Duane,

I don't get it. Did your wife buy you the Edgewater Yacht Club? Or, did she buy your membership? In looking at your membership information, I thought you were already part of EYC.

Glad you were excited.

Yes, she got us a membership (All married men understand that the translation of that is, she allowed us to join so that I can pay for the membership) I don't think I want the entire club.

It was in my information, however technically I wasn't a member there until last week. (I guess theoretically, I am not a member there now either, since we haven't been voted in, but they gave me a parking pass, so it can't be that bad.) I just sailed/raced a lot of boats out of the yacht club as does my wife. That is why I included the link on my personal bio and since the "cool link" spot was taken I used the "home page" spot. I change that stuff every once in a while, so keep checking back....

Duane,

Congratulations! Looking over the web site for EYC it looks like a great place to sail from. And, while its not practicle right now, as you know, Lake Erie is a great place to sail.

Thanks for clearing upmwhat you meant by your intial post.

Spring is coming and then when it gets hot we tell all about our wonderful sailing experiences while those guys down south swelter in the heat and humidity <img src=icon_smile_evil.gif border=0 align=middle> Che. Che. Che.

Reminds me of a story (supposedly true) about Arnold Palmer some years back. He was an "honored guest" in a Middle Eastern country of a prince who was a golf nut and had invited Palmer to help him design a personal course in their country. Upon leaving, the prince was insistent that Palmer should receive a gift in appreciation of his advice and visit. Palmer curtiously declined and said that it wasn't necessary. The prince pressed the issue and inquired if there was anything that Palmer collected. Palmer answered that he did have an extensive golf club collection and that if he came across an interesting one at some point, he could send him one as his insistent "token of appreciation."

A couple of months passed when one day the FedEx man shows up at Palmer's house with an envelope. Looking at the originating address and seeing that it was from the office of the prince, he ripped it open to find the deed for a small golf country club in South Carolina.

Don't know if this is indeed true, but makes for a good story!<img src=icon_smile.gif border=0 align=middle>
