Photos and Activities for the Month of June

June Membership Meeting

The June Membership Meeting was held at the Vincent's Hiwassee River site. This is Jack and his wife Rachel receiving a Certificate of Appreciation from the Squadron for their generosity.  This was the 11th year they have hosted this event.

Getting an anchor to hold in the bottom of Agency Creek proved to be quite a challenge for the larger boats. We are not sure if they are anchored or have just put out enough chain to serve as a weight anchor.
The Smaller power boats managed to get tied to the dock. This was a good place to be considering  the wake we received from passing boats in spite of the No Wake sign.

This is Don out there drumming up some business for the VSE inspectors.

We did get some VSE inspections done in spite of the heat. This one would have been a pass except that the all around white light did not work. You can check them out in the morning and when you go to use them they can still not work. It is a good plan to carry spare bulbs. Norm hoped this extra bulb would work, but no such luck. 
Before the member meeting the Executive Board managed to squeeze in a quick meeting. They elected to all sit in front of the fan. I wonder why that was?
We did manage to get in a meal for all that came by land or by boat.  The same menu for 11  years and it always draws a crowd! (It must have been good because even your Webmaster liked the fish.)
During the meeting we found it it was Bill's birthday. Happy 84th!

 

 

We also swore in some new members, Norman and Gloria...

And presented Laura with her Operations Training Certificate.

 

Watts Bar Invitational

The Watts Bar Invitational is put on by the Knoxville Sail and Power Squadron and the entire district is invited. Some came by boat and some by land.

They did some blindfolded boat racing, relaxing on the bow and the District Commander cooked breakfast.
Thanks to Harold DeHart for the photos. There are a lot more photo's at his Web Album.
