CYC Goodbye BBQ Party for Wenona and Henk - Sept,19,2010

Dear sailing Friends,

Wenona and I would like to thank you, especially Mike and Shannon, for the great farewell BBQ party at Lake Calhoun yesterday September 19. We wish the CYC and all its members all the best and fair winds. Our new residence will be in Central Holland close to the city of Utrecht called Woerden just about 30 minutes from Amsterdam.

Fortunately, Henk has old Navy friends owning 38" keelboats cruising the North Sea so we will be sailing those waters after our Dutch winter.

Through this Blog and Facebook we will keep in contact with you all and follow your races, the CYC activities and keelboat races.



Thank you again for all for your trust and friendship.



Wenona and Henk

No Race September 18

The CYC judges boat, with all the marks, will be operating on Lake Harriet on Saturday, September 18, in support of the annual Die Hard Regatta sponsored by Lake Harriet Yacht Club. Therefore the CYC Keelboat Fleet will not race on Saturday. Weather permitting, some of us may come down to sail anyway just for the joy of it.

Alberto needed a better vantage point...

Last Saturday evening, A night of goodbyes and music.

Dear Friends,


By Alberto's imitative, Brian and Deanne, Shannon and Judy joint last Saturday at the Red Stag Supper Restaurant for a farewell evening for Wenona and Henk.

It was a great evening, although we missed some people like Nabil and others.







After we had our meals and some cocktails we moved to the other site of the restaurant where Alberto's friend Karen set up her Karaoke show.













She has a beautiful voice and after a few more cocktails Henk sung "Just the way you are" from Billy Joel and dedicated the song to his lovely wife Wenona and later sung Endless Love in a duet with Karen.

It was a great evening and thanks again to all.



Wenona & Henk.
