Hoofer Sailing's head of instruction (HOI) has announced his departure, effective before the end of this season. We commend him on his decision not to linger. The HOI position should be a revolving position to let as many individuals as possible get experience at this important job. It also ought to be an unpaid position, but that's another post.
Nevertheless, Brian's move is surprising considering that Hoofer Coordinator/Advisor Jim Rogers promoted Brian earlier this year to Assistant Hoofer Advisor. We wonder: Did JimR promote Brian in the hope of influencing him to stay longer..? After all, three years must seem like mere seconds to the Hoofer Coordinator who was HOI for fifteen years. Yet, Brian has chosen to flee to the business school. Perhaps he is going to reunite with former Hoofer Advisor Steve Schroeder to discuss ways to fix all that is wrong with Hoofers.
But what a run Borko has had! Sailing instructor. Commodore. Head of Instruction. Assistant Hoofer Advisor. Yet, one wonders if he ever actually made it into the most elite clique in HSC, which is by secret invitation only. Not even as commodore is a person necessarily invited into that club! Of course, some don't want to join. Among other things, it requires an unpublicized nighttime cruise with certain long-time male Hoofer leaders who all get naked and jump into the water together. Or maybe that's why Brian wanted out—he was invited into that club, known to some as the pole jumpers....
Unofficial minutes of Monday's unannounced meeting to form an unofficial "committee" to look for Borko's replacement are here.
