Zoe Ann Dudley, PT Yacht Club Commodore
The first weekend in May is Opening Day in Seattle. The second weekend is Opening Day on Port Townsend Bay. Zoe Ann Dudley, Commodore of the PTYC made special efforts this year to invite all sailing and boating organizations to participate. "This is not just a PTYC event," said Commodore Dudley. "This is everyone's day to get out on the water." Here, here! As a special guest at the PTYC Opening Day Breakfast, I was grateful to be recognized for my efforts to connect PTYC with the Wooden Boat Foundation and to see the most participation ever in this 4th annual event. NWMC High School Sailing Team, the SS Falcon Sea Scouts, the first NWMC Pocock Cedar Classic Single with builder Steve Chapin of Point Hudson Boat Shop, the Rat Island Rowing & Sculling Club, the PT Power Squadron, Port Townsend Sailing Association and the WBF Boat Shop, all participated as we paraded along the waterfront in eclectic PT fashion ending our effort between the announcer at NWMC Pier and the Dudley's poweryacht with Commodore saluting at the bow! It was a great event and I encourage everyone who can get a boat in the water by May 10, 2008 to join in next year. We salute your efforts, Zoe Ann!
