No other state in New ·. England or anywhere on the Atlantic Coast has so many easy Y. to reach friendly little island communities. Herc in Casco Bay things are happening. New oppor- tunities for either year round or seasonal living; new small business investments; new horizons for educational and re­ search activity where proximity to the sea is an inducement - all this and much more lies in the present and future plans · for Maine islands. To move forward carefully with quality more important than quantity; to maintain leisurely pace while improving services; to make among these island havens the kind of livability which brings satisfaction for newcomers as well as , longtimers - is a worthy goal. Maine invites ycu, and Casco Bay welcomes you, partic­ Y ularly, to spend a day, a vacation or the rest of your life on a delightful and scenic island.

    HOME OF THE FRIENDLIEST PEOPLE ON THE BAY 37º 12′ 20″ N 76º 26′ 11″ W August 2020 Volume #40, Number 8 WWW.SEAFORDYACHTCLUB.COM Hello SYC! We finally got to see each other in person last month. Maybe we should have a new directory made with pictures of everyone wearing their masks. It's sometimes hard to rec- ognize someone who you haven't seen in six months especially when they are wearing a mask. I had to do a few double takes to see and figure out who I was talking to! The twice postponed Flag Raising ceremony finally happened on July 12th. Past Commodore Cecil and Barbara Adcox did a wonderful job of decorating and adapting the event to meet the new Phase 3 guidelines. I guess boating season is finally open! Our new building is finally complete. The Fire Marshall's inspection passed, final inspection with York County passed, and we have a Certificate of Occupancy! It's been a long process but well worth it. The front of our Clubhouse gives an awesome first impression as you're driving onto the Club property. Inside decorating and furnishings are coming along. Junior Sailing got off to a great start (after a two week Coronavirus delay). Thanks Paul Hutter and Red Eilenfield for another great season. Due to the large number of people anticipated and concerns about social distancing on the spectator boats, the end of the year regatta has been canceled. Well, our joyride into Phase 3 didn't last too long. Due to the limitations imposed in the Governor's latest Executive Order 68, we had to postpone the Summer Party (August 1st ) and cancel the next regular monthly dinner (August 18th.).
