Dear GBYC Members:

In January of this year your board of directors were re-elected and we only had a few changes. Kevin Williams became Past-Commodore, I moved to Commodore and Mike Wagstaff took my vacated position of Treasurer. As always, I would like to thank those who continue to serve on the board, and always remember we are all just volunteers.

We are well into our 2019 sailing season and have enjoyed many races and socials so far. Over the last few years we have put more emphasis on the social aspect of the club. A call to our members; come out to the socials, sit with people you don’t know, get to know your fellow sailors and in many cases dock neighbours. It only enhances your yachting experience and it is nice to know you can call on someone in a pinch to help you with a problem or just share a beverage with.

The clubhouse repairs are underway, we are unfortunately working on the timetable of the construction company, but this will save us money doing it this way. The new seawall is still being discussed, along with updating our bylaws.

Enjoy the sport, enjoy the facilities, enjoy each other, and don’t be a stranger while walking the docks.

Be careful on the water and see you out there!

Dan Balch
