HAPPY THANKSGIVING [What Did the Pilgrims Eat at the First Thanksgiving | Epicurious] COMMODORE'S COMMENTS Thanksgiving November 28, 2024 It's a drizzly day but hopefully the bright spot will be in the comfort of sharing the day with family and friends or just spending a relaxing day alone, catching up on parades, football games or reflecting on memories of Thanksgivings past. Of course I could bore you to death with memories of Thanksgiving "dinner" at the Robinsons', my dad's family. Perhaps difficult to find a more eccentric group of 17 people gathered around a round table suited for 12. My grandmother, Emily was a stranger to cooking and the kitchen, but she was a connoisseur of baked beans! I'll leave it at that and end with my great grandmother, Annie Tagg's closing line after reciting her annual Thanksgiving toast- poem (15 minutes and counting)~ "So, here's to you! " So, HERE'S TO YOU! All of you. Enjoy the day, enjoy one another, be safe! Thank you to all who attended the Annual Meeting on November 9th. Many thanks to our fabulous officers- past and present and Board of Governors. To all members who volunteered to help maintain and sustain our beloved Pettipaug Yacht Club. 2025 is PYC's 75th Anniversary. A year of completing necessary projects, festivities and celebrations! I will keep you posted, of course. Priscilla Robinson PYC Commodore TRIVIA [Plimoth Patuxet Museums | Mayflower and Mayflower Compact] A little 1620 drama~ This is Longfellow's rendition: Myles Standish, John Alden and Priscilla Mullins met aboard the Mayflower. The shy Myles Standish was taken by Priscilla Mullens. He asked his friend John Alden to sing his praises to her. John did so for his friend. BUT, Priscilla had fallen in love with John. Q~ What memorable statement did she say to him?

PYC COMMODORE'S COMMENTS~ October 31, 2024 [Photo] Wonder what their Portsmouth Handicap is? Do plant your seeds for next fall's race! HAPPY HALLOWEEN Timing is perhaps one of the most essential elements to have a handle on when making decisions that will affect many. Perhaps the Farmer's Almanac, if taken the time to consult, would have predicted a fall season with weather beyond our expectations. We should all be doing rain-dances but we could all still be sailing, boating or swimming. 80 degrees this afternoon! Today is "All Hallow's Eve" - tomorrow "All Hollow's Day" ~ fast forward to October 31st becoming Halloween and tomorrow " All Saint's Day". We don our costumes and scary gear tonight but on Saturday, November 9th, 2024 at the Essex Corinthian Yacht Club at 5 p.m. we will recognize and celebrate Pettipaug Yacht Club's "All Saints". PYC, fortunately has over 350 members.

The call to remove boats was October 26th!! ALL BOATS REMOVED No later than October 31st. The middle yard needs to be empty- that is where the docks will be placed on November 2nd. Steve and Sharon Hinchcliffe and I moved boats today from the middle yard. There are 4 boats still there. There are power boats on the south, scows on the west and a catamaran. The Board proposed the date of October 26th weeks ago and I have sent that date out numerous times. We added the weekend and a few days next week to help all boat owners accomplish this task. If you need help moving your boat email: commodore(a)pettipaug.org<mailto:commodore@pettipaug.org> Thank you. REMINDERS ALL BOATS REMOVED No later than October 31st.
