Commodores Cruise to Petaluma

Thank you to Commodore Larry and Linda Wolfe for organizing a great cruise toPetaluma over Fathers Day Weekend. After a rough San Pablo Bay crossing onFriday, even the weatherman cooperated with sunny, breezy warm weather the restof the weekend. Highlight of the cruise was the tour of Keller Estate Winery andthe incredible collection of antique automobiles garaged at the winery. Larry re-

ported that it took months of telephone tag to arrange the trip but all agreed it waswell worth it. In addition to 9 NVYC boats, many members arrived by Land Yacht

to join the fun.

July is the halfway point ofour year and time to lookbackward as well as for-

ward. It is also the time of theyear to take stock and reviewthe goals that we set for our-selves and evaluate how well wehave fulfilled those expecta-tions. I am sure you can feelproud of what has beenachieved in the past six months:

ABC liquor license for thedeck, BBQ & Bocce Ball

court Signed lease with the city Website with domain name New electrical on the dock Two new TVs with blue

tooth DVD Stainless steel refrigerator New handicap bathrooms Security cameras And, by the time you read

this our galley will be com-

plete.

We all volunteer in an all-volunteer organization. None ofus is compelled to do so but wedo it for the club and, you arethe club. We are on a roll.The big projects are behind us.Hang on. The real fun is justabout to begin.

The bar needs volunteers

for the rest of the year.

Please contact me if you

want to help. Thank you.

Improvements being madeto the galley and bathroomsare finished. These projects

would not have been possiblewithout the donated time andenergy by many of our members.

Power on the dock is still be-ing worked on to fix someglitches but the work is intendedto make our dock safer.
