March 4, 2023 was a beautiful day on the water for our Presentation of the Fleet ceremony. The Bridge was hosted by Dave and Jackie Cox on their 54’ boat ‘Hoosier Daddy V’. A brief history of the club and a Blessing of Fleet was given by our resident Chaplain, Alan Sandlin. Participants on water and land could hear the entire program on their VHF radios. Fleet Captain Brent Cook organized the boats on the water and 7 vessels were presented to Commodore Linda Gagnon and Vice Commodore Charlie Erker. Charlie laid a rose in the sea for those who have passed this year (Lawrence Oswald and Ellen Dilk) and a special rose for all those loved ones who have gone before.
After the ceremony 51 members gathered for a lovely lunch at CJ’s
