Past Commodore BernieGates back up andaround. He was recently

hospitalized for a littlewhile, but looks as goodas ever! I realize that thistime of year can be kindof depressing with the

warm and fun days of summer slipping away.October is a transitionalmonth, as we slip thebonds of warm summerdays and prepare for thewinter. But the work be-

hind the scenes at PortClinton Yacht Club neverceases. So enjoy everyday and spend some of them with your friends at

PCYC!

Pardon me if Iwax nostalgically aboutthe great Labor Dayweekend at Port Clinton

Yacht Club. My personalthanks go out to headbartender Ted Wierzba,Skip Sorgen and AndySchlotterer for their helpin putting the Commo-dore’s Wine Tasting and

Smoker on Thursday, Au-gust 29. It was a beauti-ful night, the Tall ShipsPATHFINDER and PLAY-FAIR arrived right on time,and Val Thayer did agreat job organizing thewine tasting. We hadclose to 100 folks on thedeck on a beautifulThursday night, and itwas just a terrific event.

That was followedby a fantastic Green Is-land Race weekend. Con-gratulations to Thomasand Park McRitchieaboard JEB for sweeping the top awards, including the Carl Schwentzfier Tro-phy for 1st Overall inPHRF which also meanwinning the coveted“Green Jacket”. We had a

very good representationfrom PCYC in the race. Iam happy to report thatyour Commodore and hiscrew sailed SCOOP to a2nd place finish in thePHRF-C class. It was atough slog up to GreenIsland, but the wind

picked up and we wereable to finish the race in

good time.Speaking of sail-

ing, the Snow FlurriesRegatta is the weekendof September 28 and 29.I assume you will get andread this prior to thatweekend. Tammy Al-mendinger is very good

about getting it postedearly. Anyway, enjoy yourclub that weekend, enjoythe Snow FlurriesChicken Barbecue, andhelp us welcome the visit-ing sailors for the week-end. There is also FridayNight Snacks on Septem-

ber 27.The biggest event

Hello everyone! Let me

give you an update on

what’s going on around

the club.

We have a few projects

that are winding down

and a couple ready to

start.

1. Wireless Network: I

have NOT been success-

ful in being able to stay

within the budget the

Board approved for the

wireless network. This

project is being put on

hold until the spring

where it may be revisited.

2. Irrigation System: Pro-

gress was made Septem-

ber 19th by the team of

Eric Reynolds, Bob

Mosser, Doug & Janet

Bixler and myself on the

irrigation system. Morethan 1000’ was put in the

ground, all the sprinkler

heads were installed and

the trenches filled.

Thanks guys (and Gal) for

a good hard days work.

Eric reported that there

were no leaks either!

There are still a few areas

to finish, but the heavy

work is done.

3. Since the Sail Garageexpansion has been put

on hold, we will be fenc-

ing that area with privacy

screen to use as a stor-

age area.

4. Wood boarder along

the stone on the river.

The boarder will retain

the stone and give a nice

finished edge to plant

grass up to.

5.Care Taker’s Garage:The garage will be under-going some much neededupdates in the few weeks.The structure has beenunsecured for severalyears and not useable.When complete, it will besecure, have lights andheat.

The pool has been cov-ered, winterized and will

receive some fall mainte-

nance in the pump room.

Eric reports that the pool

hasn’t looked this good

post season since

he started here.

Hats off to all that

have contributed

over the past couple of

years to restore it, main-

tain it, manage it and

staff it. It is one of our

most important assets!

The Fall Work Party is

coming up in a few

weeks. Please mark your

calendars for October

22nd to be a part of a

great event. If you have

not been to one in the

past, why not try this

one? We treat our volun-teers to free doughnuts,

bloodys, coffee and

lunch. The more people

we have, the more we

can accomplish…. If you

have a project you would

like considered, get it to

me quick so I can review

it. [email protected]

That’s all for now, see youaround the club!
