The one and only captain's log for all CIYC goers.
Ahoy and welcome to this year’s Cobb Island Summer Kick Off. It’s hard to believe the pirates and scallywags from last year finally left our tranquil little Island. This year’s event should offer a little less scary theme since the Crystal Skull emanations appear to have receded. (See also the report from the 2010 SKO participant who brought back a crystal skull from the Far East (DUBAI) and had it disappear the night of her arrival on the island amid a strange green glow). Her story had such force the Commodore gave her a “Commodore’s bead” for sharing it with him. This year Barbara and I launched the Island Swan. Our new Great Harbour N37 Trawler which causes me such stir in me breast that I am bursting with a song for all of you to sing with the band Saturday night.
Sung to the music of Gilligan’s Island here goes:
Just sit right back ……..And you’ll hear a tale
A tale of a fateful trip…….That started from the Isle of Cobb,
Aboard the Island Swan.
The mate was a mighty sailin’ gal, the Commodore brave and sure, Five Bridge members set sail that day, for a three hour tour…A three hour tour.
The Potomac started getting rough……..the tiny ship was tossed.
If not for the courage of the fearless crew…The Swan would be lost.
The Swan would be lost.
The ship set ground on the shore of this uncharted desert isle
With Billigan,
Don Thayer too,
Karen B and her mutt,
Lane McGee.,
there’s Roger and Martha C.,
Here on the Billigan’s Isle……………………………
I wonder if Simon Cowell will actually be at Scuttlebutts on Saturday night. I could be the next PRYCA IDOL., but then Barbara tells me that I started the Whiskey tasting too early. Either way, we look forward to seeing you at the 2011 CIYC Summer Kick Off.
TA!
Donald Thayer, Commodore Cobb Island Yacht Club
