We are sorry to report that our Port Captain for Port Dalhousie (O-11), Mr. Roy Cairns, passed away at the end of October. Roy was a member of the Dalhousie Yacht Club for many years and worked very hard to improve boating in our waters. He worked tirelessly behind the scenes, and he will be missed by all of us.
