                                                              (from Foghorn, March, 2012)

                                                              Picture
                                                              Two thousand twelve is a new year with great expectations. Already I see a new zest for sailing and a new team hitting the ground running. I am impressed with the new people in the RGYC and their commitment to making it better and more fun than year’s past.

                                                              This year, I envision our sailing season will be the best with great winds and great people to build great friendships as well as keeping the same with the old friends. The new mast-up is a sure sign of progress as we endeavor to move forward. A special thanks to our past Commodores and officers for their foresight in getting us this far and thanks to all who volunteer in helping us achieve a better Club.

                                                              Hope to see you on the water at our beautiful Elephant Butte Lake and most of all have fun and be safe.
