Treasurer’s Report

Treasurer’s Fictional Biography:

 

(Editor’s note: Since club Treasurer, Shelley Hays, did not submit a biography your editor decided to make one up for her!)

 

My husband, Ken Hays, and I have been members of the BVYC for several years starting with the KSU Sailing Club before purchasing our boat Tah-Keel- Ya Time a Tanzer 7.5 (This much is true, none of the rest is)

 

After having served as the chief economic advisor to both the John Kerry and George W. Bush presidential cam-paigns I was pleased to get back to my first love, long distance single handed ocean sailing.  Although I hold many long distance records I decided to go after single-handed circumnavigation record for a proa.  All went well and I successfully completed the trip, but now the certifying committee is giving trouble claiming I sailed the proa backwards the whole way around.  Hey, a simple mistake like that is easier to make in a proa than you might think.

 

Anyway, it is good to be back with real sailors at the Blue Valley Yacht Club.  Here the sailors know front from back; where they are headed and the fiscal policies make a lot more sense than either W’s or the wind-surfer’s.
