From the Commodore  -- September  2008

Hi to all  --  Our most recent event was the group crossing to Silver Bay Marina.  Five boats and 16 people made the trip and then had a great dinner at Northern Lights Roadhouse in Beaver Bay.  The trip over was a little rough! - with high winds (northeast!) and big waves.  Rumor has it that the most popular songs for the crossing that day were the Gilligan’s Island theme song and The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald!  Thankfully, the Sunday return was smoother.   Actually, I heard only positive comments from the group about the marina at Silver Bay and the trip itself.   Looks like we’ll be making this an annual event! 

Well, I hate to think about it, but the season is coming to an end.  It’s time to start thinking about haulout, our PCKC Annual Meeting and of course, Applefest, 2008!
