Ron and wife Lori moved to Bainbridge Island in 2003 from the Bay Area. Ron learned to sail at age 10 through a program with a local yacht club. Ron enjoyed sailing and power boating in the Bay Area before career interrupted. Since moving to Bainbridge, Ron and Lori purchased their 1978 trawler, Last Class, and have explored the South Sound, Central Puget Sound and into the San Juans and Gulf Islands. With retirement, Ron and Lori are looking forward to exploring even further north. Ron has enjoyed participating in EHYC events, serving on the Cruise Committee and serving as cruise co-captain to Gig Harbor and Port Orchard.

Jeff and his wife (and former commodore) Deane moved to Bainbridge Island in 2017, from upstate New York. They attended the Seattle Boat Show and were smitten. They learned that the Kerby’s had their Cutwater 30 for sale… Terry Kerby is a fine salesman, so they bought it, and of course he recruited them for the club! A year or so later the Pfeils attended another boat show and moved up to their current Back Cove 41. Winslow Wharf couldn’t accommodate the 41 so they found a slip at Liberty Bay Marina in Poulsbo, which they love. And they liked Poulsbo so much that they moved up there in 2022. EHYC is a great way to meet many people and they have been active cruisers with the club, enjoying it so much.
