Many times we simply get complacent at dockside and don't use
our common sense. Following are a few tips that you should adhere to that will make dockside boating safer and more pleasant
for you and your dockside neighbors.
ALWAYS neatly coil or flemish excess line both on the dock and
onboard. This not only looks more professional but can prevent
someone from tripping over a loose line and falling. Guess who
would be at fault if it were your line they tripped over?
ALWAYS turn off all AC breakers on board, then turn off the
breaker on the dock and disconnect the power cord from the
dock first. You will see many people undo the power cord from
the boat and then hand it to, or worse yet, carry it off the boat to
the dock. One slip and they are in the drink with a live wire.
ALWAYS make sure you turn off all outside lights, instruments,
and VHF radio. There is nothing more unneighborly than a light
shining on the boat in the next slip or the VHF blasting loudly
while you are out for a late night at the local pub.
NEVER connect a dock water supply to the pressure side of the
water system on your boat. Not even with a pressure-reducing
valve. This is an invitation to sink your boat. All you need is for
one of those hose clamps to quit, or a flexible section to rupture
and there is an unlimited supply of water to fill your boat. Far
better to fill your water tank periodically using a hose and using
the onboard water pressure pump to supply your requirements.
Now if there is an accident, no more water can come on the boat
than was already there and you can't sink. Keeping your pressure
pump working on a regular basis is also better for it. Nothing kills
pumps quicker than being idle for long periods.
And while on the subject, NEVER have a water tank that overflows anywhere onboard. Plumb the overflow overboard or to a
drain which always runs overboard because, sooner or later, you
will go ashore and forget you left the hose filling the tank!

EYE on the SKY
by Chris Evans
His observations are akin to a webcam and his prognostications are as sophisticated
as a handful of meteorologists. Meet Emory Pence – Green Turtle Bay’s de facto Eye
on the Sky.
A staple slip holder on Pier 6, Pence rises before dawn each day to have coffee on
the back of his 70-foot Monticello houseboat. Armed with a laptop and keen sense of
observation, Pence has become a morning staple for boat owners wintering far from
Barkley Lake. His email list is about 80 addresses strong right now and additions are
commonplace. His morning dispatches have been keeping boaters in touch with the
lakes area for the last couple of years, and extreme weather conditions have made
them even more popular in recent months. From floods to fires and tornadoes, Pence
keeps everyone on top of what’s happening at the lake.
Think of Pence as a remote sensing service, delivering a snapshot of current weather and lake conditions right to
your personal computer, smart phone or electronic tablet. He collects data from various sources, combines them
into a concise, informative weather synopsis and fires them via email to anyone requesting the daily reports. In
each delivery, you will find daily conditions, complete with his personal insights, a forecast from the local television
station out of Paducah and TVA’s lake conditions and forecasts. The water temperature is pulled from one foot
below the surface of Barkley at the end of Pier 6 so boaters near and far have a true indication of what’s really
happening inside their favorite bay and mooring site. Occasionally, the reader gets a dose of Pence’s sage advice,
personal philosophy or a favorite adage mixed in with a daily ensemble of water and air temps.
Backing him up at the keyboard is wife Suzy. She is the Pier 6 official blogger, posting regular updates about happenings at GTB and on the pier. Suzy retired only recently, allowing her to make the regular treks from Indianapolis
with Emory. He is a retired fireman and construction worker, and a veteran of the U.S. Air Force during the Vietnam
War. Pence is also immediate past commodore of the Commonwealth Yacht Club. Suzy was a private ultrasound
nurse. “Four or five people on the pier wanted to know what the weather was like and they’d call Emory. So either
from Pier 6 or at home in Indy, he started sending them emails,” Suzy said.
Emory, who retired in 2000, has been a regular at GTB for years. They started boating with a mid-sized Sea Ray in
1992 and kept stepping up to a bigger vessel, like many boat enthusiasts. They’ve tied up on several piers at GTB,
and have been on Six for six years.
“If a storm goes through, people in St. Louis or other places want to know what’s happened here, where their boats
are,” said Pence, who grew up and worked his entire career in Indianapolis. “So, when I see that the weather is
looking iffy, I’ll tell Suzy that we need to head to the boat.”
He checks almost everything on the pier and helps keep other things in check throughout the marina, including
unwelcome animals and pests.
“We set live traps around the marina for pesky intruders. Mostly raccoons.” Pence said, “and those were in one
year and all on Pier 6.”
Suzy says her cohort knew more about ‘coons and other creatures than a PC when he started keeping others
informed through email.
“The only thing he knew about a computer was what one looked like,” she said with a chuckle.
Now, he’s quite astute. After enjoying morning coffee from a new 160-square-foot sun room – designed and fabricated by his own hands – on the back of his boat, Station 10, Pence pecks out a morning report and dispatches it
immediately to inquiring minds who want to know exactly what’s happening at Green Turtle Bay.

To promote and encourage fellowship, friendship, and camaraderie among our
members and guests, by creating, organizing and providing boating activities
for our club members and the surrounding water communities.
Welcome New Members!
The following members have joined Commonwealth Yacht Club recently.
Dale Harmon
Rich & Eileen Kee
Help us in welcoming our newest CYC members.
What’s Coming Up . . .
February was full of surprises. The weather couldn't make up its mind as to
whether it was going to be winter or spring, but because of that there were
actually some pretty nice cruising days scattered throughout the month. When
your CYC restaurant reopened there were more eye-catching changes. The
makeover was quite noticeable as we kicked off with the Valentine's Day
party. Even with the returning cold weather that day there was a good turnout
for the dinner and dance. Once again Heart and Soul did a wonderful job of
keeping us dancing through the night. The remainder of the month just left me
longing for the spring weather to get here.
March means it’s time to get the boat ready for another season of rest and
relaxation out on the water and with your CYC friends and family. If you’re
looking for a party to kick off the spring, look no further than your CYC.
Bring your favorite Leprechaun or shamrock and get on over to the St. Patrick’s party March 16th. Your new CYC Board will be looking forward to
seeing everyone there. Then don't forget the Easter Brunch at the end of the
month. Come to the lake and finish those final re-commissioning tasks and
have a great meal after the weekend’s work. Then you'll be ready for all of the
great events in April.
Speaking of April, start gathering your items now, because we will be having the third annual Pirates Sale. We will once again be holding this event on
the Saturday of the Spring Boat Show. You can join in the local boating swap
meet by Dockers. Last year we had people waiting for the sale to start so they
could get the first look at the bargains. We have also invited KLSC to join us
for this event as they had members interested in having tables. Have you been
storing parts from your previous boat that you have no use for? What great
treasures do you have aboard that need to be gotten rid of? Who knows, you
may just find that one of your neighbors has the perfect treasure you have
been missing for your boat. Join in the fun. Then on the 20th of April come to
be a part of the Blessing of the Fleet. Polish up your boat and bring her out to
get her blessed at the beginning of the season. This event was a huge success
last year with both in-slip as well as cruising blessings taking part in large
numbers. We can only hope that the weather is as cooperative this year. Let
us know your boat name, pier and slip number early this year if you are planning on an in-slip blessing so you don’t get left out. Then enjoy the CYC 20th
Anniversary Celebration later that day.
Ongoing CYC Activities
Things may have been slow around the marina but there have been
lots of behind the scenes activities going on this winter with your CYC
board. First, we have already started the planning phases of this year’s
Commonwealth Cup Regatta and Kentucky Lake Race Week. If any of
our local CYC members would like to consider helping to sponsor this
year’s Regatta, please contact your Commodore, Vice Commodore or
Past Commodore (at the email addresses listed on the previous page) for
different options available to sponsor this highly successful event. The
deadline for securing an advertisement in the registration book, which is
going out to area information centers as well as hundreds of sailors, is set
for the end of March with a copy of your ad due by April 14th. This is a
great way to get your business’s name out to the boating community to let
them know you support your CYC and the Regatta. We are also looking
for sponsors for the highly sought after door prizes. Does your business
have an item that would be family or boating friendly that you would like
to donate for our door prize drawings? It will be hard to beat the previous year’s door prize list but you never know. (We are hoping to have the
door prize tickets printed to enter the drawing for the door prizes by late
spring.) Yet there are still other ways you can help support or sponsor the
Commonwealth Cup Regatta, so give us a call and let us know how you
would like to help this year.
Also keep your eyes open for changes in the sunfish sailing fleet. This
year your CYC is planning several members’ events around the sunfish
fleet. Once again Chris Riley, your Sunfish Fleet Captain, has been working on getting the fleet up and running for the club and is looking at some
afternoon events to get our members out sailing this fun fleet in the nearby waters. We will be releasing more information as the plans solidify.
Finally, we have been putting the finishing touches on the season CYC
calendar. The CYC restaurant has many great plans for the year and
your CYC board has planned some great events as well. If you have any
questions about the cruising events, contact Stu Schwalm, your CYC fleet
captain, cruising at [email protected]. He has some fantastic activities
planned for the season. The CYC sailing series is getting ready to kick
off another fun-filled spring also. As we were finalizing dates at the last
board meeting, it was exciting to see all of the opportunities our members
will have to get out on the water this upcoming season. We will be updating the information in the dock pockets regularly throughout the season
as well as updating the website. Also look here monthly for the run down
on the upcoming month’s events and any changes in the schedule. If you
aren’t getting the blasts from GTB let Vida know and she can make sure
you get added to the email list as well. Until next month stay warm and
dry and remember any day on your boat is a good day.
Kim Hall, Commodore

Growing up on the Docks of the Bay
We came by boat to GTB when I was 8 years old. We had spent 4
days aboard the boat and I was looking forward to getting back on
land. I remember arriving at our slip and there were a bunch of
people waiting to help us. That’s when I first realized GTB is like a
big family. If you need help fixing something or just need someone
to talk to there is always someone willing to help. When I was little I
had a motorized scooter I would ride around and people were always
really nice and asking me how I was. Now those people have seen
me grow up and have taught me a lot about life. Every now and then
when I am working around the marina someone will ask me about
that scooter. I love that I had the chance to grow up at GTB.

GTB Marina
For fuel, ice, cold drinks, snacks
or a free book to read, the Marina office and “Boater’s Rest”
area is the place to be. Office
services include internet access, copier, fax, and free local phone calls or long distance
calling with credit card. Our
area is served by AT&T and
currently we are in a 3G cellular area. Our staff will be happy
to make your restaurant or theater reservations, help you find
a rental car, or for a reasonable
fee even take you to an airport
in Paducah, KY, Nashville, TN
or Evansville, IN.
The Marina at Green Turtle Bay
is conveniently located in Grand
Rivers where you will find First
Kentucky Bank & Trust, Jeff &
Emily’s IGA Hometown Grocery Market, The Badgett Playhouse that performs weekend
stage productions most of the
year, Patti’s 1880’s Settlement
and several unique shops that
offers everything from beach
apparel to home furnishings.
Whether you’re looking for a
place to stay a couple of nights
or for a place to call “home”,
Green Turtle Bay Marina is
hands down the place in
Western Kentucky.

Storage
Boat Work
Services
Center stage in the Boat Works
facility stands a 7,000 square
foot heated paint and restoration
barn. Two acres of boat storage
for out-of-water services are
possible with either our 25 ton or
60 ton lifts for vessels approaching 80’. Green Turtle Bay Boat
Works can handle most any job,
from prop replacement to complete restorations. Fork trucks
are available for mast stepping
and rigging or equipment moving. From simple plumbing to
sophisticated electronics, complete refitting and re-rigging,
Boat Works can accomplish the
task.
Our quality work, attention to
detail and personal service keeps
our customers coming back.
Continual professional training,
the addition of new innovative
equipment and the employment
of the latest techniques, together
with our “can do” attitude, keeps
Boat Works the number one service and repair facility in
mid-America.
Just think...no trailering the
boat from the driveway to the
ramp each and every time you
feel like boating. With 150
covered bays in two buildings
for boats up to 30 feet, your
boat is in the water and ready
when you are. Never again
will you have to tow your
runabout, personal watercraft,
fishing rig or small cruiser
back and forth from home just
to enjoy a day on the water.
No more waiting in line at the
ramp, no more trying to find
a parking space and no more
having to scrub the boat bottom before getting on the hot
highway home. You get to do
what you wanted to do when
you bought a boat...enjoy the
lake, your family and friends.
Not only is Dry Stack a convenient option for today’s
boater but it is an economical
choice as well.
The average pick-up truck
used to trailer a boat to a
launch site gets an estimated
15 m.p.g. without tow & 10 12 m.p.g. while pulling a 27
foot watercraft. The average
cost to trailer a boat from 20
miles is approximately $57 in
fuel cost plus the additional
wear on your vehicle. Much
more costly than rental at Dry
Stack Storage.

The Coolest Way to Avoid the Airlines
New Pilot Profile: Roy Hodges
By Dan Pimentel,
Airplanista Blog Editor
"I decided to get my license after a bad experience with the airlines,"
Hodges, says. "My wife and I own a house in the Bahamas that we
don't get to frequent as much as we wish. One time, we had only 48
hours to travel to and spend at our home. We were flying commercial and spent 12 hours at the airport in Miami on a delay. I decided
that if I could fly myself, we would have more control over our own
schedule and flexibility. With my new pilot's license, we are able to
enjoy more leisure time for ourselves and not be at the mercy of the
commercial airline schedule."
While there are always plenty of new things to learn about flying an
airplane, it is quite well known that there is a fair amount of crossover between operating an airplane and being in command of a large
ocean-going vessel. Pilots-in-Command of airplanes and Captains of yachts measure distance in "nautical
miles", and navigate by heading, course and track. They both make corrections for crosswinds to stay our
course, both use advance electronics in their panel, and when those electronics go offline, both must rely on
complicated charts to navigate through complex airspace or waterways.
It is possibly because of Hodges' career as a Yacht Captain that his flight training at Sarasota's Cirrus Aviation was completed in just 60 hours spread over three months at a cost of around $10,000. When you have
the ability to safely guide large, ridiculously expensive vessels around the often angry seas, picking up the
additional skills to navigate the same way through the air is not so much of a stretch:
"I grew up on Kentucky Lake and Lake Barkley working at Green Turtle Bay Marina and Houseboat Rentals from the age of 13," Hodges explains, "and had acquired enough sea time to get my Captain’s License
at 19 years old. For the past 16 years, I've been spending most of his time in the Bahamas and the Eastern
Caribbean where I currently Captain a 150-foot, privately-owned luxury motor yacht with a crew of nine.
I hold a United States Coast Guard 1,600-Ton Oceans License/3,000-Ton ITC and 500-Ton Master from
the Marshall Islands."
Even though Hodges can probably thread a $15MIL MegaYacht between two coral reefs while blindfolded,
he had to overcome some of the same challenges that every private pilot student sees. "I did home study for
the written test," he says, "that gave me more flexibility with my study time and saved some money. But
I struggled with landings, and had to get past a period during training where landings seemed to get more
difficult instead of easier. So I went out and did 25 touch and goes in one day and finally it just clicked. I
also learned on my check ride that the Examiner won't fail you for looking at the checklist too often!"
With a new pilot's license in hand, Hodges says being a licensed pilot feels awesome:
"Knowing that I can go out and jump in the plane and go--it's very liberating! The best feeling was after
the first solo...it feels like getting your drivers license when you're 16! There are many benefits to flying a
private plane, including taking several friends and family members up with me. Once they experience it,
they are hooked! It also makes traveling with our dog much easier than with the airlines. And I am now
looking at airplanes to buy, there are a few good deals on planes out there, but I'm just waiting on the right
situation to make a purchase," Hodges said.
As I think about the many paths Hodges can choose to earn advanced ratings and additional licenses, one
particular use of an "add-on" license comes to mind. If he were to earn his helicopter license, he might
make himself into the most "in demand" and desirable Yacht Captain anywhere.
