NYC Crews fight to the finish in Gimli

Going into last weeks final Wednesday night race, three NYC crews where battling for 2 – 4^th places. Blue Baiou in 2^nd with 21 points, with Mini Pearl and Little Fogger next tied with 23 points. At the end of the race Mini Pearl claimed 2^nd overall for the year with Blue Baiou and Little Fogger tied with Little Fogger finishing in front based on tie breaker rules.

However results have fallen into questions with accusations of blood tampering. It has been suggested that the crew of Mini Pearl had been donating large quantities of blood in the hours preceding each race in effort to lower weight. The major piece of evidence was Blair observed to be wearing a toque in every race due to low body temperature.

When contacting International Doping Official’s, they commented that they have never heard of blood letting being used as a performance enhancing practice. However they have always wondered why snowboarders wear their toques in the summer, coincidence we think not.

Frock Night 2008

Bond Night

Get out your martini glasses, Aston martins, golden guns, dinner jackets, commando gear, spy wear and Bond Girls that you all have stashed away in your boats for the Sanderson or firecracker beach party on the long week end. Weather forecast depending; it should be on Saturday evening at 5pm. Bring a bucket of gin and an olive to shake not stir. Canapes most appreciated but not chicken wings or stuff with bones in that gets thrown in the bush and eaten by hungry critters like Beenz or Sheldon Swann. Scantily clad bodies in bathing suits emerging from the water is expected as so many of our members look like Shaun Connery and Halle Berry. Looking for the Daniel Craig look a likes so that we can strap you to a chair naked and bash your privates until you disclose where the liquor is kept on your boat. High speed boat chases should start around 6 pm; helicopters arrive at 7 pm with approx 100 studly fellers landing on the beach.

Prepare to have fun or we may have to kill you…

In case you wanted to know more about Bond Girls for some ideas:

Cruise Week Report

Cruise week was a great success with help from Kevin Booth, Marianne and Rodney Nuttall, Dave and Connie Moyse, Bob Webb, and Lisa Phillips. A total of 21 boats registered. The weather was good and there were no severe storms. We did not make it to Timber Beach this year because of a strong head wind, but there would not have been much beach showing anyway because of the high water.

The main events were:
Hot dog and Smokie dinner at Northern Harbour
Rum Punch and appetizer party at Sanderson’s Beach
Bingo games by VHF radio
Star raft at Twin Island
Cake-baking contest with nine entries
Birthday Party for four people at Hidden Bay with Champaign and cake from the contest
Children’s party at Totem Lodge
Awards Dinner (53 people) at Totem Lodge
Back to back rafts at Barney Narrows
