style="FONT-FAMILY: tahoma,new york,times,serif; COLOR: #000000; FONT-SIZE: 12pt">Greetings
- <BR>thought this great group would find this of interest:<BR><BR><BR>I have
attached our yacht club's June 2009 "Sparkler" newsletter, 16-pgs, for the
<SPAN style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold; TEXT-DECORATION: underline">"Fourth of July
Yacht Club"</SPAN>, on Catalina Island, adjacent to Two Harbors, Catalina
Island, CA.<BR><BR>I know you are asking, what a weird name for a yacht
club. <BR>The reason is historical:<BR><BR>The Banning Bros (of So CA
railroad fame) owned the 25 mile-long Catalina Island in the 1800's, prior to
be sold to Mr Wrigley (aka chewing gum). The Banning's desired the west
end of the island over the now-more-crowed Avalon east end. So they built
their home at Two Harbors (aka "The Isthmus"), overlooking both sides of the
island (it's only a few hundred yards between the front and back sides at the
Isthmus), which all of us So CA boaters know as the "Banning House" - the only
place to stay on the West End, other than a boat or camping<BR>. <BR>The
Banning's tradition was to spend their Fourth of July weekends in the small
adjacent cove, thus the name Fourth of July Cove...from which we derive our
yacht club name from 36 years ago.<BR><BR>Our yacht clubs moto: "Thirty-six
years of tradition, unhampered by progress"<BR><BR>Take a look at the attached
16-pg pdf newsletter I put together, as well as took nearly all the photos
with my new Canon 5D-MkII.<BR>
