Skates carnouflaged in the sand suddenly dart away when they sense the shadow of the hull, though I rarely see them as more than brief streaks in my peripheral vision.
The Big Bend of Florida begins at Apalachicola, leads northeast into Apalachee Bay, and then turns abruptly to the southeast, ending at Cedar Key. It is 150 miles of shoreline, an often lonely arc of Floridat coast protected from development by the shallowness of its depths. Two miles and more from shoreline I am able for long stretches to watch the bottom passing several feet below me, and when I stop to rest I can stand waist deep in the water. Now and then as I pass
The shoreline from a distance is for miles on end a blur of salt marsh with a backdrop of trees, but I ve been of a mind to row and not explore, and have watched as unpeopled points ofthe coast pass by at a

But otherwise I watch as I row above thousands of acres of plant life, thick blades of grass, forests of what look like the miniature trees used by architects to suggest landscaping around models of enormous buildings, and varieties of other leafy growth. Here and there I float above Shermanesque scars a foot wide and extending in

It rarely occurs to me while rowing that I could drive the distances ahead of me in a fraction of my rowing time, and that thousands of people on parallel roads are doing just that. But
when such a thought does suddenly cross my mind it passes just as quickly, irrelevant. Hundreds and thousands of strokes of the oars which pull the boat through water are sometimes arduous, sometimes mesmerizing, but most often, as breath, very nearly unnoticed.

Jose Colon Retires Artr, 42 Years of Seruice by Barbara Matthopoulos
rriving A morning, first
at Belmont Station one beautiful August the person I saw with a grand smile on his face was Chicago Yacht Clubt Jose Colon. \Torking near the herb garden at rhe entrance of the Club, it was clear that Joe, as many know him, was taking in the sweet smell of home. After 42 years of service at Belmont Station, Jose Colon has retired from his full-time position at the Club. Before he left, I sat down to chat with the "Joe of all trades" to learn more about the man behind the scenes at Belmont. Born in Puerto fuco on September 8, 1940, Jose attended school through his pre-teen years before beginning treacherous labor, in the regiont sugar cane fields. In the earliest days of his first job, Joe recalls earning a weekly salary of $20.00. After Joet mother carne to Chicago, Joe left Puerto Rico in the winter of 1959, at the age of 19, to join her. 'When ]oe first arrived to the \7indy City, he immediately began working for a lumber company, followed by a temporary position working for a tool manufacrurer.
"Life is too s/tort. . .!ou neaer hnoru. " Joe was living in an apartment on the cityt north side when he met Lou, a Chicago Yacht Club staff member
in the maintenance department. Lou told Joe that he was looking for an employee to work from 11:00 at night to 7:00 in the morning. The eager young man instantly took the job. During this shift, Joe recalls the various responsibilities he had. "At night, I would clean, buff the floors, set the tables. Back then, we did everyrhing," Joe exclaims. \W/hen he first started at the Club, Joe says he was making $1.25 an hour. After working nights for six years, Joe was transferred to a day'time shift.
appears behind me entirely acceptable.
Particularly along this stretch I stop to look down into this separate world, and watch as a wilderriess of grasses and Lilliputian forest sways in its own liquid wind. As I sit in the bow and lean my head over the side, I can see the biological and mineral seadusr suspended and drifting in the tide, and, in undulating reflection precisely where the uppermost elevation of the water seamlessly meets the lowest point of sky, I can see myself leaning over the wooden gunwhale. For a lucid,

In 1965, at a friendt house for Thanksgiving, Joe's life changed forever when he met a beautiful woman named Ida. Also born in Puerto Rico, Ida had five children of her own when she met Joe, as she was
recently widowed. Joe courted Ida for twelve years, in which time the
couple had four chil-

the winter seasons past at Belmont. "The barge would move all over the place. \7e would tie the trophy case with rope to keep it from falling down." Joe adds, "Belmont is and always has been a true sailors' club. The barge is like my second home."
John Cummings, Chef/Manager at Belmont Station, has worked with Joe for more than 15 years. Cummings reflects on the many days of work they have shared, "It was Joe Colon who influenced me on the art of longevity in the workplace. Joe has taught me to do this with the way he has humbly accepted his role here at the
Club". \X/hile Joe feels it will be hard to be away from the Club on a full-time basis, he has other plans that will definitely keep him busy. The grandfather of seven has many people waiting to visit with him after he sells most of his belongings and vacates his apartment. In the fall, Joe will visit his daughter in Miami, and then head to Puerto Rico for the rest of the year to spend time with
his sister. Joe ended his conversation with me by giving me these brilliant words of advice, "Life is too short...you
never know." Indeed, truer words were neyer spoken. Thanks Joe. lWe are all going to miss you.
stunning moment, as when one is wholly distracted, transfixed in deja vu, I am no longer myself with a name and a history of associations and preferences, but reduced simply to a breathing, observing presence, and the feeling of the slightest breeze on my arm, the long oar whose red blade floats idly on the ware! and a single architectt tree amid the miniature, aqueous forestscape below are all utterly astonishing.

Spe c i a l Eve n t
2002 Opti Nationals Sarasota, Florida
I
by jenny Goldberg
n July of 2002, the Chicago Yacht Club sent six of its Opti sailors to compete at the Opti Fleet Nationals at the Sarasota Sailing Squadron in Sarasota, Florida. The team members were Molly Boyd, Jordan Factor (both of whom sailed in the Green Fleet), Jenny Goldberg, Van Sandwick, Sandy W illiams, and Michael Whitford (all of whom sailed in the Red, White, and Blue Fleets). Jim Hughes and John Vandermoer were coaching every step of the way. On the first day, everyone got to stand in long lines with their boats, spars, sail, and blades to get them meas ured. We were taken out onto the water for a practice race, and were rushed back in due to a storm. We had safety tags with numbers on them, which were to be taken off of a board in the morning and put on our life jackets before we went out on the water. The tag would later be taken off of our lifejackets and put back on the board at the end of every day to ensure everyone had gotten in safely and chat no one had met with a shark. Because we were sailing in salt water, the boat wash, a wooden arch with water springing out of it, was highly recommended after each day's racing. Also provided were barrels of deaning solution for us to dip our blades into. The second day, the Red, White, and Blue Fleecers started off with three races. The temperature in Florida lived up to its reputation. Over 100 degree weather found us as we rigged our boats, drinking two to three bottles of water in the morning on land! We 1ried to cool off by wading in the beach. The girls picked up shells, but in one shell we disturbed a hermit crab's sleep. The boys were teasing a walking crab in the shallow water and it got its revenge by snapping at their toes. Pelicans watched us from the pier. The third day we squeezed in four races. There were many false starts. It took over an hour for some races to finish, which resulted in us not coming in until 8:00 pm. Not many people hear this, but we were cold not to get up early in the mornings, to conserve our enerzy for the day. Because there is no wind in the morning in chis part of Florida, the first race of each day was planned for 1 :00 or later, and sometimes we were still on the water into the late evening. On the fourth day we did three more races. During

some of the races, we met friendly dolphins swimming on the race course. On the fifth and final day we all got soaking wet wait ing out a big storm. When the storm ended, we could tell chat there would be no wind even before we went out, but we had only done ten races and the race com mittee wanted us to do at least one more so we could have two throw outs. We went out but sure enough at 3:00, after we had been sitting on the water, the race committee blew the horn, raised the abandonment flag (to many loud cheers) and sent us in. At the end of day was the awards ceremony. There were about 280 sailors from all over the U.S. and even other countries. Jordan Factor came home with a 9th place trophy for the Green Fleet. Ocher than racing, the team visited Kilwin's Ice Cream Shop, where you could find candies, homemade fudge, chocolates, and a big assortment of ice creams, including one flavor named after Mackinac Island. We went shopping at the beach stores and watched scary movies in the evening. We also had a good time having chicken fights in our hotel pool and drinking pina coladas (non-alcoholic, of course)! Next summer will be even more exciting when the 2003 Opti Nationals come to Chicago!
