Info

So far, we only have one nomination for each position but we can take additional nominations up to the time of the election, including nominations from the floor. However, at this point, the slate of candidates is as follows: Commodore - Richard Windebank Vice Commodore - Adrienne O’Donnell MDR Rear Commodore - Chuck Orlin CIH Rear Commodore - Carl Enson MDR Fleet Captain - Dick Gross CIH Fleet Captain - Patrick Anderson Treasurer - Mike Delaney Secretary - Mark Boykin We will follow the example of CIH and make this a potluck cold buffet, so please bring a dish to share with your fellow members. No kitchen facilities will be available, but Fairwind will provide soft drinks, plates, cutlery, etc. So contributions such as cold meats, salads, deserts, cheese and biscuits etc. will all be appreciated. We also welcome volunteers to help clean up afterwards, so we can leave the room “cleaner than we found it”. A club sail is planned for the afternoon for everyone who would like to participate. Please mark your calendar and save the date. More details will be sent out nearer the time. In the meantime, Wendy and I are heading off to Italy where we will tour by car for two weeks before joining our sons on their boat. We then plan to sail from Malta to Tunisia but, as always, these plans are flexible and we will be happy sailing anywhere. While I am away I am asking Marv Brown to stand in for me so the Club will be in excellent hands. 2
Blue-By-U Finds A Good Home — Locally It’s always sad to say goodbye to an old friend but many of us will be pleased that Blue By U will remain in Marina Del Rey. On Aug. 16, we sold the boat to an enthusiastic racer who is a member of Del Rey Yacht Club, so we helped move the boat over to her new slip. The buyer, by the name of Yvo Kwee, a really nice guy who was born in the Netherlands, is a friend and sailing colleague of Fairwind Member Halli Kristjansson. Yvo plans to race Blue By U and looks forward to competing against Seaweed and a yellow soling in MDR called “Chaos” that was featured in our August Newsletter. We look forward to seeing Blue-By-U out on the water and we hope she will provide many years of happy sailing for her new owner. --Richard Windebank Photo By Halli Krisjansson Yvo Kwee, a member of the Del Rey Yacht Club, is the new owner of Blue By U. 3
