2012 PLAN FEST for 2013 Events
On Saturday, December 1, our PLAN FEST for 2013 Events was
held at the Lighthouse Restaurant in Colonial Beach in the Captains Lounge.
Afterwards we had lunch in the Restaurant, then some proceeded on to Bill
Bowman's boat Cherish to participate in the evening Lighted Boat Parade
sponsored by the Colonial Yacht Center. |
| |
Carey, our Rear Commodore, arranged the PLAN FEST to
mutually develop our 2013 boating schedule. The Captains Lounge was
the ideal spot to gather and the Blount's treated us to refreshments and
their always generous and genial hospitality. |
 |
 |
| |
But, before getting started on the schedule we welcomed Phil
and Patti Rogers to the Club. In the picture at right Patti accepted
their new burgee, while Phil Rogers attended the PRYCA Board meeting in the
room below us. He is the rising Fleet Captain for PRYCA in 2013.
At far right Ralph and Kris present the WYA Club a
signature signboard plaque that Ralph had made after he started our club in
2005. A handsome sign board that we'll post somewhere very soon.
This generous presentation earns Ralph and Kris a spot in our Wall of Fame.

With opening business concluded, we settled in to discussing
the 2013 boating season. Lots of excellent ideas and interest.
We're a lively group and it's going to be a stellar year! |
 |
 |
| |
With the draft schedule committed to paper and float captains
noted, we agreed that it would be sent out to all members for comment, then
updated and posted to the web page. We put our pens down and headed to
the Lighthouse for lunch. We overtook the room with our crew and our
motivational and enlightening conversations!?? Phil and Patti, our new
members, are shown at far right ... Phil had returned from his PRYCA Bridge
meeting. |

Bill and Donna -- ready to have lunch.
We were going to decorate Bill Bowman's boat Cherish and participate in
the Colonial Yacht Club sponsored Lighted Boat Parade at Colonial Beach.
You see Bill contemplating what to do next as the group started arriving. |

Richard Racine takes a break and strikes a pose as he toiled away, stringing
the lights along Cherish. We earned the boat 2nd Place in
the Lighted Boat Parade and Bill will take his spot in the "Wall
of Fame." Richard is a member of Colonial Yacht Club.
Bill drives us into the looming evening fog as his trusty mate
Shannon looks on or looks askance.

Ah, another typically gorgeous sunset on Monroe Bay as we proceeded out to
the River for the parade line-up. Some of the 25 crew members donned
their parkas, hats and gloves and headed to the bow....retreating inside for
the occasional refill. |
 |
 |
| |
And here is a picture of Cherish with her bow lighted and some of the gang
enjoying the winter evening. At far right is another boat lighted for
the parade. Cherish won 2nd place for her decorations. |
 |
 |
| |
Last minute decorating touches as more lights are merrily put in place and
the even better parade of delicious dishes and required libations warmed
us....bodies and souls! We excel at buffet and bar teamwork. |
