Editor’s Note:
It’s been more than a while since we’ve been
able to get out a Waterlines, but I wanted to
share with the membership the story of Dick
Bassett — one that I hope will not be forgotten
in the story of Grand Traverse Bay. This year’s
Annual Regatta sees the inaugural awarding not
the Dick Bassett Trophy for the Either Way
Around The Island Race. I hope it is a fitting,
albeit small, way to commemorate such a
unique life.
Cheers,
Jordan Owen
General Manager
