Saturday, June 4th, LSYC Sailboat Racing on Stockton Lake- From Cruiser Chairs Tom and Teresa If that looks like an optimistic headline, it is, given the weather delays and cancellations of the past month. Not being Greek is no excuse for ignoring Zeus and even asking for a little respite and help from the ancients.…
There are a lot of fisher(men and women) on Stockton Lake, alongside us sailors and cruisers. What I find to be so cool is that we are so similar. Please allow me to explain. When we go out on the water, we LOVE it. We love the natural beauty. We love to be there with…
Hello LSYC friends and family! In the last couple of weeks we have had a lot of fun! I count 8 different boats that have placed in the top 3 in our recent events. I know when I watch some of you race, it is like watching madmen across the water. Especially when there is…
Well would’ja lookee here? Seems to be we have some fancy-pants stuff a-comin’ up. We have the Cruiser’s Cup, the finest way to accumulate bragging rights a cruising sailor ever did see. And then we have Governor’s Cup, a pro-am tournament where we are, to quote 417 mag, “Sailing for Supremacy”. What do YOU need…

Happy Juuulllllyyyy! Can you believe we are half way thru the season? I know we had a ton of fun dropping the hook and watching the fireworks. One of the things I have been seeing a lot of lately is the young adult kids returning. Some are hanging for the weekend and some are buying…
Greetings LSYC friends and family! Were you at the lake last weekend? How about Sunday? What a BEAUTIFUL day! We are so very lucky to be able to do what we do, and to be with folks like yourselves. I know I have so much fun telling our stories and spreading the love. Be sure…
When the weather is 60 mph winds, lightning, big hail, and there is a tornado nearby, what do you do? Well, you RACE! (After going to the bar to ride the storm out, of course!) The LSYC had a great weekend! Great racing and the Shrimp Boil was a hit again! We had 50+ attend…
The Kenny Chesney song- The Life- is stuck in my head. Please find it and listen to it as you read this and you can ride along with my good mood. (Lyrics are pasted below) You see, I just got back from a tiny fishing island 30 miles south of Roatan, Honduras. The local fishermen…
