food created to provide a taste of Scotland. We then attended the Blessing of the Fleet ceremony continuing a long-standing tradition of the Club. On the fourteenth of the month we attended the Canadian Club Race. We ended the month joining the fl eet cruise to MacRay Harbour. Combining these activities with our work schedules provided us with a very busy month. I would like to thank P/C Fr. Stan Fraser for once again presiding over our traditional Blessing of the Fleet. It was truly a very enjoyable event. I would also like to thank P/C Rick Zangari and the Race committee for a great Cana- dian Club Race. The activities surrounding the race, both on and off the water, were well organized and orchestrated. It was a great day for the sailors who were participat- ing in the race as well as the spectators who watched from the patio. This time of year the patio is by far the best area of the Club to sit and enjoy dinner or relax and have a drink. From the patio you are provided a great view of Peche Island, the Detroit River and Lake St Clair. You can relax and watch the boats entering and leaving Lake St Clair, get a glimpse of the freighter traffi c on the Detroit River or watch the various species of birds that frequent the waterway between the Club and the Island. Mary Lou and I enjoy the patio, spending as much time there as our schedules permit. There are still lots of good weather days ahead, come out and enjoy the patio. Financially, June was a good month for the Club. Our cash fl ow is strong and the bank accounts healthy. Our management staff work hard behind the scenes ensuring our records are accurate and up to date. Over all our fi nancial position is well controlled and in very good shape. There are numerous events planned for the Club in the month of July. Please check the calendar in the Log as to when they are scheduled so that you do not miss out. I also would like to remind everyone to make reservations when possible for the din- ing room and Club events as it helps us make your time at the Club enjoyable. Mary Lou and I will be at the Club as much as we can and are looking forward to seeing you there… Your Place…On the water.

I had the honour to participate in this traditional service that began centuries ago in Mediterranean fi shing communities and is meant to ensure a safe boating season. P/C Fr. Stan Fraser blessed over 25 boats that passed in procession in front of the Flag Offi cers. Those of you on the Patio also witnessed this wonderful tradition in its full splendour. Thanks to all who participated. This was quickly followed the next weekend by a Fleet Cruise to Robert and Cheryl Troup's SANDBAR. There our hosts welcomed approximately 80 guests to their restaurant and boat dock facilities. This is now a well-attended annual event by boaters and non-boaters alike. The following weekend P/C Rick Zangari and his Race Committee hosted our annual Canadian Club Race. Over 200 guests packed the Club on a gorgeous Friday afternoon to witness the 58 boats that passed by our Patio Wall. Members of the Race Committee also waited until four in the morning for those boats to cross the fi nish line. It was a great Race! While this is all taking place Lance and his Entertainment Committee continue to spew out fi ne Friday evening music for all to enjoy. Both Stephanie and I were there to see Bigg Wiggle and enjoy the company of over 200 guests that attended to the Club that Friday evening. Come out Friday night for an hour or two - I know you'll enjoy it. Mother Nature still throws us some curve balls; therefore, we had to move our Men's Day Event to July 10th. P/C Dan Caster and P/C Robert Troup are defi nitely working overtime to move all the various parts together again to accommodate the new date. We also had to get a few volunteers together to sandbag the north east corner of the Patio in case of fl ooding. Thanks to all who pitched in to make it happen. Upcoming events are the Kid's Pool Party, Ladies Summer Social Dinner, Red Solo Cup Party and our Fleet Cruise to Algonac. Lots to do to entertain us - and give you every good reason to come out and join us at our wonderful Yacht Club. 5 BBQ Lunch $100 & Steak Dinner CDN WEDNESDAY JULY 10, 2019 COLD BEER AND WATER PROVIDED $100.00 CDN ALL INCLUSIVE.

The high water is creating havoc with many boaters in the area being severely affected.
