Dear Members of the PLYC,
 
I wanted to reach out to thank each of you who played a role in my mom’s beautiful memorial sail. To be honest, I wasn’t sure what to expect but the day could not have been more perfect. All of the boats gathered at the JI, sentiments echoed across channel 72, tossing of the flowers and the boats continuing to circle was truly amazing. It was a welcomed mix of family and friends sailing on Haleakala that day, sharing memories with laughter and playing her favorite music that also brought great comfort to my dad, daughter and I.
 
A huge thanks to Elyn Coyle. She went above and beyond helping coordinate the sail, the planting of my mom’s purple hydrangea, the plaque and getting the purple flowers. Thanks to Jeremy & Glo for the amazing stencil of the purple cats on Haleakala and for the purple pirate cat flag! WOW!! I’ll never forget all of your incredible kindness. And for those who did work behind the scenes, thank you too!!
 
Some have asked me about the prayer from Haleakala:
 
Heavenly Father,
You know how deeply we miss my mother. How our hearts ache for her and always will. Yet we are filled with an immeasurable gratitude for her life and how she is with us still. She is so clearly seen in my father, my sister and I. In her grandchildren and great grandchildren. She lives on in all of us in her kindness and deep love of family. Her compassion for others and especially her love of animals. Her sense of joy and fun. Her beautiful smile and infectious laughter. Her love of life. That is her legacy, her gift to us. The love and the goodness in each of us came through her and will always be with us forever. We thank you for the PLYC & their continued support and love they show to all of us to honor my mother. Father we thank you for the great gift of her life! Amen
 
Thank you to each and every member who showed up! We loved seeing all of the purple, hearing the heartfelt thoughts about my mom and we’re especially grateful for the love & respect you continue to show in honoring my mother’s memory.
 
With love and gratitude,
 
Gina Bono-Jenkins

There is a new training video on sailing trimming on the member resource page. It’s a very worthwhile explanation of the nuances and dynamics of trimming. Be sure to see the other y informative videos on the same page. I found the one on tying a cleat hitch a good one.

Greetings All.
This weekend sailing will be to honor the Memory of Barbara Bono on Saturday 9/10. The plan is to muster out at the JI Buoy on Saturday at 2:30 PM to Honor the life of our Friend, Wife, Mother, Grandmother & Great Grandmother. Flowers will be offered & words shared (ch 72).
All those interested in participating please meet at D dock at 1:00

Sunday 9/10 Spirit Rider:
The PLYC will muster in about 30’ of water just east of the Round house at 10:00 to organize a missing man formation to pass in front of the Ocean Club at 10:15
If you can fly a flag at half mast/halyard that would be appropriate.

Thank you,
BobT
