One of our highest honors is the Hell or High Water Award. This is presented to the Captain who has sailed the most in the course of the Season. At my wife’s last count, I have been awarded this dubious honor way too many times in the 28 years that I have been part of the Winter Sailing program here at Seawanhaka. I am very pleased to award this honor to Captain Robert Terry.

We look forward to sailing with and against you in the warm time coming soon… I hope.

Eric
