AUXILIARY FLEET NEWS<br />
This year the Auxiliary is hosting<br />
the Labor Day Picnic. It is a great<br />
finale to our summer season. Everyone’s<br />
help makes it a success. Our Down Bay<br />
Race is scheduled for Sept. 19. We had a<br />
record number of participants last year<br />
and hope to top that number in September.<br />
The raft up after the race is one of<br />
the highlights. Be part of this Great<br />
MRYC Tradition.<br />
I will be posting a sign-up sheet<br />
on the bulletin board of the clubhouse and<br />
at the pool, for the Labor Day picnic.<br />
Please let me know if you have a particular<br />
interest. We hope to have record<br />
participation for these three events.<br />
The Coast Guard Auxiliary is<br />
willing to safety inspect your boat. They<br />
could do as many boats as we wanted on<br />
a specific date, and time. There is no<br />
cost, very little anxiety, and at best informative.<br />
Please let me know if you have<br />
any interest. Rick Eytel has had his boat<br />
inspected and said it was a worthwhile<br />
experience.<br />
Derivation: Pipe Down. Naval ships orders<br />
are given by notes piped on a whistle.<br />
“Pipe down” is the last pipe of the<br />
day. The term is also used to when you<br />
want someone to stop talking.<br />
