Greetings membership!

In celebration of the first San Rafael Creek dredging in 21 Years, a luncheon was held at the club in honor of Congressman Jared Huffman, who secured the appropriation for the dredging project.

Walt Bilofsky from Tiburon YC submitted an article for Latitude 38 with this photo stating "Now sailboats can reach downtown San Rafael and the legendary parties at San Rafael Yacht Club, where a luncheon Monday (6/26) celebrated the completion in March of the first dredging of San Rafael Creek since 2002."

Photo: Congressman Jared Huffman is flanked by San Rafael YC Commodore Jerry McNulty (l) and Tiburon YC Staff Commodore Walt Bilofsky. Huffman's district runs along the coast from Marin to the Oregon border. -Thanks Walt!

AUXILIARY APPLICATION
“A GREAT Fourth of July at SRYC”

A delicious BarBQ with all kinds of fixin’s and refreshments helped us celebrate America’s 247th birthday at the San Rafael Yacht Club!! Sponsored by the SRYC Auxiliary and with EXTRA special thanks to organizers and workers Betsy Burns, Paul Bentzen, Kathy Collins, Ellen Vick, Mary Sullivan, Dave Sullivan, Emily Boyles, Pat Fryer, and Berneice Moore, and with the weather cooperating beautifully the afternoon was especially festive. Delicious apple pie and ice cream with cupcakes and brownies completed the gourmet lunch/dinner with 40 or so partiers enjoying everyone’s company. It was SO much fun, I think we need to do this AGAIN!!!!!!!!

MEMBER SPOTLIGHT

The following is from a column written by our very own John Moore dated March 1974. Let's encourage John to make this a Sea Breeze regular!

ERNIE'S IDIOMS

OVER A BARREL:

In the days before CPR a drowning victim would be placed face down over a barrel and the barrel would be rolled back and forth in an effort to empty the lungs of water. It was rarely effective. If you are over a barrel you are in deep trouble.
THREE NEW PHOTO ALBUMS!
  • Corinthian & LLYC Cruise-In
