April proved to be quite a social month for our families. First,<br />
Opening Day with the Blessing of the Fleet was a wonderful<br />
afternoon. Congratulations to Steve & Lesa Stack’s “Stack<br />
Shack” for their 1st place prize for Best Dressed Powerboat.<br />
Gilligan’s Island has never been so much fun to watch! Thanks<br />
to Wendi & Jeff Fairchild’s agreeing to wear sombreros and moustaches<br />
to help “Mucho Gusto” win the prize for Best Dressed Sailboat!<br />
The Easter Brunch was phenomenal, with Big Billy the Clown’s magic<br />
show & balloons, the Easter Egg Hunt where more than 1,400 eggs were<br />
found, and the Easter Bunny’s appearance. What a delightful day thanks to<br />
our wonderful PYC staff and tireless volunteers who made it all happen!<br />
NEW DATE NIGHT WITH BABYSITTING<br />
Then to conclude the month, we had our fi rst of hopefully many-to-come<br />
“Date Nights” complete with babysitters at the <strong>Club</strong>. Be sure to watch your<br />
email and for fl yers at the club announcing future Date Night events.<br />
For the month of <strong>May</strong>, we are working on another Family Fun dinner so<br />

CRUISER’S CORNER<br />
JIM & LINDA OYLER<br />
Another raft-up and another dire weather<br />
prediction. An expected 30 knot blow and a 15<br />
degree drop in temperature did not deter 7 boats<br />
from enjoying the March raft-up in Little Sabine.<br />
We all arrived before the cold front and took extra<br />
precautions with our anchors. Many others arrived by land yacht bringing<br />
a delightful array of side dishes to compliment the roast pork. A big thank<br />
you goes to <strong>Pensacola</strong> Beach <strong>Yacht</strong> <strong>Club</strong> for their warm hospitality. The<br />
weather did change dramatically. The wind increased as the temperature<br />
decreased but Sunday morning found all 7 boats riding safely at anchor. By<br />
all accounts, the pub crawl was a rousing success and all crawlers survived<br />
without incident. Sunday brunch brought even more fun and camaraderie,<br />
not to mention more wonderful food. This was a great raft-up in spite of the<br />
weatherman.<br />
