During the summer of 1933, Mr. William McDillon started a camp on the west side of the channel just south of what was then the old #3 Ice House. Mr. McDillon's brother-in-law, Charles Thamm, lived in a tent on those grounds. They rented rowboats, sold bait, and later sold pop. In the meantime, people who had boats started to keep them there.
Eventually, sailboats were brought in and mooring cans were put in the channel. The sailors started racing and the idea of starting a club was brought up. In the meantime McDillon, Thamm, and Al Brayshaw (McDillon's son-in-law) started to build a two room tarpaper shack with a porch where candy, pop and beer could be sold.
