Taken from farther north and looking south, the tower is seen with the flagpole in front, for the purpose of signal flags that could be visible to the boats in a race. NSYC had better sand than the public beach, and in about 1960 they traded places.
Note the bottom of the stairs that came down directly from the equipment lockers on the second floors. In the background can be seen parts of the water treatment plant (ruins) next to the facility still in use.
The clubhouse is in the background. Later photos show it painted a darker color. Just out of the photo to the right was the electric winch that was used to pull boats and trailers from the water to the line where they stayed during the summer.

Back Row: Unknown, Andy Kaiser, Gunter Schwandt, RCE Carlson; Front Row: Pete Weinert, Bud Harring. Note the patch on Gunter Schwandt's blazer pocket. It may be the one visible in #1455 and 1456.
RCE Carlson with his third son, Craig. Note the bottom of the stairs that came down directly from the equipment lockers on the second floors. In the background can be seen parts of the water treatment plant (ruins) next to the facility still in use.
Eldest son Robert S. (Bob) practicing his anti-aircraft skills against whatever was flying by. Note the platform from which races could be observed from the shore. I was always unhappy that it lacked a permanent ladder to let me up for a look.
Looking northward: Bill, Craig, Unknown, and Bob Carlson (sons of RCE and Grace). Dress Code was relaxed for two-year-olds. (A fourth son arrived in 1960.)
