Midwinter Cruise and Valentine's Day Dinner – Feb 13
I don’t know if GFLYC has done a winter cruise in the past but it is one of the new events on this year’s calendar. Obviously, sailing in the winter can be on the cool side. However, each season of the year has its own benefits. In the winter, you often have a nice breeze, you have the lake to yourself, you can look for eagles, and you can see more detail along the shoreline. Sailors and boats will gather around Q and R docks at Eden Isle Marina at 10:00 am and, depending on wind and weather conditions, decide on a destination for the cruise. At the destination, we will probably raft-up for lunch and then plan to be back at the marina by 3:30-4:00. Several of the club Admirals have convinced the men to take them to the Valentine’s Day Dinner at the Red Apple Inn in the evening. The Inn will have a buffet with prime rib, spinach and blue cheese stuffed chicken breast, and orange roughy as the entrees. They will also have a salad bar and dessert bar. The meal will be accompanied by a strolling violinist and backup singers. The cost for the evening is $27 + tax + tip. Groups of 9 or more require a reservation. So, if you would like to join us as a group, contact Bill Lammers (Commodore link on the club website) as soon as possible.

Shiloh (Taylor) Island Race – Feb 27
Our next club race will be an island race with Shiloh Island as the furthest mark on the course. The specific course will be determined on the day of the race. Wind conditions will be considered in an attempt to plan a race that will be about 3 hours long. Skippers and those interested in crewing should meet on Q-dock at Eden Isle Marina at 11:00 to get instructions. We will start the race at 12:00 noon.
We encourage those who have not raced before to join us. Racing is a great opportunity to play with
your sail controls in order to achieve optimum speed toward a destination.
As always, our club also encourages those who would like to sail along as crew to meet with us on the dock so that we can put you on a boat. This is a great way to be introduced to sailing and/or racing. For dinner, everyone (racers,GFLYC January, 2009 nonracers, guests) is invited to meet at 6:00 at Larry’s pizza in Heber Springs (down the street from WalMart). |

010 is an all new year for the Greer's Ferry Lake Yacht Club. We have completely revamped the type of activities we will be having. Many new boating events on the water have been planned with the focus being more on fun cruising type events rather than dedicated structured races. Die hard racers, don't morn the loss of racing, there will still be racing and racing events, but our goal is to get more people involved in sailing activities in general. To accomplish that we have come up with an ALL NEW CALENDAR of EVENTS! |
