Fellow Sailors,
 
    There is sad news for our sailing community in this morning's obituaries.  Walter R. "Bud" Ellett, long-time Great Salt Lake sailor and Great Salt Lake Yacht Club member has passed away.  Many of you will remember Bud and his Catalina 27 "Windsong."
I remember, many years ago, seeing Bud sail "Windsong" into the marina and into his slip single-handed, which greatly impressed me.  Whenever I'm able to do that now with my boat, I think of Bud.
 
His obituary and a link to the guest book can be seen at
