In Corinthian #5 the racing was fairly close with nine boats competing. Claiming first place was Paul Rendich on Clipper, followed closely in second place by Jim Reichel aboard Silver Bullet. Running this fast paced race were Ken, Debbie & Lauren Goodwin, assisted by Pete Capitain.

This past Sunday was the annual Commodore’s Cup, in which 12 boats vied for the prize. With a constant breeze and a lot of work, all boats finished within 24 minutes of each other. Even His Excellency was out on the water surviving his way around the course aboard Jerry Dunnells’ Chanson. What do we mean by “Surviving”? Mal de la mer! Or, in English, take one familiar with terra firma and place them on a rolling, heeling and rocking sailboat and, well, you get the drift. (Commodore – you did very well & the sailors commend you for your efforts – JM). All of this transpired after the first start was called back since

the majority were over early. After a nine-mile course, first place went to Aileen Eppig’s Brokher. Close behind in second was the Commodore’s flagship Chanson and rounding out the top three was Jim Reichel aboard Silver Bullet.

Helping to make this day a success were Gary & Trudi Guarino, Sandralee Capitain and Lizzie & Christine Mullé with all the food preparation, Larry Schaefer for the last minute use of his Mako and Lainie Mullé who jumped aboard to provide Dad with her comical point of view as to why all those racers who were over early were “BAD” for not listening during the start.

We have a slight break before our next Race – the Louis H. Orr Jr. Invitational on Sunday, October 5th. The final race of the 2008 season will be

---- When Tropical Storm Hanna came to town and threw the brakes on the Beefsteak, Gary & Laura Ferrugiari said, “No problem! We’ll do it next week!” Now THAT is the kind of can-do attitude and calm that makes the BYC great. 74 Members came down to enjoy the evening and true to form, the Ferrugiari’s did a fabulous job. Helping out Gary & Laura were Lew & Maureen Colascione, Cathy McShane, Marc Danin, Roy & Georgeanne Mangiamele, Diane Going, Anthony & Kim Caroselli, Greg & Terry Harris and Joe & Ursula Frazier.
