Welcome to this episode of The Shooting The Breeze Sailing Podcast (STBSP)! This time around we burn some socks for the equinox, as Hances Point Yacht Club celebrates their opening day festivities in 2025. It's been almost Ten years since we've recorded one of these ceremonies. We also speak with Jim and Jessie, now that they've upgraded to a 36ft boat, we are introduced to Ray and Kerry and talk to them about upgrading to a 38ft Catalina, we also get updates from Luke and Julie! The band is the Sin City Band, and the bagpiper is named Duncan Moore. We have speeches from HPYC members Chris, Tom, and Cherie. At the end of the podcast we play an Earth Day tribute from the RJ Phillips Band, "Listen to the Birds." We also pay tribute to passed members Bob Stringfellow, Jack Chun, and former podcast guest Dr. Jim Bailey.
