Opening Day 2008

Opening Day 2008 has come and gone. I (Bob) brought the boat in Portage Bay on the last Sunday of April. The wind was calm, but very cloudy. Not much fun. No real drama.

Gone With The Wind was stern tied at the end of the Seattle Yacht Club's temporary Opening Day dock, name Dock 0 (yes it is just South of Dock 1). This was Helly's first Opening Day, and she was quite a hit. She spent much of Friday under the dodger watching the world go bye. I expect she will be a lot of fun on the big cruise this summer.

To everyone who was on Dock 0, thank you for a great year. We had a great time catching up with our friends from other clubs, and cannot wait to see everyone out and about on Puget Sound this summer.
