Founders Award - Lynn Hoenke

Lynn has, in many ways been the “glue” that holds the community of Salty Dawg together for many years. Aboard “Roxy” Lynn organized events for the Dawgs at countless rendezvous, including the Dominica rendezvous that attracted dozens of member boats to that island for a week of hiking and parties. Her presence on the morning VHF nets in Antigua, especially during the rally arrival period with dozens of events, and elsewhere drew large audiences in harbors and her infectious laugh brought smiles to the lips of our members.
“In many ways Lynn truly represents the best of Salty Dawg and the cruising community, with her endless enthusiasm and dedication to the group’s goal of “sailors helping sailors”. Bob Osborn, immediate past president SDSA.
