create a fun filled cruising season.
If you didn’t know already, my husband Kevin and I grew
up boating all of our lives. We finally took the plunge and
became proud owners of a Sea Ray 280 Sundancer last
summer. She is a beauty, and is always eagerly awaiting
us to take her out on her next voyage. We are looking to
change her name to something that suits us better (and
yes, we will have a proper name changing ceremony, so
we do not defy the gods). As of now, it looks like the front
runner is “Hydee’s Fault” ... since it usually is. If you have
any suggestions, please hunt us down and let us know!
We are still in the initial stages of scheduling the events
for this year, so I don’t have many details to report as of
yet. We will have a Cruise Kick Off meeting this month
to discuss ideas and planning and hopefully find and
designate volunteers to chair the cruises. I invite anyone
who is interested in being a part of these events to please
come and join us at this meeting. Your suggestions and
participation is invaluable.
One of the Landlubbers events is scheduled already for
March 16-18 in Borrego Springs. Kevin and I are planning
to attend and are also hoping that others will part from
the sea and be “land lubbers” for a weekend. Ed Howie
and Jan Jordan are chairing this event, so please see
them if you need more information.
Last, but definitely not least, I wanted to give a huge
shout out to Tamara Tatich for doing such an excellent
job leading us through the 2017 cruising season as Fleet
Captain and helping me prepare for this year. From our
own harbor to Long Beach and Newport and over to
Isthmus, Avalon and up to Santa Barbara and beyond,
the cruises could not have been such a success without
Tamara and each and every person that chaired and
assisted. So, thank you for the fun last year and now let’s

finished mid fleet. As always, Nate made us proud.
The Dana Point Harbor Holiday Parade theme this year
was Super Hero Holiday and DWYC Junior Entry was the
Original Holiday Super Hero, “Rudolph”. As we know, if it
hadn’t been for Rudolph on that foggy eve there wouldn’t
have been presents for all the boys and girls. I’d like to
thank Ray Bell, Brian Randall, Mark Unruh, Julie Ernest,
Adam Boyajian and Oliver Ernest for helping decorate.
Thanks to Colleen and EC Christiansen for the PA System.
Also, many thanks to the parents and juniors that sang
their hearts out on the four nights of the parade. Our
entry was awarded “Most Original Entry Under 30’. We
also were one of the three entries to win “Best Music” out
of the 70 entries. This “Best Music” award was your DWYC
Juniors singing Rudolph The Red Nosed Reindeer acapella
as loud as they could the entire parade. Six years in a row
of awards, your juniors are the best!
Your juniors provided our members and guests their
wonderful 5 Star Service at our 21st Annual Armed Forces
Dinner. It was the juniors’ privilege and a strong life
lesson to serve our Marines. I’d like to thank Commodore
Sicard for recognizing their efforts and allowing the
juniors to serve, SC Helen Hawkins for giving the juniors
the opportunity and the members who generously gave
them tips. The juniors serving: Jr. Commodore Peyton Lee,
Jr. Vice Commodore Ben Rightmire, Jr. Rear Commodore
