Tony360 - thank you for chairing a great meeting. I usually attend AGM's to catch up on sleep but the SWS AGM last night was very civilized, educational and down right fun. Well done on your first year as prez.

P.S. Don't mean to rub it in but I will ... you missed an awesome White Rock session yesterday

Thanks Alton! It was a great atmosphere at the meeting and we got lots of great comments by members. Other Tony -- we will see what we can do about that rock. Do you want it moved to your front yard?

Work and family obligations got in the way unfortunately. When I saw what Ambleside looked like from the Lions Gate, while driving my wife and daughter to their flight to Maui, my heart broke a little. I'm glad that almost everyone else had fun.

During high tide, I like to stand on the last stair, holding my rig in the air with the board floating in the river. Then step off the stairs onto the board and sheet in. Don't need to get yourself wet.

But there are a couple of boulders that like to lurk just under the water, and sometimes the fin crunches on the rocks.

Great job with the AGM, Tony!

A black Kenneth Cole jacket as grey scarf were left on a chair at the sailing club. I took them home. Could you perhaps send an email out to SWS members to see if anyone wants to claim it?

Cheers,
Jeff.

That might work well on top of the trunk liner in my car!! It would keep those pesky ski boots from sliding around on the sea to sky! ;)

Can we get Denham involved? It might work, it's not an invasive/expensive mod I don't think..
