October 1st, 2011. My two year term as the President of the American Y-Flyer Yacht Racing Association began.
October 1st was the day that Nile Hatcher released the September/October edition of "The Flyer" which is our digital national newsletter. Nile had previously given notice that the November/December issue will be his last as editor. Anyone can take a look at it here: http://www.yflyer.org/Documents/pdf/flyer/flyerSept11.pdf
Also David Robson, our national web site webmaster, notified me that the e-mail received through the web site would now be forwarded to the new officers. Here's the AYFYRA website: http://www.yflyer.org/
October 2nd was the day I co-signed a letter written by class Secretary/Treasurer Paul White to be sent to North Sails with information about a measuring problem with their 2011 sails that was found at our National Regatta.
October 3rd Lavon Hatcher accepted my invitation to be the editor of the "Flyer" which is our national newsletter. She starts her new job on January 1st.
October 5th was the day that our National Secretary/Treasurer presented the "President's Award" to Dale and Virginia Vogel at Lake Mattoon in Illinois on my behalf.
October 9th and 10th doctor j (my crew since 1975) and I attended the Saratoga Lake Sailing Club's Indian Summer Regatta. My AYFYRA northeast regional Vice President, John Smith, also attended. We all had a fantastic time at this great club.
Also that weekend was the Gilbert Beers Memorial Regatta at Y-Flyer fleet 1 at Lake Allatoona near Atlanta, Georgia. Reports are that the Atlanta Yacht Club put on a great regatta with John Bright (Louisville, KY) and crew Andrea Bright (Auburn) winning.
Today, October 11th, I've been working on my new boat trailer getting it ready for a weekend trip to the Western Carolina Sailing Club at Lake Hartwell for the Hospice Regatta.
And so it begins........
el presidente
