2 COMMODORE S CORNER Just returned from the two week cruise and had a great time. We had a lot of participants with boats joining for a few days and others sailing the entire two weeks with the group. There were some hot days, some evening storms, some great sailing, cool refreshing sundowners, good food, and always great people to share it with. Thanks Sergio (Diehl) for putting together another fantastic cruise. Little Bay challenge is Saturday 7/14. Hope to see you out there. I will be on the committee boat with Scott Almond and his team. The following weekend is the Jazz Festival cruise to Waterside and the week after that is the Richard B Johnson Memorial regatta. If you have not registered for the Cape Charles Cup it is fast approaching. Whether you are a racer or a cruiser; you do not want to miss this one.

6 CRUISING NEWS Norfolk Jazz Festival (Waterside) July: I am planning a cruise to coincide with the Norfolk Jazz Festival on July 21st at Town Point Park. The plan would be to sail down to Waterside on Saturday. I have blocked a few slips for BBSA. There are no special rules, such as they do for the other festivals or extra fees for the evening of 21 July. The Jazz festival does not start until 5:00 PM so there should be plenty of time to get there. If there is a group of us we can set aside a space on the lawn where we can enjoy the music and picnic. Contact Sergio by sergio.diehl@cox.net or by phone (757) For a preview of what is happening on the 21 st of July, click on this link Cruise to the Warwick Yacht and Country Club August 4-5: Contact Frits and Sancy Isham at , fax , or george.isham@cox.net. Things are definitely looking up since the club has hired a new manager, Mr. Lindsay. The inside dining room will be open and orders can be taken from the menu. Recently the Portsmouth Boat Club had over 25 members dine there with good results. The slip situation is still being worked out and information will be provided as soon as it becomes available. Those of you that have joined us in the past have enjoyed the wonderful pool, the outside snack bar, plus a fantastic view. Sancy and I live in Newport News and have first-hand contact with the management. Please contact me soon if you plan to join us.
