We are getting to the high season for
boating in the
Baltic region and I am looking forward to
a loooong summer vacation with lot's of balmy days, sun, sun, sun, warm water and a
wonderful time to be out boating.
It it is also going to to be the season when Web
Commander celebrate her 42nd season.
Anyway, according to her Hull Card she was shipped from Chris Craft's
Holland plant 11th of August 1966.

Now,
42 years later she is in as good shape as ever, marked, if nothing else,
that everything has been working properly and no problems whatsoever.
Touch wood!
This will also be Web Commander's 9th
season since the major restoration that was completed in 1999.

Double Meanings
The Chris Craft
Commander Club is probably one of Internet's longest lasting and most
active online boating communities. Recently, I was asked to join the
Executive Committee of the Club and to assume the role of webmaster.
Now that's a
challenge! Firstly, it is all about keeping the activity going. Secondly
the first assignment was to completely redesign the site and to
introduce new sections, new content and an new Dock shop for Club
merchandise.
Well after much hard
work the new site is now live and kicking. Check it out at:
www.commanderclub.com
So here I am, the
webmaster of a Commander Club. How fitting that I have a boat named Web
Commander. Suddenly it is both a boat name and a title.
The tough question
now is what happens when I resign? Will the boat name go with the
title?!
