Remember the Awards Ban-

quet December 14th. One

week earlier then the usual

dinner meetings. Tickets will

be on sale starting at the

October meeting.

Safe boating to you all and

may the sun shine on you

always!

Wow! What a great boating

season we have had. Susan

and I enjoyed the vacation

connection at Port Town-

send, a great job by Bill and

Peggy Allen and crew. Then

we headed up north with

friends. We met more mem-

bers at Pender Harbor and

had a great time then went

our separate ways only to

meet up at Bowen Island for

one day on our way home.

We missed the Andrews Bay

cruise, but heard it was the

best yet. Thank you Chris

and crew.

The Labor Day cruise to Port

Orchard was awesome and

as usual Rich and Echo and

crew did a fantastic job. The

food was out of this world. A

big “THANK YOU” to every-

one that participated.

There are still lots of fun

stuff to come before the end

of the year. Be sure and

check your calendar be-

cause you do not want to

miss a single event.

Fleet Captain Report - Mike Thompson

Garry & Sharon Moore put

on a feast for all to have.

We had chicken and BBQ

ribs for Saturday's dinner

and Sunday's dinner was a

boil that was fantastic. I was

asked if I would like to go on

a sail and how could I say

no? Bradley Byrd took Garry

Moore and I in his sail boat.

We had a great time out

there in front of Bremerton

sailing and we got back in

time for dinner. I can't wait

till next cruise to Port Or-

chard.

Man what a GREAT summer

at last! We have had some

great cruises this summer

so far. It started with the

Vacation Connection cruise

to Port Townsend. Bill &

Peggy Allen did a fantastic

job with the food. They had

a great crew to help with the

food. I have to hand it to the

Allen's for coming even

though they had no boat.

Their boat was broke but

they were the cruise cap-

tains and they made it.

Paula made a game of going

through the town and find-

ing cards at all of the shops.

We had 18 boats and 3

RVs.

Chris Kullmann out did him-

self this year for the An-

drews Bay cruise. We had

great weather and a great

crew. Tim & BryAnna

opened up their boat for the

club to use for the food and

gathering point. We had 16

boats and a lot of great kids

to keep the adults enter-

tained. That is all I am going

to say about Andrews Bay

because what happens in

Andrews Bay stays in An-

drews Bay, right Trina!

We just got back from the

Labor Day cruise in Port

Orchard. The marina man-

agement could not have

been better to work with

and they even gave us a

free night of moorage to

give away. Rich & Echo

Vice Commodore’s Report - Peggy Allen

Summer!! Better late than

never. What a surprise to

have such gorgeous warm

weather into September.

The slow start to summer

hasn’t kept our members

from cruising. I have heard

that many of our members

went north and found great

weather. For those of on

the lake there were many

great week-ends at Andrews

Bay. I can’t wait to hear

everyone’s cruising adven-

tures when we meet again

this month.

Now that fall is upon us it’s

time to start thinking about

the Fall Work Party on Octo-

ber 1. There are plenty of

maintenance jobs to be

done and gardening chores

as well as just cleaning up

and preparing the club for

winter. It’s amazing how

many people turn out to

pitch in for these work par-

ties and how much gets

accomplished. It’s not just

hard work. It’s one of the

best team building events

I’ve ever been participated

in.

The Commodore’s Ball is

less than two months away.

Our Commodore Bill Dils will

be honored for his dedica-

tion and leadership on No-

vember 5. The plans for

the evening are underway.

There will be food, music,

and a tribute to Bill and Sue.

Please mark the date on

your calendar. This is an

event you will not want to

miss.

We’ll see you at the Septem-

ber meeting. Take care and

be safe.

Summer has gone by in a

flash! It is hard to believe

that another summer cruis-

ing season is coming to a

close. We got Anna off to

college (Willamette Univer-

sity) and I am fortunate

enough to be writing these

words while swinging on the

hook in Prevost Harbor off

of Stuart Island. We have

enjoyed good weather and

almost all the crab we can

eat.

I have a lot of great memo-

ries from this summer. From

kicking off Dock Fridays to a

fun packed 4th of July, I've

spent more time on the club

docks this summer than I

have in all previous years

combined. Add to that the

summer cruises and im-

promptu get-togethers with

club friends and it reaffirms

the true joys of being part of

the club.

Before summer completely

slips away, we think we

should send it off in grand

PSYC style. Patrick Kolanda

and the Morton's are work-

ing to put together an End of

Summer Party on the Dock.

This will be a live music

event with the fabulous

blues band Mary Mcpage

and the Assassins. We are

still working to confirm the

details but put a hold on

your calendars for Friday,

Sept 30th. The plan calls for

a dockside BBQ and side

dish potluck. The details are

being finalized, so look for

information at the meeting

and via email. This looks to

be an epic event!

Hot on the heals of this

party comes a PSYC corner-

stone event, the Wine Tour.

This year's tour is headed to

the Tri-Cities. Judy Quick has

put together a wonderful

tour this year. For you veter-

ans of the tour, it will oper-

ate a bit differently from

previous years. Rather than

following a set schedule,

Judy has put together an

exciting list of suggested

wineries to visit at your own

pace. This gives you the

option to spend more time

at your favorites or try to hit

them all in rapid fire. You

can then compare notes

and share stories when we

all come together for the

great meals. More details

can be found elsewhere in

this issue or feel free to con-

tact Judy via phone or email.

While the summer cruising

season is ending, we are

entering a period of some of

my favorite weather and

some great fall boating.

Also, keep an eye on your

email and in Sound Waves

because I still have a few

surprises up my sleeve for

the last half of the year.
