Mid-Summer Race - Wednesday, 12th. Skippers Meeting at 6:00 p.m. The focus of the race is fun! Let's get as many boats and people on the course as possible.
Special race rules requirements. The first requirement is "crew color". Each boat must select a single color for its crew attire - such as red, green, orange, blue, pink, white, black, etc. The boat with the crew displaying the most single color will win a gift certificate to H&H. Possible time penalties for boats lacking adherence to the Mid-Summer Race attire requirement. At the Skippers meeting, there will be additional special race rules declared. If the weather requires rescheduling, the race date will be July 19th.
The post-race social is BTS (bring to share). Asking the skippers and crews to bring hors d'oeuvres, snacks, desert, or drink/cocktail to share. Friends and families are welcome.

Farewell to member Mike 'Suds' Sundstrom: From his days as a teenage 'harbor rat' - Mike's life revolved around the harbor. Mike was the EYC Vice Commodore of Power/Cruise. Mike always had a smile, especially when enjoying his powerboat "Brown Eyed Girl" the nickname for his wife, Phros, who passed away two years ago. We fondly remember his smile and wave, and his Jack Russell Terriers too, as we passed by on the dock! His legacy carries on with son's Nick (Lisa) residing in Denver and Alex of Escanaba who also serves on the EYC Board. Fair winds and smooth seas Suds!
