After an overnight at Richmond City Marina, Perseverando, carrying cruise leader Kevin Morton and crew Suzanne and (her daughter) Kate and Allegro carrying Roy Moore and brother-in-law Ted Myers set out for the waters near Alcatraz Island for the Navy show. We were too late for the parade of ships, but the festival that was the air show dispelled any disappointment concerning the parade. Allegro did it's best at aerobatic performance enroute. Crossing the Illustration 4: Carolyn & Ron Hitchcock receive wake of a passing ferry, Allegro drove onto 3rd place cruising points award. the wave, lifting bow skyward, then dropped into the trough with an resounding kerwomp. No harm,--all part of the fun. From the host of boats,one might think that everyone in the Bay Area was afloat. Though the claim that one could walk from Crissie Field to Alcatraz from deck to deck exaggerates a lot (fortunately for the skippers), the horizon was completely blocked toward the Golden Gate. Roy found and hailed both the Lady Washington and the Hawaiian Chieftain, but couldn't find old shipmates among the current crews.

Reflecting back, I would be remiss if I didn't give credit for all the great things that have happened this year to those of you who worked so hard to make the Austin Yacht Club what it is today. At the risk of sounding trite, having a club that we can all be proud of is a lot like winning a race. The crew does all the work and makes anything possible; the skipper only chooses which direction to go. Without the unselfish dedication of the member­ ship that we have, we wouldn't have the club that we have now.
