Happy Birthday to You, Happy Birthday . . . WAKING YOUR BOAT FROM A LONG WINTER'S NAP Tips on getting your watercraft ready for the boating season Waking your boat from a long hibernation is a chore we all eagerly await. There's no better feeling come spring than hearing the engine purr smoothly for the first time, ready to breathe life into another full season on the water. Getting into the habit of de-winterizing your boat, engine and trailer before hitting the lake ensures that everything will be in tip-top shape, leading to a stress-free maiden voyage and far less headaches when riding the wet stuff. Start with a walk around your boat, do a visual check for any gouges or cracks in the hull. Also look for missing or loose rivets. If any damage is found, outside help may be required to fix it. Check the bilge area for any dirt or debris that may have collected over the winter. While there, install the drain plug. I'll repeat once again, install the drain plug. Check battery fluid levels and top off if necessary using distilled water. Also check terminals for corrosion, and clean and lubricate with grease. Although your battery should have been regularly charged over the winter, ensure that it is at full strength before placing it back in the boat. Connect all electronics (fish finders, GPS, bilge, live wells, radio, VHF, lights, etc.) and ensure that they are all working properly. If applicable, make sure the horn is sounding loud and clear. Getting your boat ready for the boating season can sometimes be a daunting task. It is very important to make sure that you investment and the smallest of human error can cause big problems when out on the water-ways. Even though most tasks can be preformed by the boat owner it is always recommended to have your vessel checked by a professional to insure a safe and trouble free boating season. 2 April NautiNews 2013 Dry Stack: Amy Hite (04/20) Jetty Two: Jaretta Bull (04/25) Pier Four: Caryn Poe (04/16), Brett Tesson (04/22) Pier Five: Steve Tilley (04/13), Gary Morrison (04/19), Larry Bennett (04/22), Phil Pease (04/25), Russell Edwards (04/25) Pier Six: Jerry Terry (04/10), Ken Sparks (04/12), Fred Moore (04/20), Karen Cupp (04/21), Clay Woods (04/30) Pier Eight: John Budslick (04/02), Pier Nine A:Angela Young (04/13), Mark Sunderman (04/19) Pier Nine B: Robert Petter (04/29), Sandy Lilly (04/16) , Patrick Yates (04/12) Pier Nine C: Karen Ansell (04/12), Pam Reeves (04/11) Pier Ten: Phil (Hooter) Gibson (04/03), Jennifer Olsen (04/16), Terri Wilson (04/23), Diane Bingham (04/26) Pier Eleven: Tim Raibley (04/04), Connie Pace Jr. (04/10) Sarah Ketter (04/24), Vicki Agee (04/24), Lana Wilson (04/28) Pier Twelve: David Wilson (04/06), Naomi Tipton (04/30) Let Me Call You Sweet Heart, I 'm in Love with You...

GTB CLASSES BEGIN APRIL 6, 2013 TrueCourse Captain’s School is a USCG approved school that specializes their instruction on the Inland River Systems and Great Lakes. Our instructors are specially trained to give you every advantage to understand the material that is included on the USCG test (we give the test!). We go the extra mile that most schools neglect, by providing all the other required steps to ensure that you will complete every regulation to obtain your license. No other school “holds your hand” throughout the process of license application” like TrueCourse Captain’s School. Yet, our courses are designed for the pleasure boater too. So, even if you’re not planning a full or part time career as a licensed captain, you find the material will make you a better skipper. OUVP : Known as the 6-Pack. This license is required for carrying up to 6 passengers for hire. It can be used for entry level Delivery Captains or mates, or Captains of private boats for short cruises. This is a frequent license used for fishing guides. This is also a great license for the private owner that wishes to become a better Skipper of his own vessel. The course teaches you to be a competent boat pilot. The class is 56 hours long and is scheduled, in most locations, not to interfere with your work schedule. Master Upgrade: This is for larger USCG inspected boats that carry more than 6 passengers, such as ferry boats, dinner cruise boats, water taxies and commercial boats. Most boat delivery Captains hold a Master License, as the boat owner’s insurance may require a Master Captain to pilot the boat for delivery. This course teaches you the regulations and USCG requirements to “manage” the boat, not necessarily to pilot the vessel. This is a three-day class. Most students find it best to take this class directly following the OUPV for easy USCG combined application of license. Tow Endorsement: This addition to either license permits the Captain to engage in the work of towing or salvage; a must if you plan to work for a licensed towing service, or for practical knowledge to assist a fellow boater. The class is 4 hours. License Renewal: Your license is good for 5 years, with a 6-month grace period. By taking this one-day class, you eliminate the need for 360 days of vessel time to qualify for renewal. Green Turtle Bay Resort will host the True Course Captain’s School beginning April 6th. If you are interested in obtaining your license, please contact Captain Ron Getter at True Course. GTB will have special Captain’s rates available for condo rentals, contact the resort for more info.

Green Turtle Bay Event Services: 800-498-0428 2013 NautiNews April 9 Commonwealth Yacht Club N ew sl e t t e r 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 to New Members The following members have joined the club since our last newsletter, Michael & Lisa Delaney Carl & Debbie Crocket Please Join the CYC Officers and Board Members in Welcoming These New Members to the Club. What's Coming Up March brought with her the taste of spring. We had 70 degree days followed by 40 degree days. The Saint Patrick's Party was packed with many members taking advantage of the warm weekend to get some projects done on Friday and Saturday before the festivities began. Luckily the weather held out for most of the weekend. The crowd was anxious to celebrate the beginning of a new boating season. The month ended with Easter and the annual Easter brunch. It was the perfect ending to the winter and kept us looking forward to the busy April schedule ahead. Speaking of April, sailing season has begun. The kickoff for the CYC Spring Sailing Series starts April 13th. If you haven't participated in the Sailing Series in the past check out the Sailing Series group on the web site for all the details on this year's events. Also start gathering your items now for the third annual Pirates Sale. We will once again be holding this event on the Saturday morning of the Spring Boat Show. You can join in the local boating swap meet by Dockers. 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? Call or e-mail Emory Pence at [email protected] to reserve your table. Don’t have anything to sell, come for the bargains. 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. 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, stick around and enjoy the CYC 20th Anniversary Celebration later that day. It will be a great start to the 21st year of CYC events. Dr. Kim Hall 10 April NautiNews 2013 Asian Carp… both a problem and a solution. By Bill Gary IV The issue of Asian Carp invading our waterways is something most of us on the lakes are aware of, at least to some extent. The fish are voracious eaters of the basic aquatic food source: algae and zooplankton. Their size and rapid reproducing can deplete a pond, lake or entire waterway of this basic food source, which in turn, starves out the sport fish and other desirable species. When agitated by boat motor and/or skier sounds, these fish are prone to leap out of the water. Fish weights of 30 pounds are not uncommon, and a fish that size leaping into your lap at 40 mph or more could be a great deal more than just an inconvenience! To promote awareness of the fish and it’s decimating effects, local photographer and filmmaker Glenn Hall (www.glennhallphotography.com) is producing a documentary entitled “Dark Water”. Hall notes that the carp range well of 7,000 miles through 13 states and are costing federal, state and local governments – which is actually all of us through our tax dollars – upwards of $120 Billion (yes, with a “B”!). The Lacy Act of 1990 and the Aquatic Invasive Species Act of 1996 represent only two of the larger government efforts to counteract the carp issue. In an effort to protect our waters, Kentucky’s Fish & Wildlife took a proactive approach on March 12-13 by hosting the first ever “Carp Madness” fishing tournament. Open only to licensed commercial fishermen, KY F&W offered prize money totaling $20,000 to be shared by the top haulers. Brainstorming and overseeing this event was F&W Fisheries Director, Ron Brooks. On Wednesday, Barry Mann of Gilbertsville took the top prize of $10,000 for having brought in 28,669 pounds of fish in two days. The total haul among all the fishermen was 82,953 pounds, far short of the 200,000 goal, but, according to Brooks, still a “success”. Chef Philippe Parola Although most of these fish went to a processing plant in Mississippi where they will be harvested for fish oils and used in pet foods, a few found their way into the Kentucky Dam Village restaurant’s kitchen to be prepared by Chef Philippe Parola. Chef Philippe has prepared and served this fish as a delicacy in Louisiana and shared his recipes and expertise with the KDV staff. The public was invited to come sample, and my firsthand tasting verifies that the fish is delicious! Because they eat zooplankton and not other fish, the Asian Carp – often called “Silverfin” when served on a platter – have zero mercury and are higher in Omega-3’s than salmon! The meat is light and flaky and will take on the taste of the spices or stock used to flavor it. The fish’s downside is the bones, which make it difficult to clean. But, with diligence and some training, the bones can be overcome. Who knows, the curse of Asian Carp as an invasive species may, in the end, be the blessing of the Slilverfin as a fine dining delicacy. “Oui, oui, et bon appetite!” 2 0 1 3 N a u t i N e w s A p r i l 11 Ongoing CYC Activities As promised, this summer is full of events to get boaters of all varieties out on the water. Stu Schwalm your Fleet Captain for Cruising events has been hard at work this winter planning some of these activities. His first fun filled cruise is coming up the first of June and since I know how we start planning our weekends early I thought it would be a good idea to give you a heads up as to what he has scheduled. Check out the calendar of events to the right for other great adventures coming up this season and don’t hesitate to contact Stu if you have any questions. “Please take a ‘sailor’ to lunch.” Saturday, June 1, 2013 Okay, power boaters; it’s time to get to know the “other” half of the CYC gang. You never know when you’ll run out of fuel and need those sailors and their wind machines to come to the rescue and save the day. Here’s your chance to invite an old or new found sailor friend to lunch. Invite them onboard for a short run to a nearby eatery/watering hole for a mid-day lunch and day of fun with friends. If you’re brave, you might even let them steer! We’ll rendezvous just off the GTB Resort jetty and travel as a group to HU-B’s at Kuttawa Harbor Dream now, plan now and mark your calendars to be with us on this date: June 1st, 2013. All-in-all, it’ll be a fun day to be on the water and enjoying, the "Water-Way-of-Life”. Mark your calendar and plan to join us on this cruise. Request Firm Reservations by May 24th, 2013 Contact me for information of this and future CYC cruising events.
