Hopefully, everyone will have a chance to read this report early,
since I am now making my first appeal for HELP from everyone who has a
boat and will be out boating August 4th through the 6th. That is the
Annual “Officers of The Grand 14” Cruise in, which is held at Bremerton
Yacht Club. In theory, there could be 39 visiting boats needing to be
berthed at BYC. Please contact Float Chairman Dana Cutting or me,
if you will have an empty slot in the Club Cover, a Boat Shed, or an
Open Slip. If you know of someone who is already out cruising, and you
are confident they would allow their shed to be used for the weekend,
please pass that info along to us. Your assistance in accommodating
the visiting Officers will be GREATLY appreciated.
I see by the sign-up sheet in the Clubhouse (as well as through direct
conversation) that we have an enthusiastic Mike and Lisa Ryan chairing
the July 19th Picnic in the Park. I also have it
on pretty reliable
authority, that they are going to be hosting the last one of this
summer’s Picnics in the Park on August 16th as well. [This editor's
understanding is that John & Marilyn
Adair are chairing this event].
Mike and Lisa
will leave no stone unturned in making for a “Fun Event
”,
so
mark your
calendars and join us in the Park. The Club is working on plans to
totally renovate the existing Park, so let’s all turn out to bid it
farewell in its present form.
Our House and Grounds Chairman, Bob McWaid is now working hard on
sprucing up the parking lots. Anyone wishing to help Bob with this
worthwhile endeavor, while satisfying some of their 16 Work Party
hours, please contact Bob and offer your services. I will notify the
new Work Party Co-Chairmen, Allen Fox and Mike Ryan, to ensure your
hours are credited.
If you have a Railway haulout scheduled soon, please make yourselves
aware of the newly implemented
changes to the Waste Water Procedures
that have been REQUIRED by the State prior to the haulout. We really
need your understanding and full cooperation in order to be able to
maintain our wonderful array of Facilities. We are the ENVY of the
other Yacht Clubs in the Puget Sound with our Fuel Dock, Waste Pump,
and Marine Railway. With a little bit of extra diligence on everyone’s
part, we can maintain that envious leadership role.
Wishing each of you and yours a season of “Happy Cruising”, I remain
your humble Servant,
Mike Dunn, Rear Commodore
