Hello LSYC friends and family! With apologies to the Beach Boys, this email is titled after the WINNER of the 43rd annual Governor’s Cup Regatta! But before I get to the winners I want to acknowledge all of you who raced, helped out and attended the party- thank you to all! That was a really fun weekend, even though my Jezibel took a solid 8th place!

If you have pictures to share, please please please post them to the club’s Instagram account- (@lake stockton yacht club) and/or the Facebook page.

Thank you to all who donated- we raised money toward a committee boat, the Red Cross Hurricane Relief fund, and the Boy Scouts! The LSYC is a generous group!!

Please remember to show love to the companies that helped us out this year: Lake Stockton Boat Works, Bongo’s Bistro, and The Venue at Cabins at Stockton Lake!

Also please put some serious thought into how you (

yes, YOU)

 can help out on the LSYC Board of Directors next year- we need new blood- especially (but not limited to) Rear Commodore (Race Chair) and Social Chair.
