Cleanup day was a raging success this year, with around 20 members wielding rakes, mowers, weed-whackers, and other dangerous looking tools…and yet no significant injuries were reported!
The compound is as clean as a whistle, and I choose to believe the boats ended up more or less where they started from. If you can’t find your boat, talk to Ryan Jmaeff….he didn’t show up, so we can safely blame any problems on him!
Team Vanessa provided some delicious coffee and snacks…we weren’t sure what the decaf was for, so we poured it into the lawnmower.
When I left, a ragtag group of semi-skilled carpenters was just finishing a new cradle for the infamous, ‘Betty’s Byte’. It looked pretty slick, and it occurred to me that one or two other boat owners may need to put hammer to nail on their own cradles this spring. If you need some suggestions, I’m pretty sure any members loitering around the compound would be happy to offer some advice or help out!
Thanks to everyone who showed up…for your hard work, and for sacrificing your backs for a good cause!
