Drowning doesn't look like drowning
This is very important information about drowning! Pass it along to as many people as you can who go near the water.
This one's off topic
My aunt has a story to tell about being groomed and abused by a priest in her (and my) church. If you have any interest in these kind events and the processes that continue to unfold, this is an incredible book that looks at the environment of the church (has it changed?) and her awesone, heroic fight to get the truth out. The book is now available from Amazon, and the better the early sales, the more prominent it appears in searches, if I understand correctly. Website and book title and cover are my doing.

Results Keelboat Race Saturday June 12.
Dear CYC Keel boaters,
Last Saturday we had the pleasure to welcome the Catalina 27 with Brian and Alberto in to the Keel boat race and with gusts of 15 miles per hour they really raced to the start line where Rich, Rick with Judy as crew alreday cruised around.
During the race it rained and the winds where gusty with direction changes of more than 25 degrees but that was no reason for the keel boaters not to fight for the best finishing places.
Without handicap calculations Rich finished Nr1, Rich 2nd, Brian 3th and Henk closed the ranks 4th.
At 4:30 pm the After Sail Party started in Shannon’s garden where C-boaters, Keel boaters, wives and friends enjoyed her hospitality with great food and drinks. Come and have a look one day, It’s your party too.
We hope to see all the Keel boaters at the next race Saturday 19 at 11 am.
Have a great week.
Henk and Wenona with their Mac 26 where waiting for the red flag to come up. It was Rich who had a great start and took the lead with Rick and Brian in pursuit, 3 minutes for the race to start Henk decided to change his Genua for his Jib becouse of wind conditions costing dearly as he started at least 5 minutes late and trailed the fleet until the end.
