The major Puget Sound yacht clubs are known as the The Grand Fourteen. The Women's Interclub Council (WIC) is made up from the Grand 14. …The purpose of this organization is to schedule and assist in carrying out an exchange of luncheons among the members of WIC on a non-profit basis and to promote friendship among boaters… In other words.... Once a month all the ladies gather at a different club to share cocktails, have a great lunch and bullshit. This month, the luncheon is at Port Orchard, it's our turn to host the Gals. For the ladies of the Grand Fourteen it's kinda a BIG DEAL.... each club tries to outdo the others. For POYC (Port Orchard Yacht Club), our luncheon falls in December this year. So we have been bustin' butt to get the club looking like a Christmas wonderland! Luzia and I spent the morning putting up the tree and getting the hall decorated. I made 90 napkin rings and 17 table place cards. Our colors this year are blue and silver, the luncheon is this Thursday. I am so excited! All that crafting kept me busy all weekend, I loved it! I should be a professional party planer. LOLMonday Dec 12, 2011

Port Orchard Lighted Boat Parade Saturday was our community boat parade. We had about 12 to 15 boats from the yacht club all decorated up for the Holidays. Even Santa joined us on this cruise so he could call out the names of people on the shore. We left the marina around 3:30 and cruised Sinclair Inlet up and down the shoreline for about 4 hrs. Lots of fun.... lots of booze... lots of food. My favorite combination! LOL. Poor little Zoe had to stay home. I think there was just WAY to much excitement for her. The night was clear and cool, around 45deg. The waters calm the moon full... a perfect night! My first Christmas parade. Maybe next year we can take our boat in the parade!

POYC Sunday BreakfastThe first Sunday of every month the yacht club puts on a pancake breakfast for the members. Being the Helper Elf that I am.... I volunteer for the kitchen crew. Take breakfast orders, refill coffee, clear plates.... and of course I was the only one dressed up. WTH???? Does no one know it's Christmas??? HELLO PEOPLE. I worked from 8 to noon. We, the yacht club members, have to have 16 hours per year in work party time for the club. So Sunday morning I got 4 hrs work party time, so far I think I have like 30 hrs in 2 months. (I have alot of time on my hands)
Sunday evening Ben and I took TJ and Kaitlyn on the Special Peoples Cruise at the Bremerton Yacht Club. It is an annual event their club puts on for the special needs people in the community. They have a dozen boats dressed up in Christmas lights and they take out the folks on an nice hour cruise around the inlet. After the cruise they gave us bologna sandwiches and cookies and they had little gifts for everyone. after we drove TJ and Katlyn back to Port Hadlock Nicole took us all out to dinner at this great Mexican resturant because we were STARVED! We did not get home till after ten. It was a very busy day...
