Dankie Manne
I just knew that there was a reason for getting up at 6:00 a.m.and starting work today. As I was getting to the last of my messages I had time to stop, sit back, pause and reflect on the innate goodness of our members. As all and sundry are aware we have two Quagga training boats that are in serious need of attention and we have a dream that we will see them on the water being used in match racing between, first of all, two High School Sailing Teams and then between club member teams. How about a 'Teak Reef Four' challenging a 'Junior Jam'? What caused me to stop and reflect was this message from Phil Rademan: Morning Alan, I met with Harry Lamprecht and Gert Schoeman last evening and whilst discussing the upgrade of the Quagga project, Harry kindly offered to donate all the mooring lines and anti fouling required for the vessels and Gert has kindly agreed to undertake all the splicing and rope work! As the round the cans fraternity will know, Harry also is the first (and normally ONLY) boat owner who will agree to being committee boat as well. Dankie Manne, ons waardeer U kontribusie. I know that we have many unsung heroes in the club and I want to give ALL a chance to name those heroes, so please feel free to do so in the Comments section. Full Story »
