New Years Eve 2007 - 2008

2008 Arrives With Sirens, Whistles and Cheers … Together With Our MYC Family HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL!!!

What a great time we had at our annual MYC New Year’s Eve bash. We had a nice turn out with 8 boats (JJ, YEAH!, MoNauti, Enn-Ticipation, Double D, Jibless and Bruce Fabert and Sharon Brodniak’s new boat) and 2 motor homes … Dave and Laurie Green in one and DuWayne and Colleen Crowley in the other. We had absolutely beautiful weather, great food and lots of holiday cheer.

No one went swimming this year, which was a great relief. However, Don Dauenhauer, had a little mishap but recovered quickly and was able to continue on with the party. Along with many MYC members in attendance we also had the privilege of the company of extended family and friends. Sisters, daughters, grandchildren and neighbors were there. It seems MYC’s NYE celebration is the hottest ticket in town!  After ringing in the New Year and getting what seemed like an hour of sleep we were off to Meyer’s Café for a hot breakfast, good coffee, and even better company.

Thank you, Jolly, for the beautiful scarves. A handmade gift from the heart just can’t be beat. The time and effort you put into each of them is greatly appreciated. We are expecting 1 – 4 FEET of snow this weekend in Denver, so mine will come in real handy!

I’d also like to thank my Dad, Tim Riddle, my husband Randy, Dave Green, and everyone else that worked so hard setting up and tearing down.  That is a huge job and we couldn’t have done it without your support.

On a personal note, I’d like to thank those of you who shared stories of my dear Mom, Jan Riddle. She LOVED being a part of the MYC family and treasured each one of you. She spoke of you often and it brings me comfort to know the joy that you brought into her life. I know she was smiling down on us as we reminisced of the good times. She will be missed but will live on in our hearts.

As we reflect on 2007 and look towards 2008 may we smile a little more, give someone special a hug, say I love you more often, be charitable and just enjoy life. Remember what’s important and be thankful for all that we’ve got.

Happy New Year, my Friends.

Fleet Captain's Cruise - March 28 - 30

How does the saying go?

March, it comes in like a lion and goes out like a lamb. Well not this time….

For an early spring cruise at the end of March (March 28-30) it is reasonable to expect clouds, rain, cooler temps and some wind, but SNOW?! Well, for those who made the trip to Kingston on Friday that’s what they got. Those that left early in the day also got to contend with some strong winds, but for those who left later in the day, they got calm waters with snow on their decks. And as if that didn’t make it exciting enough, Bruce Fabert and Sharon took on a little water and made friends with the Coast Guard! Luckily, Dave & Laurie Green and Tim Riddle sprang into action (literally leaving power cords and lines attached to the dock) and helped with a temporary fix for a pesky water hose! It made for some exciting cruising with fun stories to tell when we all got there.

The excitement of Friday’s journeys put everyone in the mood for good times with good friends. The cold weather kept everyone indoors, but that didn’t stop our lively club from socializing. We all hopped from boat to boat to exchange stories and stay warm.

Saturday morning greeted us with clear, sunny skies and some even colder temperatures. Those who were willing to brave the chilly morning enjoyed donuts and coffee on the docks.

In the afternoon we all gathered for drinks and appetizers on the dock before heading up to the Main Street Ale House for dinner. Our group included: Marty & Wendy Eidbo, Kipp & Babe Carroll, Roy & Mo Dorsey, Greg & Diane Smith and granddaughter McKensie, Swan & Donna Seaberg, Jeff & Bobbie Moustafa, Alex Denton & Mary Wightman, Jim & Barbara Lamb, Dave & Laurie Green, Tim Riddle, Bruce Fabert & Sharon Brodniak, Ted, Mandy, Paige & Riley Udhus, Sean, Jennifer, Kaitlyn & Lucas Robinson, Tom & Bobbi O’Day, Enn & Cindy Mikk, Mike & Connie Reilly, and Rhoda Sluys. We took over the entire lounge of the Ale House and enjoyed a wonderful dinner.

Thanks to everyone who participated in the cruise. It was a weekend filled with good friends and lots of laughter!

Sean and Jennifer Robinson
