Frostbite Race and Dinner
The Frostbite Dinner, September 8th , hosted by Roxanne and Dan Branson, Gail & Randy Rice and Greg and Sarah Gardner, was superb. The decorations were spectacular, with LED candles on each table, and bright Fall colors. Dinner started with a tasty fresh green salad, followed by warm Italian bread sticks with three Italian sauces for the three choices of pasta, and a Chocolate Sundae
dessert. Roxanne’s Alfredo Sauce from the master chef: Equal parts of butter, cream and parmesan cheese Warm gently and stir together. Adding a little cream cheese is optional. As the mixture thickens, add a little dry Vermouth to thin the sauce as necessary. YUMMY!
Halloween Party There were some great
costumes. Mike
Manning was Judge
Kavanaugh, and Mara
was a sailor just
returning from the Mac
race. Dottie Ford was also a sailor, and Tom was a
Mexican Bandito, Dave Anthony was Father Time and
Cindy was Mother Nature. Sue Clifton had a great
Steampunk costume
on. Mary Harris was a
fisherman and Steve
was a big ass bass. Greg and Sarah Gardner came as the
Gardners. First place went to Mother Nature, and a tie for
second to Judge Kavanaugh and Father Time.

Three Escanaba Boats Sail off to the Sunset
‘Livin’ the Dream–a Hunter 45,
owned by Tom & Cindy Burgess
- sailed from Escanaba, planning
to go down through the
Tennessee-Tombigbee waterway
to Florida and the Bahamas
Tom & Diane Gialdini have been rebuilding
“Gayle Marie” an Endeavor, which they sailed and
motored up the St. Lawrence River five years ago
to Vinette Boatworks. They were delayed going
south in October, and were hauled out at
Marinette/Menominee.
Phil and Barb on the Baba,
Stormy Duchess, after ~ five
years of working on their boat
at Vinette Boatworks. also set
sail in October. The jaunty
bright yellow “Catspaw
Pram,” dinghy Phil built from plans by Graham Byrne at B&B Yacht Design. Two
other Catspaw prams have been built by Escanaba boaters. Bob Fouts built his
dinghy for SanSouci, and “Meander” is a “Twopaw” nesting dinghy built by Glen
Brown for “Adena”.
We wish all three boats safe and wonderful adventures!
