Texas City Dike Yacht Club

In 2010 there will be at least one significant change to TCDYC over the past couple of years.  We will meet once a quarter starting January the 23 to discuss club business.  These meeting will be open to all TCDYC members as we want all members to have an opportunity to voice their ideas and/or concerns.  The first meeting will be at the Casey abode and will start around 6.  The address is 1701 Mulberry Drive in Richmond, Texas.  Zip code is 77469.  There will be some sort of food and beverage so if you are coming please let me know so I can plan in advance.&nb

The first social event of the year has been planned.  Come join the Texas City Dike Yacht Club at the 10 mile spot for a bonfire Dike style.  Bring your friends and bring your family.  Bring your wife or bring your girlfriend.  Bring both of them if you dare.  There might even be some fire jumping.  If you have any wood you want to burn bring it on out.  Still have that Christmas tree laying around? bring it out!  Got an old couch you need to git rid of?  Come sit on it, and then throw it in the fire.  Flaming to begin at or just after dusk.

It is that time again.  Come one come all to the Casey Casa to express your interest in TCDYC to all of your elected officers.  Topics to for sure be covered will be the planning of the "Sailing Seminar", planning of the party for the Surfside stop of Great Texas, planning of a social event, and how to punish Chris Green for teasing us all with this nonsense of the Dike being reopened on the weekends.  Because of my work schedule the meeting will start at 7:00.  Food shall be served in a pot luck format so please bring a dish.

KO Sailing wanted to thank the local cat sailors for supporting the local store.  They also wanted to bring their support trailer to the clinic in June but unfortunately they have a conflicting event.  So.......they are making a special offer to all the cat sailors.  On Saturday May 22 KO Sailing is offering free boat inspections at their store.  Then they will also give you 10% of any parts and gear that you need or want.  Best part is if you need something before the clinic there will be time for the friendly staff at KO to get it in for you.

Once again it is time for the anual "Learn to Sail Clinic" hosted by the Texas City Dike Yacht Club.  The class will include classroom or beachhouse instruction on Saturday morning starting at 9:00.  See below for directions to the beach house.  Immediately following the classroom instructions we will begin boat inspections on the beach at or near the Public Beach Access 3.  We will then have on the water instruction for the rest of the day on Saturday.  We wrap up Saturday with debreifing on the beach which I am sure will be followed by a bonfire of some sort.&nbsp

Team Poison Girl has graciously opened their doors for us.  The address is 5524 Bertellis Lane.  Houston, Tx 77091.  The primary purpose is to plan the fast coming Wayward Winds which may very well be our first race back at the Dike.  We will also discuss Texas Two Step/Red Fish Reach and cover any new business that is needed.  Mike is providing food so bring your drinks and come on.  If you want to be a part of planning or running Wayward Winds we would love to have you there.  See ya at 7:00.
