At the end of the month, we

have all of the festivities sur-

rounding the 2013 Green Is-land Race, which should be

huge this year with the TallShips Festival in Port Clinton

To welcome the Tall Ships,

Skip Sorgen and I are hostinga Wine and Cigar Smoker on

the deck on Thursday, Augus

29, the evening when the Tal

Ships are due to arrive. Wewill welcome them with a

cannon salute. That will befollowed by the arrival of theGreen Island Race competi-

tors from the feeder races

from North Cape and San-dusky. There will be enter-

tainment from my favorite

band, the Travelin Lounge

Lizards on Saturday night,and then the Race on Sunday

We expect a big turnout this

year thanks to the Tall Shipsbeing in port across the Port-

age River.

Dont forget, Friday NightSnacks every Friday in Au-

gust. Enjoy your club. Rest

assured that your Board ofTrustees is working hard to

make it a great place for all.

Dear Lordplease turn off thespigot!!! I think we have had

enough rain for the summer.

Port Clinton had over 7 inches

of rain in June and by mid

July, we have already experi-enced another 5 inches or so!

Enough already!!!I am very sorry to report the

passing of Past Commodore

Dave Audiano, who wasPCYC Commodore in 1987.

He had the extreme bad for-

tune of following my brother

Chuck through the chairs (justkidding). Those were good

days for Port Clinton YachtClub, aside from the occa-sional high water problems.

Also, please say a prayer for

Past Commodore BernieGates, who was hospitalized at

this writing. My father was

Rear Commodore the year

Bernie was Commodore in1969. Bernie also recently lost

his daughter Sharon unexpect-

edly. Those of us who are stillenjoying this gift called life

have much to be thankful for.

A JWD (Job Well Done)goes out to Fleet Captain of

Sail, Ramon Eickert and his

hordes of volunteers whohelped out for the North Coast

Junior Regatta on July 19. We

had over 100 boats in the com-

petition and over 150 young

men and ladies who partici-pated in the one-day event.

Yes, the traffic causes a bit of

problem, but the competitors,

and their parents along with

their coaches had pretty muchcleared out by the time the

Friday Night Snacks crowdshowed up.

Be sure to mark the weekend

of August 3 and 4 down onyour calendars for some great

PCYC fun and frivolity. First

the Beach Party will be held

out on the North Shore beachon Saturday night. Then, the

North Coast Concert Band,including a number of PCYCmembers, will entertain on

Sunday evening for a

Concert on the Deck begin-ning at 4 p.m. Food and re-

freshments will also be avail-

able. Bring a lawn chair and

enjoy an evening of music forall ages.

The first weekend of August

is just the beginning of a hugemonth of activities at PCYC.

If you havent as yet checked

out the Saturday morningBloody Mary Socials on the

Deck, you are missing a lot of

fun and fellowship with mem-bers, their guests and visiting

yachtsmen. Then there is the

Old Fashioned Beef roast on

August 24, the same day as

The Rear PerspectiveHard to believe summer

is over half gone! The

Club grounds are very

busy this time of year

with many kids out and

about. Take extra caution

while driving through the

Club and watch out for

the kids.

A reminder to boaters; If

you do not currently have

a dock but want to visit

the Club by boat, call

ahead first or see Eric

upon arriving and if you

are leaving for more than

two days, please informEric so he knows your

dock space is available.

We continue to have is-

sues with the condition of

the kids room the morn-

ing after a busy night of

club activity. As you may

have read, it has been

decided to restrict pop-

corn from the room.

Also, on those busy

nights, the bar TV moni-tor will be broadcasting a

live feed of the room. It

is unfortunate it has come

to this, but the destruc-

tion of club property and

unsafe behavior has

driven the decision to

take these measures. If

inappropriate behavior is

witnessed and verified, a

letter will be sent to the

appropriate member.

On a tour of the marina

last week, I observed

some untidy areas in

front of boats that need

some attention. Please

take some time to keep

your area free from clut-

ter. If you have any ques-

tions on what is permit-

ted, please contact me todiscuss.

Fleet Captain of Power

P A G E 3V O L U M E 1 0 7 , I S S U E 8

The power fleet had a very busy

July. The dingy poker run was a

great success and a lot of

fun. There were over seventy peo-

ple that participated in the

event. This past weekend we had a

cruise-out to Middle Bass. There

were 23 boats that went for the

weekend. We had a fun cook-

out on Fridayalong with a break-

fast on Saturdaymorning. There

was also a dockside sing

along Saturdayafternoon,

which was a blast.

There is one cruise-out sched-

uled for August. We will be

traveling to Grosse Point Yacht

Club the weekend ofAugust

9th. There are many boats

signed up and also some on the

waiting list. Please let me know

if you are not going to be able

to attend, so that we can allow

another boat to partici-

pate. This should be a great

weekend going up the Detroit

River.

Thank you,

RJ Basil

There are many people to thank

and everyone is vital to putting

on this large regatta so I will not

name them all in case I would

forget someone. Thanks to

those that volunteered for Scor-

ing, Committee Boats, Mark

boats, Registration, Food, T-

shirt sales, Parking, Hoist,

Cleanup. Thanks to all theNorth Shore folks and those next

to and across from the hoists for

helping with parking and reloca-

tion of cars and boats. As you

can see a lot of people in our

club are involved and that is

why our regattas are such a huge

success!

I heard comments from other

ILYA clubs how great our venue

is. The grounds are great and the

members very friendly.

I am very proud that we put on one

of the best Jr. Regattas in Lake

Erie.

Special thanks to CommodoreJohn Schaffner and RC Don Rod-

wancy for presenting the awards to

the Jr. Sailors. It makes a great

impression on the kids.

Also thank you for Manager PC

Chuck Reichman for helping to

scrub the slime off the launch

ramp. We had the majority of

boats being launched of the beach

and he made it less slick.

Caretaker Eric Reynolds and mem-

ber Sean Kelly for taking time andusing his equipment in hoisting

Thistles and Coach boats in the

lagoon.

The PCYC race team is off to Jr.

Bay Week. Results and pictures to

follow in the next Jib Sheet.
