Solstice Raft-up
The moral of the story is… if you go overboard, make sure you have a good PFD and 3 days provisions.
Haleakala and Jolly Mon braved the fog to celebrate the summer solstice yesterday. Halie would occasionally disappear into the fog as she moved out toward the JI. In a short time, however the sun would break through for short bursts kicking up the wind making for a spirited sail.
As Jolly Mon moved away we noticed Halie was in trouble. She was floundering in circles with sails flapping in all directions. We turned to see what was wrong and lend a hand, only to discover a pillow had accidentally blown off the deck, and they were trying to retrieve it.
Recognizing the opportunity to win the “Clean the Sea” contest the competition was on, two boats chasing one pillow in the water. Jolly had it “on” the net (too big to go in) only to lose it as they tried to get it a board.
By shear intimidation Halie eventually managed to corner it and get it on board. It appears we could both stand a bit more practice.
Then, it was off to the raft-up.
Thank you Mike and Ellen for being the flagship. Thank you Mary Ann, John and Pat, John and Barbara, Charlie, Tom, Jeremy, CJ, Kimball, Bob T and Sasha, and all your guests for coming. I always find it a great way to get to know our members better.
Happy Birthday one more time Sasha!

The Race is On!
Sunday is shaping up to be a nice day. Winds should be kicking up and the sun will be shining with a few clouds.
It will be a great day to start the season with our first official race. The current plan is to “Bless the Fleet” and have bagels, and coffee at the captain’s meeting.
The race departure time is dictated by the tides. Our Race Commodore will provide an NOR with race start time, which may mean leaving early. As soon as we know the start time, we will set a time for the blessing and captain’s meeting.
We need everyone who plans to race to send an email to: members@pointlookoutyc.com Put your name in the subject and just send the message “yes.”
See you on Sunday!

Member Meeting Agenda – June 6
Tribute to John J. Garrett III
In honor of our dear departed comrade John J. Garrett III, our race commodore Bob Todaro took on the task of decorating his boat with flags, and inviting club members to join him in several fly-bys of the Buoy Bar as a demonstration of our sorrow and to celebrate John’s life.
It was an exciting trip in 32 MPH winds that included an accidental jibe, but it ended safely with heartfelt discussions and toasts to his life.
I can tell you that the exercise had enormous meaning to John’s sisters, and although there is no need to thank Bob for taking on the responsibility, I can’t tell you how happy I am that you did what did.
John, we are toasting you for being you. May you rest peacefully and continue to be a reminder of a carefree spirit.
We thank you and miss you.
