Our next door neighbor, Bob Hapeman, turned 100 years old Saturday
and still goes dancing a couple times a week. Saturday night proved that
many of the Yacht Club members are still young at heart also “At the Hop”! The dinner crew did a fantastic job of decorating the club house
and Wolfman Jack provided great music to dance to. People seemed to
ignore the normal early SB “curfew” and danced late into the evening.
The dinner catered by The Lunch Box at Bill’s Diner in Mount Vernon,
was befitting to the event and dessert at the Dolphin Diner was Banana
Splits! Thank you to the dinner hosts Murray & Val Laidley and Dennis Largé & Susan Brown, and crew members Jack & Janet Cheetham, Bill & Brenda
Davis, Randi & Dale Freidig, Myrna Mahin, Linda Olsson, Jan & Roger Riediger and
Wolfman Jack: Jim Barrett and XERB 1570 AM station manager Linda Barrett! Trivia
fact: many listeners assumed that Wolfman Jack (Bob Smith) was African American,
though in fact he was of European descent!
Shakedown Cruise
Up next is the shakedown cruise to Anacortes April 23rd, 24th and 25th - please see attached flyer for
details.
Planning for Opening Day on May 9th is well under
way. Murray, Jim and Bud will have more infor-
mation on those events in the attached flyer.
I am happy that the Yacht Club authorized spending fund to help spruce up the Shelter Bay Community
Club House. See Murray’s article for complete
details of the election ballot results.
New Dolphin Editor Needed
On a bit of a less happy note, we are now in the position of looking for a new Dolphin Editor. Linda Barrett has decided to resign as Shelter Bay Yacht Club Dolphin Editor.
Linda was the editor for a number of years and passed it on in 2014, and then took it
back later in the year when the new editor had a conflict with her day job. We again
thank Linda for her service as Dolphin editor. So call me if you would like to take on
this important position within the Yacht Club. The Dolphin is produced with Microsoft Publisher, so knowledge of that application would be helpful. Please Email or call
[email protected] or 466-7469.

Opening Day 2015
Plans are shaping up for events for this year’s Opening Day on Saturday, May 9th. Look for-
ward to a display of dinghies on the hard and in the water. Have a unique or special dink? Or
just one to get the dog back and forth to the beach? Each and every one has a story. It’s time
to clean yours up and get it on the trailer or in the water to show us what you’ve got. We will have a cordoned off display area near the marina restrooms and slips available near the
events for those in the water.
And,… we will be bringing supplies so you can team with your dinner mates to construct and
decorate your own model boat centerpiece, and a competition to see which is “fastest”.
Call for Auction and Raffle items
The Opening Day Auction and Raffle is one of our club’s main funding events for the year. Please consider
donating gift certificates, hosted dinners for four or six, on the water experiences, boating supplies, new and
gently used equipment, safety equipment, art and crafts. Just about anything you can think of. Send me a
description of your item with a picture or photo and we will make arrangements to get it displayed. All dona-
tions are welcome.
Ballot Results
A number of Bylaw Revision Resolutions and one Spending Resolution were voted at the March Clubhouse
Dinner on March 21st. All passed, with the Bylaw Revisions meeting the 2/3 majority vote and the Spending
Resolution meeting the simple majority vote. See the Teller’s Report in this Newsletter for the details. Special thanks to Clark and Joan Scarboro, Judi Slager and Tom Rosadiuk for serving as our Voting
Supervisors and Tellers.
Rear Commodore—Jim Barrett
Spring is here and Opening Day can’t be too far away. A full day of events are planned and
this year you will have the option of coming for the wine and beer garden only for $5, and
perhaps bidding on one of those great auction items, or you can sign up for the full day’s
events for $20 and have a continental breakfast, the beer/wine garden and a great dinner.
See the flyer in this issue for full details.
Speaking of spring, remember “Spring Break” - those crazy trips, firm bodies on the beach
and way too much to drink. Now, in Shelter Bay it’s—get the lawn mower working, clean the
gutters, paint the fence, put the deck furniture out and way too much to drink. WC
reminded me the other day that being happy is a decision we each can make every day when
we get up. It works for me.

From the Charthouse, Bud Myers—Fleet Captain
Cruising season starts with our
Shakedown Cruise to Anacortes on
April 23-25. Check out the flyer and
get registered online asap for this fun
3-day cruise!
A big thank you goes out to the
McGarrys and their crew, consisting
of the Galbraiths, Silhans and
Veselkas, for being port hosts of our
Sucia Cruise in September.
What’s in a boat name? They all come in various phrases and terms. So, I thought it fun to find out
how they came about. I’d like to do about three per
month in the month’s coming.
1. Jim and Linda Barrett’s 35’ Chris is called
“Part Two”. Jim tells me he arrived at this name by
experiencing, you might say, “Part Two” of his life. He purchased the boat to live-a-board; upon becoming
single and was, at the time, also in the media busi-
ness at the U of W. With the entertainment back-
ground, he knew there could be a “part one” and “part
two” to a movie or play. Jim felt this was “part two”
for him and why not name his boat the same. I say very clever and creative. Thanks for sharing.
2. Congrats to Tom and Teresa Sigmond on their
recent purchase of a 4588 Bayliner, pilot house,
which they’ve named: “Secret Sea”. I asked Teresa
how they arrived on the name. Recently they were
very serious about another Bayliner, and were anxious to tell everyone about it, but unfortunately
their survey found problems and squashed the
deal. So, on to the next one. This time, deciding to
keep it secret, until the purchase was final. Hence the
name: “Secret Seas” --- I like it!!
3. Bill Plummer and Jennifer Johnston own a 43’ Bayliner called the “Katlian; properly pronounced (cat-
lee-ann). The name comes from a Tlingit Indian chief,
who resided in Sitka Alaska during the1800’s, and
was well documented as being responsible for driving
out the Russians from his Native lands. Bill lived in
Sitka for 2 ½ years, while working for a local health corp., and during his stay, was proudly adopted by a
Tlingit family. In learning the history of this famous
Indian chief (“Katlian”), he felt a kinship and held the
name very close. Three boats later: 26’ Tolley, 34’
Tolley, and 43’ Bayliner all carried the name of “Katlian”. Hey Bill and Jennifer, looks like 8-9 foot-
itis. Will the next one be 51or 52 feet?

Training Coordinator—Jack Cheetham
The March 12th Training session, “Planning a Trip to Princess Louisa” had 17 members in

hazards to be aware of when traveling to this remote destination. Well done Chris. The list of
additional readings below might also be of interest to you.
April 4th is Fire Extinguisher renewal time. Mike Eddy with Pacific Rim Fire, Inc. will be providing this service. You can drop off your extinguishers with me in the morning and I will
call you when ready to pick up and pay the bill. We need a good turnout to insure we can
provide this dock side service by Pacific Rim in the future.
The following Saturday April 11th the “Everett Power Squadron” will be providing “Coast Guard Vessel Safety
Check” inspections free of charge, upon passing the inspection you will receive the certification sticker for 2015. See the attached flyer for more information.
