The February 12 meeting of the Pacific Inter-Club Yachting Association was held at Marin Yacht Club, which has a beautiful clubhouse and grounds set well back from the main road on its own peninsula, with pickleball courts and a pool. It has a well decorated Main Dining Room and a well- appointed upstairs bar with a lovely view of the San Rafael Creek entrance. It was great to have Michael Proctor there also representing Berkeley Yacht Club.
