CYC Mid Winter Bowling get together.
March 9th, CYC mid winter bowling brought ye land lubbers together for some fun. 12 sailors, 1 birthday girl (Shannon) and 5 fans went to Bryant Lake Bowl for some fun.
About 8 people bowled and the rest of us drank beer, chatted about our winter and ate some bar food. We all agreed that sailing can’t come too soon.
Mike Hinden is new to the league and heard we enjoy Lake Calhoun and are friendly…..we hope he enjoyed us! Ed and Dale debated cell phones, shared some jokes and solved world problems.
Steve and Kathy were great at making sure we didn’t get in trouble.
Kathy reported in her lane our lucky winners: Edward Culhane- At 106!! With his wife Terry a close second at 104!! I think Terry might have taken a little tumble, but we are happy she is all right.
Barb, Rich, Rick, Brian, Alberto, Julie, Betty, Ted, and Debby were all there.
