Hello all,

Sam Grant here, a club member at FWYC. Our biggest problems here seem to have been caused by the rising water. The club did suffer some damage, the docks are all still there and in decent shape. Yes, the gazebo is still a prominent fixture on the point, however it does have a bit of a list to it.

On the down side, it appears that nearly half if not more of our fleet are either on the rocks or on the bottom. Several of us racers have lost our boats. In our case, we took every precaution and our boat was still on her anchors right where we left her, but 6' under water. Of the boats that sank, it appears that they were vicitms of somebody elses boat coming loose.

To date, the following boats are sitting the bottom:

Olson 34
Frers 33
Catalina 22
Catalina 22
Capri 25

The list for the beached boats is massive. Some appear fine, but others are under other boats...

Anyway, FWYC overall is in OK shape. Just a bit depressed for our fleet loss...
