Happy Holidays to All We took a short boat ride yesterday between showers on calm waters with a little sun. Ahhhh…. Winter boating (well… late Fall) can be beautiful. Get out and enjoy it if you can. My year as Commodore is coming to a close. With all the activities, it has passed quickly. We had great participation in all our events starting at Elliott Bay and continued through Brownsville, Port Orchard, Bell Harbor, Anacortes and Poulsbo at Silver Cloud Casino. In addition, we had Fleet Captain events at Langley and Bremerton. We are a social boating club and the events we had emulated our core philosophy. I appreciate the support of our members with our struggles finding an appropriate monthly meeting location. We had

three different venues this year and have settled back at Eastlake Bar and Grill for the foreseeable future. I have had great support from the 2017 Board. We had several special meetings with open exchanges of views and ideas. I would not have survived the year without them. Looking ahead, I feel strongly that the elected 2018 Bridge, with Victor Portolese at the helm, will provide great leadership and direction for the continuation of HHYC. Thanks to all the Members for the continued, tremendous support in making 2017 an enjoyable year for all. This IS a fun

boating club. Have a wonderful and joyous Holiday Season. Dane Fantz Commodore
