Joining the Sailing Club is one of the best bargains in the Village and a lot of fun for those who participate. Soon there will be an article in the UCO Reporter about getting certified to sail. Ron Helms, commodore (translate: president) of the Sailing Club, had volunteered to demonstrate on Tuesday, January 7, how to right a capsized sailboat out on the lake, get back in, and swim a lap in the pool without using the ladder––the two requirements for certification. Well, yesterday was January 7. It turned out to be a windy day and the coldest day of the season so far. The question was: Would Ron show up under these arctic conditions, and would he go through with the demonstration, which Ken Graff was at the dock to film? Ron did without missing a beat and WAS VERY IMPRESSIVE.
So, congratulations of the day to Ron Helms on a job well done!
