JULY 2019 BEACON

Time is sure flying by and June was filled with fun events; despite the rainy start. Kicking it off with the ABYA Spring Dinner Dance, being well attended by NCYC members. Followed by the Rendezvous at Milliken, hosted by our Fleet Captains who call Detroit their back yard. It is truly amazing how much Leslie and Patty know about Detroit. They made great tour guides as we pedaled from Corktown to the Eastern Market and back, hitting a few local pubs along the way. I can’t wait to see what they have planned for the next Rendezvous! Back at the island the following weekend was the annual Big Smoke along with an exquisite scotch and wine selection. This event is sure catching on as the attendance was the best yet. The evening finished with Steak and Lobster Dinner -- a meal to remember, the steak and lobster tails were cooked to perfection! The ladies took the island by storm on Sunday and did “lady things” for a week. I don’t know exactly what took place as what happens on ladies week, stays on ladies week, but I can tell you that I heard everyone had a great time. Once Ladies week was over, it was time for the next boating generation to have a little fun. Kids day was so much fun, and I am sure the little ones slept well that night!!! I know from my perspective that the best event was “Pie the Flag”, I think I will stay away from whip cream for a while!
