work of hauling anchors for the inflatable marks.
Commodore Charlie Burns is enthusiastic when he talks
about the culture and lure of the Midwest.
"There are wilderness shores no matter where you sail. It's
not crowded and there are no city lights to guide you home,
except the northern lights at the end of August. We're in the
heart of the Prairies with a harsh climate, but in the harshness
there is beauty. Because the lake is so large, you can see the curvature of the earth on the horizon. The further north you sail,
the more it becomes like Muskoka, with less sediment in the
water. In the winter, we get four feet of ice over the lake with ice
bridges, and the earth quakes from the ice cracking. The people
are in touch with nature and what is real. Prairie common sense
and self-reliance prevail. "
The members basked in the warmest summer in decades to
enjoy their 50th birthday in 2017. They could be found using
the barbeques on Saturdays or after racing on Wednesday
nights, enjoying each other's tales of cruising, racing tactics, tall
fish tales, or just plain enjoying time with family and friends.
One thing that I certainly took home after the Canada Games
was that this is a club with tremendous camaraderie and a volunteer spirit that's reminiscent of their forefathers' legacy. *

The Pier is another legacy from the 1967 Pan Am Games.
