Open Wide…

Today is the 126th Opening Day at San Diego Yacht Club. It is a day to make sure your “dressed ship” is in “bristol” condition and ready for inspection. The dock with the highest percentage of dressed yachts will be awarded a prize. I hear that the prize has been a dock cart full of beer and wine in the past. Tradition has it that signal flags are flown from the mast to create the festive atmosphere that kicks off the new sailing season.
