The one and only captain's log for all CIYC goers.
The 2012 Summer Kick Off theme will be Mardi Gras. This year’s necklace is loaded with Mardi Gras colors and themes. Attendees this year will learn about local waterfowl, boating safety, and Cobb Island in the 1940’s. Participants in this year’s Scavenger Hunt will have an opportunity to find more handmade limited edition beads than ever before. Beads of special note in 2012 include the Mr. Wilson bead and the Change of Watch (COW) bead. For the second year in a row, the Bead Master has authorized a special bead acknowledging one of our guests from the previous year.
In 2011 “The Ralph” was commissioned to pay homage to our friend who got creative making his own flamingo bead in 2010. In attendance last year was our friends who brought the cutest dog, Mr. Wilson. The Bead Master has created a limited edition handmade and hand painted Mr. Wilson bead. The COW bead is only available at one of two events. It will be attached to invitations to be handed out at the January 21 Potomac River Yacht Clubs annual Change of Watch (COW) Ball. It will also be available for attendees at the March 3 joint Swan Point and Cobb Island Commodore’s Ball. After that, the mold will be broken forever. Who knows………if you’re attending this year and make an impression on the Bead Master, you too, could have your very own bead in 2013. Registration forms for the 2012 CIYC SKO should be available on line by March 1.
