Soon we will feel the sun on our face and the wind in our hair. The club will be filled with the hustle and bustle of launching our boats and preparing for another successful sailing season. We are looking forward to the warmer weather and making progress with our plans for a calendar full of fun social events too!

This is the time of year when our days begin to stretch longer as our daylight hours are extended. Life in the form of waxing, repairing, and spring cleaning will fill our quiet club as we transition to spring. Meanwhile, we continue to plan for the new season filled with social events and regattas to fill the souls of our fellow sailors.

Although I was unable to attend the Chili Cookoff, I hear it was a great hit! Thank you Jennifer Curtis and the Knapp gang for taking charge and providing yet one more great event this season!
As we come to a close of the season, Nan Schultz and her committee with Nick Mates is preparing for our Final Bash. We have chosen the theme: Nautical Adventure. It will be hosted at the Marriott North (Keystone at the Crossing) on November 6th. Cocktails begin at 5:30, Dinner at 6:00 and Dancing at 8:00. We will have a door prize drawing at 10:00 for a FREE ECSC 2022 Membership! Cost is $30 per member and $35 for non-members. $50 at the door for those who do not pre-pay RSVP. Please be sure to RSVP by October 30th! Checks can be mailed to Nick Mates. For Zelle payments, please contact Tom Moore. This will also be your last opportunity to vote for next seasons board. Special Room rates are also available for those who wish to get a room for the night!
I will begin putting together our 2022 schedule of events in December. If you have any suggestions or would like to see something new and different on the schedule, please do not hesitate to let me know.
As always, it is a pleasure to serve my fellow sailors!

The 2021 season is quickly coming to a close. The Lobster Fest was a great success! We served 125 Lobsters and 35 steaks. Thank you to Kenneth and Karen Orndorff for hosting and Erich Rose for his steak grilling skills! Bruce and Ethel Brenner and Steve Earnhart for your boiling skills! I continue to receive positive feedback about bringing your own side dishes for your own group.
Our next event is the Hornback Chili Cookoff held on Saturday, October 16th. This event is hosted by Jennifer Curtis and her crew. She always does a great job offering a family-friendly event with fall activities for the kiddos. For those of you who are new to the club, bring your best pot of chili and fixings. Everyone will have a chance to taste and vote on the best pot and then enjoy a full bowl….or two. Start time is roughly 5:00pm following the regatta. Keep an eye out on Facebook and your email for additional details. Save the date for November 6th for the Final Bash! More details to come.
