Safe boating to you all and

Wow! What a great boating
season we have had. Susan
and I enjoyed the vacation
connection at Port Town-
send, a great job by Bill and
Peggy Allen and crew. Then
we headed up north with
friends. We met more mem-
bers at Pender Harbor and
had a great time then went
our separate ways only to
meet up at Bowen Island for
one day on our way home.
We missed the Andrews Bay
cruise, but heard it was the
best yet. Thank you Chris
and crew.
The Labor Day cruise to Port
Orchard was awesome and
as usual Rich and Echo and
crew did a fantastic job. The
food was out of this world. A
big “THANK YOU” to every-
one that participated.
There are still lots of fun
stuff to come before the end
of the year. Be sure and
check your calendar be-
cause you do not want to
miss a single event.

Fleet Captain Report - Mike Thompson
Garry & Sharon Moore put
on a feast for all to have.
We had chicken and BBQ
ribs for Saturday's dinner
and Sunday's dinner was a
boil that was fantastic. I was
asked if I would like to go on
a sail and how could I say
no? Bradley Byrd took Garry
Moore and I in his sail boat.
We had a great time out
there in front of Bremerton
sailing and we got back in
time for dinner. I can't wait
till next cruise to Port Or-
chard.
Man what a GREAT summer
at last! We have had some
great cruises this summer
so far. It started with the
Vacation Connection cruise
to Port Townsend. Bill &
Peggy Allen did a fantastic
job with the food. They had
a great crew to help with the
food. I have to hand it to the
Allen's for coming even
though they had no boat.
Their boat was broke but
they were the cruise cap-
tains and they made it.
Paula made a game of going
through the town and find-
ing cards at all of the shops.
We had 18 boats and 3
RVs.
Chris Kullmann out did him-
self this year for the An-
drews Bay cruise. We had
great weather and a great
crew. Tim & BryAnna
opened up their boat for the
club to use for the food and
gathering point. We had 16
boats and a lot of great kids
to keep the adults enter-
tained. That is all I am going
to say about Andrews Bay
because what happens in
Andrews Bay stays in An-
drews Bay, right Trina!
We just got back from the
Labor Day cruise in Port
Orchard. The marina man-
agement could not have
been better to work with
and they even gave us a
free night of moorage to
give away. Rich & Echo

Vice Commodore’s Report - Peggy Allen
Summer!! Better late than
never. What a surprise to
have such gorgeous warm
weather into September.
The slow start to summer
hasn’t kept our members
from cruising. I have heard
that many of our members
went north and found great
weather. For those of on
the lake there were many
great week-ends at Andrews
Bay. I can’t wait to hear
everyone’s cruising adven-
tures when we meet again
this month.
Now that fall is upon us it’s
time to start thinking about
the Fall Work Party on Octo-
ber 1. There are plenty of
maintenance jobs to be
done and gardening chores
as well as just cleaning up
and preparing the club for
winter. It’s amazing how
many people turn out to
pitch in for these work par-
ties and how much gets
accomplished. It’s not just
hard work. It’s one of the
best team building events
I’ve ever been participated
in.
The Commodore’s Ball is
less than two months away.
Our Commodore Bill Dils will
be honored for his dedica-
tion and leadership on No-
vember 5. The plans for
the evening are underway.
There will be food, music,
and a tribute to Bill and Sue.
Please mark the date on
your calendar. This is an
event you will not want to
miss.
We’ll see you at the Septem-
ber meeting. Take care and
be safe.
Summer has gone by in a
flash! It is hard to believe
that another summer cruis-
ing season is coming to a
close. We got Anna off to
college (Willamette Univer-
sity) and I am fortunate
enough to be writing these
words while swinging on the
hook in Prevost Harbor off
of Stuart Island. We have
enjoyed good weather and
almost all the crab we can
eat.
I have a lot of great memo-
ries from this summer. From
kicking off Dock Fridays to a
fun packed 4th of July, I've
spent more time on the club
docks this summer than I
have in all previous years
combined. Add to that the
summer cruises and im-
promptu get-togethers with
club friends and it reaffirms
the true joys of being part of
the club.
Before summer completely
slips away, we think we
should send it off in grand
PSYC style. Patrick Kolanda
and the Morton's are work-
ing to put together an End of
Summer Party on the Dock.
This will be a live music
event with the fabulous
blues band Mary Mcpage
and the Assassins. We are
still working to confirm the
details but put a hold on
your calendars for Friday,
Sept 30th. The plan calls for
a dockside BBQ and side
dish potluck. The details are
being finalized, so look for
information at the meeting
and via email. This looks to
be an epic event!
Hot on the heals of this
party comes a PSYC corner-
stone event, the Wine Tour.
This year's tour is headed to
the Tri-Cities. Judy Quick has
put together a wonderful
tour this year. For you veter-
ans of the tour, it will oper-
ate a bit differently from
previous years. Rather than
following a set schedule,
Judy has put together an
exciting list of suggested
wineries to visit at your own
pace. This gives you the
option to spend more time
at your favorites or try to hit
them all in rapid fire. You
can then compare notes
and share stories when we
all come together for the
great meals. More details
can be found elsewhere in
this issue or feel free to con-
tact Judy via phone or email.
While the summer cruising
season is ending, we are
entering a period of some of
my favorite weather and
some great fall boating.
Also, keep an eye on your
email and in Sound Waves
because I still have a few
surprises up my sleeve for
the last half of the year.
