Reflections of a Race
Committee Member - Tom Gawrys
"As a new club member and life long power boater I was pleased and intrigued at
being invited to join the club’s Race Committee. My limited sailing knowledge, I
was assured, would not be a hindrance to participation. In fact, my first race
duties found me on the water at the helm of a 23 foot power patrol boat, and
right at home with the days activities. The excitement of being in the mix and
watching the skill and determination of the racing crews can only be fully
appreciated by being there. Of course, on par with participating in the events,
is the after race social interaction and the opportunity to meet members and
establish new friendships. I’m happy to be part of the committee. It’s a
rewarding experience and a lot of fun." From Tom Gawrys
