Fun-o-meter report: August 27th

Good weather? We make our own! It's Always good sailing with Creekfleet. 10 boats showed with skippers/crews dressed for the conditions —and we got wind by 7 PM—so we're sailing!

Remember the Disney movie Bambi. . .

when the little skunk lowers her head, looks up at the fawn and says, "You can call me Flower if you want to." Well, you can call a Creekmeet ANYthing you want to. We call it FUN!
