Bermuda Station Report September 2022

A Newport Race year is always a busy one for the Bermuda Station. Our Somers Kempe was Race Chair this year and his father Stephen Bermuda chair. As you will read elsewhere it was a very successful event.

One local highlight is the reception we hold for CCA participants in the race. Organized by past host Alex Cooper, the party this year was held at the home of departed NBR legend Kirk Cooper. His widow, Helen, was a most gracious host and the event was a great opportunity for Commodore Otorowski to present her with a plaque honoring Kirk’s achievements. It was a beautiful evening with about 100 guests enjoying the cliff side view over Soncy Bay, about a half mile west of the RBYC.

Bermudians are great travelers in the summer. Our next get together will be in October.
