New Feature: Club Chronicles
A few weeks ago I asked members who wanted to contribute to The Buzz to send me their articles. So this week we are starting Club Chronicles, an occasional series of stories from members. Our first contributor is member Neal Doten with an inspiring story. See below.

Annual Member Survey
Tomorrow you will receive the annual survey of members. We do this every year to check that the information we have in our database is correct. This year we are adding a couple of other items to the process. You can give feedback on how you think The Club is doing and also give us your thoughts on what events you’d like to see next year.

Holiday Parties
The events team has put together a fun party for kids (at 2:00 pm) and adults (at 4:00 pm) on Sunday the 11th. Join in the fun and sign up below.

And the Annual Harbor Holiday Open House is on Saturday the 17th at 4:00 pm. Sign up here.

My Ophthalmologist Got It Right
By Neal Doten

“You know the kids in the small coastal towns of Mexico don’t have sunglasses.” This was the reply I got
from my eye doctor while she was performing my annual eye exam; I told her I was leaving in a couple of
weeks to cruise the coasts of Baja and mainland Mexico.

She caught me by surprise on two accounts: how did she know, and why hadn’t I considered that?

“Hmmm. Good point. How can I help when I’m there?”

She suggested I could take some of the temporary “sunglasses” (aka “Roll-Lens”) that she provides to her patients after an exam involving pupil dilation. Needless to say, I walked out of the office with a plastic bag of them.

I didn’t get a chance to be a “sunglasses good Samaritan” until anchoring off the beach in Chacala – about 50 nm north of Puerto Vallarta. It was an idyllic setting with a sandy beach, waterfront thatched-roof palapa restaurants, and palm trees – a “riviera for the middle-class Mexicans.”

The only “Gringos” one encountered on the beach or in the small town were from the anchored cruising
boats.

As you can see, I encountered a mother watching her two kids playing in the water. Seeking permission
in my best Spanish (not all that great), I asked her if I could give the kids sunglasses. She okayed it, and
as you can see the kids thought the sunglasses were really fun. They were all smiles!

Walking down the beach after that, I wondered how my ophthalmologist knew . . . plus I was enjoying the feeling of having done something good for someone.
