Wayne Hind email: whind@sympatico.ca Phone: 519-974-3905 To South Port Members Haul out 2013 I hope you have all recovered for another haul out on a less than perfect day. I would like thank everyone that helped on the 19th. Special thanks to the number of club members who do not have a boat, or are keeping theirs at another location, but still came out to help on a cold and rainy day, and stayed the entire day. Also, thank you to all the junior sailing Instructors who did an excellent job power washing the bottoms of the boats. Thanks also go out to the lunch specialists. Great lunch this year!! This is what a club is all about. It was a good day. The date for April 2014 launch has not been scheduled at this time, but start getting your boat ready early spring!
