Summer 2023
AHOY, TSC Members
Welcome to Summer, the best time of year! Come out to the lake to keep cool.
Our first event of the summer was our Ol’ Man o’ the Sea race, a single handed race. If you were not able to join us this year, there is always next year. You don’t have to be old, and you don’t have to be a man. Anyone who can handle a boat by themselves is welcome to join in the fun. It is always a good time for the participants, and it can also be very humbling as you try to master “the sea”.
Our next event is our Fun in the Sun Fun Sail on June 24. We are still working on the details of a poker run with sailboats. Fastest boat with the best poker hand wins! This will be our first run at a poker run. It sounds a little out of the ordinary, interesting and fun! It will require some new skills. Come out and try it. Following the race we will have a genuine Jamaican Dinner to remind us of our Caribbean travels.
The first event in July is the International Students Day on Friday, July 7. The Club will host approximately 30 students from around the world to give them a taste of sailing. Starting at 9:00 am, we will meet the students at the clubhouse for introductions. From there, each host boat will take 4 to 5 students for a sail. At some point we will raft-up and allow the kids to swim. Then back to the clubhouse for a late lunch. All the students speak very good English, and communication has never been a problem. The students are always well behaved and interesting to get to know. They bring their own individual experiences from all over the world. It is a great time for all involved. If you would like to participate, call or e-mail Jack Montani at 214-679-4727 or jackmontani@gmail.com. Jack is looking for a couple more host boats. Volunteer and come have a good time.
Since summer tends to have more heat and less wind, our final two events are strictly social. On July 22, we have planned a Family Movie Night with burgers and dogs under the stars. I think the planned movie will be “Captain Ron”, very funny with a taste of the sea. On August 5, there will be an Ice Cream Social with Game Night at the TSC clubhouse. Come check it out.
Racing picks back up in September. On the schedule for Saturday, September 2, is our Wunderlick Long Distance Race with the Post Race Breakfast on Sunday, September 3. For our Texoma Classic Race on the 23rd, we are planning a race and dinner that includes Texoma Sailing Club, Caney Creek Yacht Club and Cedar Mills Yacht Club. Following the race, we will meet at Caney Creek’s dock for “Cheeseburgers in Margaritaville”. More details will be forthcoming as these events draw near.
Come out and join us for sailing and socializing. A good time will be had by all!
