Obviously a few boats were willing to go the extra mile to participate. Afterward, we had an open pot luck dinner and grill-out at the clubhouse.

    Straphanger (10 Points If You Know Where That Name Came From!) and Press Releases

    EST 1941 July 2020 Edition July 2020 Commodore’s Comment Well the season got off with a bang, perhaps not a huge bang but a worthwhile one all the same. It was pleasing to see such a roll-up for the Trophy Presentation. Thank-you to all concerned. Congratulations to those who won trophies, and I must say that, as dancers we make much better sailors! Well done, Maria! We are certainly enjoying beautiful Queensland weather at the moment, and it was picture perfect for the first racing of the season, as it was last Saturday. Much better than sailing colleagues have down south. Speaking of ‘down south’, most of you would have heard by now, the news that the Cruising Yacht Club of Australia, the most prestigious yacht club in Australia, has had to implement their full Covid response plan. It is a timely reminder that, although here in our area we seem to be relatively “safe” and clear of the virus, we do not need complacency when it comes to our own Covid Safety Plan. All members are responsible to maintain vigilance with COVID-19 safe practices such as social distancing, good hand hygiene and to monitor for symptoms. If you have symptoms or feel un-well, please do not attend events. I realise that this type of safety measure is foreign to us all however, those of us who attend work places, cafes, bars, restaurants, and other community social gathering areas, have all experienced Covid safety plans. It is no different for our Club. We cannot fail also, to support the management of The Gladstone Yacht Club, our leasee, in these endeavours.

    Bay Breeze October 2020 http://www.escanabayachtclub.com/ The Escanaba Yacht Club Clubhouse will be closed and locked for the season by mid-October. Thanks to Dan Branson, Cindy Anthony and Bob Rosenfeldt for their time and expertise to winterize the Clubhouse. Finances: Oct 12, 2020 Checking $3155.74 Building Fund $6,637.30 The 2 rentals this season, managed by Roxanne Branson, earned $600 for the Building Fund which is used to make necessary repairs and improvements to the Clubhouse. There were 2 additional cancellations due to the Coronavirus, and 1 reservation for 2021. During the colder months, EYC meetings are planned for the second MONDAY of November – April, 7PM, as a ZOOM meeting, until conventional “around the table” meetings can be held. All members are welcome to attend. The EYC welcomes the new Harbormaster, Shayne Sanville, with a big thank you to Larry Gravatt for his “11 years of leadership with unwavering dedication to the harbor, boats & boat owners, EYC members and visitors”. Halloween Party is cancelled. The Annual Banquet at the Terrace Ballroom, usually scheduled for the coldest night in January, has been cancelled due to the Coronavirus pandemic. The EYC Board will be assessing the Coronavirus situation, and hopes to schedule an Annual Banquet & Meeting in the spring. The Election of Officers and Directors ballots will be mailed to members, the returns compiled and the results will be published along with a 2021 EYC Calendar and List of Officers and Directors. 2020 Race Results are posted on the EYC website: http://escanabayachtclub.com/racing.html Considering the constraints on social gathering, the EYC sailing competition went smoothly, on some really lovely sailing days – and a few cold windy days.

His job is to make sure when you drive away after a service at BMW Sydney, your car looks as good as the day you drove it off the showroom floor. And we can honestly say, when it comes to detail, no one is as driven as John. Of course, he's not alone. He's only one of five staff dedicated to this sole task. And obviously, we do mean dedicated. It's quite selfish really, but we've always believed that if you look good, so do we. From the way we service your car to the way we serve you a coffee while you wait, it's what makes BMW Sydney a world of BMW.
