Yoga at DBSC

You may have stumbled across a yoga session at the clubhouse in recent weeks. That’s because blok yoga has set up a pop-up studio at DBSC, offering classes on Wednesday and Friday mornings at 6:30am and Thursday evenings at 6:30pm. DBSC members receive 50% off with code HALFABLOK. Why not try it out? It’s great way to stretch out after hiking. Find out more HERE.

Members Helping Out

A quick thank you to the many members who do their part in helping keep DBSC a well-run, all-volunteer organization.  We know that so many of you volunteer week in and week out, and it’s much appreciated.Two special mentions this week. Jim Dounis gave us a list of things after his recent COTD duties, and he also fixed them – new tackle reels, missing anchor c-clamp … all sourced, purchased, and installed.  Separately, Daryl Lawrence decided (unasked) to purchase a glass polishing kit and to donate his time and the kit to polish the badly scratched front windscreen of the Jazzman. He had noticed the scratches, and he made the decision to do something about it.  Thanks to Jim, Daryl, and the many others who do their part — taking ownership of problems and fixing them unasked. It’s actions like these that make DBSC the amazing place it is.

Sailing with the Crocks

Last week Brett Beyer and Nick Alexander competed in Sail Airlie and the Open Queensland State Titles in Bowen. Brett took out both in light tricky conditions. Nick was 5th overall in the States. Well done to both DBSCers. The highlight of the trip was the crocodile warning sign at the top of the boat ramp where they launched each day (see below).

DBSC change rooms were made available to 18ft sailors between 2pm and 5:30pm on Sundays and the canteen was to be operational and fully equipped each Sunday to offer light refreshments and snacks.
