Volume 64, Issue 1 September 2018 COMMANDER MESSAGE Hello Everyone, Hats off to P/C and current SEO Tom Schmersal for organizing the BOC On the Water certification for IN and CN held last Saturday,

Together we had six or seven members seeking BOC credentials from Toledo and Lima. A member certifier came from Chicago to help, a serious racing sailor who is at a level I will never reach.

Short story: A man from Buffalo, NY joined our local sailing club a few years ago, having started as an engineer for a small manufacturer south of Celina. Dave bought a Hunter 25.

1 Volume 64, Issue 1 September 2018 COMMANDER MESSAGE Hello Everyone, Hats off to P/C and current SEO Tom Schmersal for organizing the BOC On the Water certification for IN and CN held last Saturday, 25 August out of West Harbor on Catawba, and special thanks to certifier P/C Larry Lowe SN CN for putting up with all of us. Together we had six or seven members seeking BOC credentials from Toledo and Lima. A member certifier came from Chicago to help, a serious racing sailor who is at a level I will never reach. It was truly a thrill simply to be there. And the weekend started Thursday when we helped at the Cedar Point Boat Show. Short story: A man from Buffalo, NY joined our local sailing club a few years ago, having started as an engineer for a small manufacturer south of Celina. Dave bought a Hunter 25.5 from a club member, tuned it up and encouraged the rest of the racing fleet to see if we could catch him we couldn t. RCR Yachts is a large dealer and brokerage in Buffalo, with which I am familiar from looking at boats. Dave was able to retire early to become the RCR agent in western Lake Erie, based in Sandusky. They insist he sail around in a new 41 Beneteau Oceanis, to try to sell it at boat shows, and to generate traffic for the rest of their offerings. When Dave Bertsch, a fairly new member from Sandusky and I finished our time, we went to walk the docks, and I told him on one of the sailboats was probably a guy I know. First pier, first boat, there sits my friend from Buffalo on his new 41, shirt pressed perfectly with a grin on his face one can have only when things have been going very well. Indeed. The next E Board meeting is Thursday, 6 Sept at the Allentown church. Then for October we will have Mr. John Myers, who spoke to us before, telling the story this time about his recent crewing adventure, delivering a 43 sailboat from Ecuador, through the Panama Canal and to Florida. Four weeks at sea, if you can imagine that. It will be Thursday, 4 October at the St. Marys Boat Club, and I think we re doing the Past Commanders spaghetti dinner. E Board will meet at 1700 with dinner at Have a safe and joyous Labor Day weekend. Be well, Cdr. Brad Barton SNN C ALANDER O F E VENTS THURS. SEPT. 6 EBOARD MTG ALLENTOWN CHURCH, LIMA THURS.

Brad and I have been so incredibly busy this summer.

Summer has been so very nice but it seems we have not sailed nearly enough. I am hoping for Fall sailing.

There is nothing like having a crisp hot tea on the boat looking at the fall foliage. Anyway, we should have some beautiful days ahead!

Brad and I are excited about the trip. Unfortunately, we will not have our boat at Lake Erie but we are planning to meet everyone at the dock!

Just a reminder we have an E Board meeting coming up on Thursday, September 6 at 7:30 at the Allentown Church.
