South Bay Opening Day is an annual event that is a lot more fun in theory than in practice. This year, even the rowers were not out in force as they had been in the past. There was the usual boat parade and judging and the ceremonial blessing of the fleet by a preacher of some sort. The best part of the day imho was the lunch at the yacht club. This year there was no line and the crew behind the grill was pumping out burgers faster than I could get to them. There looked to be a good sized group inside the club and everyone was busy eating their cheeseburgers, chips, soda and dessert, and talking to old friends and new ones alike. There were several boats from other marinas docking wherever they could and the marina was completely full. My guess is about 60 or 70 people attended the event.
Speaking of events, our first BBQ of the season is happening Saturday May 24. You can rent a boat or use SailMates to get a ride, and go sailing before hand, and then at 5:00pm we will be uncorking the wine and icing the beer and sodas for the early arrivals. We will be Barbecuing burgers, sausages and veggie burgers. The food and beverages are free to club members, and $15 for guests and relatives and only $10 for kids.
