	8 November 2014 Change of Watch Welcome to our new 2015 Bridge, installed at our annual semi-formal Change of Watch, held at the Riverboat in Colonial Beach. This was a return visit to this venue that graciously catered to our whims....dinner, open bar and music. We provided the entertainment, which we do so well, after much practice on land and water! We thank Dick Elmore and Patti Woodside for taking the pictures you see below.
	George and Buzz looking dapper. Bill and Val enjoying some time with Katherine Smith, the new WYA Secretary and the leader of the decoration committee. Thank you Katherine, for your repeated help with this event and the elegant touch you lent to the party. Helping Katherine with the decorating and clean up were: George and Polly, Shannon and Sue, Erin, Donna, Margot and Jeff. Great Job!
	Dick and Anita and a host of other members catching up with each other.
	Bill, our new Commodore, visiting with George and Carey. Polly enjoying a laugh with Buzz. Missed you, Doris.
	WYA ladies, looking beautiful and a bit dubious about something Anita was saying while Donna and Ralph catch up with each other.
	Shannon, our new Vice Commodore, talking up Bob and Bill the past and present Commodores. Ann, Jean and Carey shamelessly panning for the camera.
	Brad and Clare and Ann and Jack attending the COW for the first time.
	Carey and Phil checking out the decorations that were gracing the tables.
	Jack reading the pamphlet that listed the old and new Bridge plus the schedule for the evening. And, the outgoing and incoming Commodore getting us seated and the events in play.
	Shannon and Sue look on and we get one more look at some of the amazing decorations.
	And more....
	Shannon and Jean getting to the bar for another round while Mike Enos puts a smiley face on his almost empty dinner plate. You'd have to know him to understand......
	Here! Here! Or, is it "Hear!" "Hear?" Let's all sit quietly and behave. For once..
	Working pretty well.....
	Past Commodore Ruth Lovelace makes a pitch to sign up for the Potomac River Yacht Club Association Change of Watch in January where our Immediate Past Commodore Bob Blunt will be installed as the PRYCA Commodore, Phil Rodgers as Vice Commodore and Carey Bolin as a Member At Large for the Bridge . Then, the ritual begins with Commodore Bob starting the Change of Watch with the presentation of the outgoing 2014 Bridge. Thanks to all for your service.
	The 2015 Bridge is presented to the membership and given their officer flags. Our new Commodore Bill Bukevicz assured us all we'd have another great year and we know we will with IPC Bob Blunt, Commodore Bill Bukevicz, Vice Commodore Shannon Ritter, Rear Commodore George Cajigal, Treasurer Anita Elmore and Secretary Katherine Smith. The club is cruising more and longer and the coming year will be no exception.
	The membership thanked Commodore Bob and presented him with a Ship's Bell, suitably engraved, to be installed on his boat.
	Bob presented a handsome memento to the Immediate Past Commodore Phil, I guess hoping he would continue doing the monthly newsletter. Then, Gary Vineyard could wait no longer and headed for the dance floor, with Norma in hand.
	Dick and Anita, - all smiles -and Mike and Kris shaking a tail feather! .
	Joe Head, our DJ kept us smiling and on the floor. Does a fine job .... taking our requests.
	Ralph and Sue had a good laugh while Polly, Carey and Mary Ann posed for a picture. They do that well and often. Where's Gail in all of this?
	Now what are you doing Buzz? Maybe watching you dance was why Bill and Val were smiling.
	Shannon pinned George as Steve looked on and Mike, Phil and Vicky were plotting and planning.
	Here we see George and Norma stepping out on the dance floor and a group that had yet to start dancing. They soon would.
	Phil and Patti were in discussions with Bob, probably about the PRYCA. And, Katherine's decorations reminded us that Life is better on the Boat!
	Can't have a party without "YMCA." Hope that Bill didn't get stuck in that stance.
