Opening Day Celebrates New Marina

 

A very special ceremony highlighted the Club’s Opening Day on May 6th. Commodore Derek Castle (centre) looked on as Past Commodores Gary Morrison and Jon Healey, who worked together throughout the many months of the Marina Renovation as project managers, cut the ribbon to signal the completion of the new docks. A beautiful, sunny day and calm seas made sisc opening day ceremonyperfect Sail Past conditions, as member boats dipped their flags while sailing past Commodore Castle, who returned the salutes from a special guest flagship, the Royal Canadian Navy ORCA patrol ship Caribou. Then the Commodore and Flag Officers were piped up the docks by Scottish piper, Tim Erdmer, to the waiting crowd at the pier, where the ribbon cutting ceremony took place to the applause of members. After a celebration luncheon at the clubhouse, the weather gods again cooperated by providing a nice breeze for the traditional Opening Day afternoon No Flying Sails Race.
