Galiano Island Yacht Club

Here's a Craigslist Post that we've been asked to print far and wide.

Dear Galiano Island Boaters,

This week we were approached by Victor Anthony of the budding Island Futures boat network http://islandfutures.ca to see whether we thought that Galiano's Montague would be a good place to have a fleet gathering for boats from all over the Gulf Islands.

Here's a quick note on a couple of events of interest to the Galiano Yacht Club:

1) Island Futures is a group from Gabriola that has taken up the goal of (re)connecting the islands to each other via a network of private boats. They're coming to visit Galiano Island (Montague Harbour) on Aug 14th. Please come to the POTLUCK that Sunday evening in Montague (details TBD... please RSVP to me).

2) The Saturna Regatta is coming up! Rumours on the web suggest that it'll happen Sept. 3rd. Is your sailboat coming? Is it ready? Do you need help? Do you need crew?

Mark Your Calendars and Get Your Boats Ready.

Hi Galiano Island Boaters,

What would y'all think of having a Galiano Island "Boat Show", round about May 1st?

Good idea? We'd be looking for kayakers, power boaters, sailors, professionals and general enthusiasts to come out and share the season kick off.

Could we converge on the Park Dock? Elsewhere?

Would there be a pub night on the Saturday? Would this go down on the Sunday (to give people the Saturday to get ship shape?)

Would we see lots of boats for sale there?

cheers

Got a sailing dinghy?

Able to bring it Sept. 11th or 12th to Montague?

As mentioned previously, Zeus has called for a race on that weekend. As mentioned, the Sunday conflicts with the Old Fashioned Picnic, and he's proposing moving it to Saturday instead.

Can we get a roll call? I'd love to hear whether there are any folks on this list that would enter a small sailing dinghy, if they have or can find one. We made quite a stir with just three boats last time. Can we double the number this time 'round?

cheers

Christian

Zeus has thrown down a challenge, and invited us all to a dinghy race.

Turns out he's calling for it to happen on the same day at the Old Fashioned Picnic.

Let's get the dinghy racing group together on this one. Thoughts? Ideas?
