Sailpast - June 12, 2010

The weather for sailpast this year wasn't great. Cool, showers and a strong east wind making for pretty lumpy conditions on the lake. In consideration of the weather, a decision was made early in the day that instead of asking members to sail their boats past the Commodore and Club Flag Officers on the lake, that the Commodore would ride through the harbour on one of the club boats and members would acknowledge him by dipping their ensigns. Despite a light rain shower, the Commodore Peter Howells made his way through the harbour greeting all of the members accordingly. As per tradition, skippers acknowledged by dipping their boat ensigns and offering Peter various refreshments. It was a nice day despite the weather enjoyed by all.
