New Of The Week
In Politics. Atlantic Highlands and the U.S. have another vote to be counted. Adrian Begley formerly of the U. K. has taken his vows for the second time. First he and Jen tied the knot recently. Now Adrian has joined the rebel forces. He is no longer merely a British subject. He is now an America citizen. On behalf of your new fellow countrymen and women, welcome into the fold. Does this mean a new name for Mad Dogs and Englishmen? Stay tuned for further newa.
In sports. Bob, Michele and Page Behringer were the committee boat in the Bay Lighthouse race. 17 boats competed for the first place prize this Saturday.. Coleen Marie skipered by Greg Dalton with his first mate Karen were the winners. A fun time was had by all. The winds were strong and the competition fierce. Thank you also to the race committee headed by Kareen Tay and Art Olsen. We can not wait for next years race.
In Entertainment. The Dockside party followed the race. In the heat 30 members enjoyed the company of friends, the food of Chef Dean and their favorite beverages. Sharon Herbst and Janet Grote headed this event for the Entertainment committee. As the sun went down the party heated up as the heat cooled off. Due to one of the launches being disabled we were able to hang out on it and had a place to sit and converse. All attendees watched a full moon rise over the hill. It was a special time had by all. THis was the second time this event was held. If you missed it you will have to wait to next year.
Food Review. There has been a change in the Galley, which can only improve the service. Chef Dean will now be in complete charge of the Galley. Previously he was employed by an entity that did not provide us with the services we contracted for. They are no longer in the equation. Come up to the Galley try and enjoy some of Chef Dean's creations. I believe you will be satisfied.
It was a busy week at the AHYC as you can see. What is in store for us next week?
