No extra Respectfully submitted, Windword Page 3 2013 FLEET CAPTAINS FROM THE COMMODORE After some time off in August, we have the ball rolling again at the Club. From Keelboat Racing Fleet Labor Day to mid-October is usually the best time of the year for sailing at Bob McGinnis Keystone. The water is warm and the temperatures and winds are usually good. 918-629-9308 We did have a little shot of high water, but it is back down. However my yard [email protected] always seems to be high with all that rain. Compliments to the Catalina 25 & 27 group for a wonderful Labor Day brunch. It was really great with a huge turnout. Those guys really know what they are MC Scow doing, and it shows. From the bar to the cooks they really had it down. We also Grant Gerondale had a good turnout for the long distance race. We had a mostly sunny day with [email protected] wind that averaged 8mph. The great thing is we scored 14 boats that finished out 918-241-0675 of 17 that started. We had a few complaints about the slow scoring results, but as PRO, the RC was having a good time too. Maybe someone will develop an app to help us out on that scoring. Congratulations to Grant Gerondale sailing a MC Scow Centerboard Racing Fleet to take the overall win. Harvey Baker won the keelboat class. Mark and Nancy Darrel Daniel Lobo won the Van Dyne Trophy as the first Catalina 22 to finish. 918-865-2719 So on to the Sail For Steve Charity Regatta. What a success. When we started [email protected] to put the thing together we didn't have any great aspirations. Just help out a char - ity, the ALS Patient Services Outreach. Steve Snider had come into contact with this group as an ALS patient. The result is a generous cash donation from the Windycrest members. Over $13,000, twice as much as I had had hoped for. I am Catalina 22 so happy for Steve and Mary, as this really means so much for them to help oth - Dean Kohlwey ers with ALS. Please find a thanks list elsewhere in the Windword for everyone 918-494-3023 who helped with the event. [email protected] MC's are going to sponsor a Cook You Own Steak dinner at the MCSW regatta Mark Westerman on October 5th. Dinner includes live music from the Klondike Five String Band. All 316-393-4419 for only $15 bucks. The catch is you need to sign-up via the reservation page on [email protected] the WSC site. It should be a great evening. Elsewhere in the Windword you'll find a small changed proposed for the by-laws. It has to do with how we run our meetings. I know I am not much on official deco - Thistle rum or how to go about it. But I see no harm as long as we can all get our points Fred Morgan across. 918-245-6419 After 3 years at the helm of the Windword, Barbara Montalbano will be stepping [email protected] down as editor. I would like to thank her on behalf of all of us for the great job she had done. She has whipped us all into shape as far as getting our articles in in a timely manner. The flyers are great and she gets our postcards out too. As Barbara +95 Fleet/Sunfish steps back we will be searching for a replacement for Windword editor. If you have Skeeter Chilton lots of creativity, a little tech savvy, and some spare time each month to do the job 918-346-9518 justice, the Club could use it. Please consider contributing to the Club as [email protected] Windword editor. Finally, next month is our annual meeting. I'm already looking forward to the brisket dinner that the C-dock created for last year's meeting. Rex Donley, Steve C27/25 Horn, and Ken Brooks did an awesome job last year and are on board to do Mike & Tracy Lang briskets again this year. The nominations for the 2014 Board of Governors are list - 918-242-3855 ed in this Windword. If members wish to submit additional nominations please C27/[email protected] send or email the nomination to me at [email protected] by October 9, 2013. Hope to see you on the water soon, Danny Ziegler Windword Page 4 Windword Editor: VICE COMMODORE’S REPORT Barbara Montalbano Sorry I missed last month's article.
