COMMODORE’S COMMENTSDear fellow MBC’rs,
I am filling in for the Commodore’s Comments.Scott and Barb’s
grandson had a serious medicalissue, and they are spending their
time at Children’sHospital. Please keep their grandson and the
Burkefamily in your prayers for a speedy recovery.
Recapping last month, a small gathering ofmembers hopped on the
Amtrak and headed forChicago. The mission, to explore the history
andtales of Chicago’s infamous gangsters via theUntouchable Tours
bus.
Then, later on in October, we had one of oureducational meetings
hosted by the Halsteads andMcElwees. A tour of the UWM School
ofFreshwater Sciences proved to be very interestingand informative.
Of course, being boaters, theopportunity to board the school’s
flagship reasearchvessel, the Neeskay, was a real treat.
This month starts out with Wednesday Madnesson the 7th, and a
tour of the Wisconsin AutoMuseum in Hartford and then heading out
to TheMineshaft for dinner.
Craig Heser will do his best to stump us with atrivia contest
during our November 15th meetingwhere we will also be electing our
officers for 2019.
Be sure to get your reservations in to Connie forthe Commodore’s
ball on Friday November 30th.Look for the sign up sheet later on in
this publication.
Listening to the wind howl outside my windowand hearing the open
waters forecast for LakeMichigan of waves 12’ to 16’ ,peaking at
times to 21’, it is agood thing that our vessels aresnug in their
wintering berthsuntil next season.

Boat
Club members took a tour of UW-Mil-waukee Graduate School of
FreshwaterSciences. Greg Stamatelaks, the Captainof the school’s
research vessel, Neeskay,gave us a great overview of the school’son
water program, which then followedwith a tour of the Neeskay. Its
name isderived from the language of the Ho-Chunk, a Wisconsin
Native AmericanTribe, and it means “pure, clean water” –the
school’s vision for the Great Lakes.The Neeskay is the only year
round re-search vessel on the Great Lakes. Beforethe Neeskay was
reconstructed as a re-search vessel in 1970, it was an ArmyT-Boat
used for tug and transport dutiesduring the Korean War.
After our boat tour, Liz Sutton, Out-Reach Coordinator, gave us
a tour of theschool’s facilities, including several re-search
laboratories.
Following the tour, we had a shortmembership meeting, then
headed to Bot-ana’s Restaurant for some liquid libationand an early
dinner.
