COMMODORE EvAn GUIDO
May is here and full of important
events in history. On Memorial Day we
reflect upon all those that have fallen
in US wars to allow us to freely be
members of a yacht club. Mother’s day
is in May, which I have had an up close
realization, is the hardest job in the
world, and clearly deserves a day considering. There is a US day called
“Lumpy Rug Day” celebrated on May
3rd. Kentucky Derby is this month,
which is a good time gambling on
horses you have never heard of and
drinking mint juleps. Cinco de Mayo is
on May 5th it took me 3 years of college level Spanish to realize the name
was a date! Cinco de Mayo is the anniversary of the Mexican victory
against the French. Who knew? I just
thought it was a Spanish beer special
at college bars. William Seward, Governor of New York, was born in May
and inked the purchase of Alaska in
1867 from Russia for 7.2 million dollars or 2 cents an acre. Now, that was
foresight since we have learned they
have a bit of “oil and gold in those
hills”. First American settlement was
established in Jamestown, Virginia,
May 1607- thanks guys. Lewis and
Clark began their adventures up the
Missouri River in May 1804. They covered a lot of ground without much
more than a backpack a canoe and VISION. Clara Barton founded what has
become the American Red Cross in
May, 1881 with a simple idea and
strong support from a group of passionate ladies.
Speaking of passionate ladies, The
Great Mates, a special group of ladies
from our Club, are undertaking the establishment of a not for profit which
can be a daunting task. The BYC board
has been given assurances by the Clubs
financial auditor that this process will
not affect our own tax- status in anyway. I personally support their ambitions 100% and believe this group of
ladies would like to hear and see your
support at their May 16th Great Mates
luncheon. Some of the names mentioned from history most likely had a
2013
push of support as they went on their
journey as well.
BYC has many wonderful events in
May that we can make our own history
with two particularly special dates. The
first is the 30th Annual Crosthwait
Memorial Tournament. The Crosthwait tournament has continued to
evolve over the years. The sportsmanship shown by anglers and changes in
federal fishing regulation has led to a
more environmentally conscious fisherman, which we can all appreciate.
What has remained constant over time
is the competitiveness of the anglers
and the fun activities available for their
families and friends during the event.
This year’s weigh-in on May 19th is
sure to be as spectacular as in the past.
I hope to see you there!
The second is the Clubs Annual
Meeting, which will be held May 28th.
If you are unable to attend please assign your proxy to another member
who is up to speed on the matters
being discussed. Your attendance or
proxy is important to ensure we have a
quorum and meaningful member involvement. And of course “Lumpy Rug

Hopefully you have taken advantage
of our Spring Membership Drive
opportunity. If you have not already
done so, I would hope you would
suggest the Club to at least one of
your friends. Our drive will last until
the May Board Meeting, so this is your
last opportunity to sponsor a friend
and save them $500.00 off our Initiation Fee, and earn yourself a $500.00
credit. And remember, if we total 10
new full, regular members during this
drive, one lucky new member sponsor
will win free dues for the 2013-2014
fiscal year!
Also, exciting news from the BYC
Membership Department is the announcement of the “Legacy Membership” Category. Now all current BYC
Members can have their children, and
grandchildren join the Club for half off
of their age specific Initiation Fees.
This is a great opportunity that will be
ongoing to bring your kids into the
Club family, and get them supporting
the club on their own! The Legacy
Membership discount cannot be used
in conjunction with any other specials,
at any time.
As we do every year about this time,
we are changing up our wine list some.
We are adding and subtracting wines,
in an effort to keep the list fluid and
attractive. We always have our eye
out for diamonds in the rough that can
really sell well, and sell for a reasonable price.
As the BYC Sail Racers have
switched their racing from Sunday
afternoon to Thursday nights, we will
help them and all of our members get a
jump start on the weekend. The fuel
dock will be open until 7:00 p.m.
Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday, as it is light longer. Our Dock-
master, Brent, or one of our dock
hands will be here to help work with
the sailors, so we plan to keep the fuel
dock open too! You can beat the weekend rush, fuel up and get a bite to eat
on Thursday nights. We know the
price of fuel continues to go up, but
rest assured, we try to stay $0.50 to
$0.80 per gallon better than fuel distributors on the river, and local clubs
aren’t even close to us in fuel prices.
In addition to our special entertainment events, May 11th is Yacht Club
night @ the Trop! Calling all Rays fans
to go and see the Rays play!
May also brings us the Crosthwait
Memorial Fishing Tournament, the
17-19! Sorry, no Thursday night sailing on the 16th, due to Crosthwait set
up. May 25, is an Eclectic Wine Dinner, and May 27th is our Memorial
Day Celebration and BBQ Poolside!
Our Annual Membership Meeting and
Prime Rib Buffet is Tuesday, May
28th. Please follow the instructions
carefully that come with your annual
meeting information, as relates to
proxy voting and deadlines.
As we transition from spring to
summer, this is a great time to refamiliarize yourself with the BYC
Guest and Pool rules. They are in the
back of the roster and on our website.
The pool is for BYC Members and your
guests, FCYC members and for visiting
yachtsmen from the Yachting Club of
America only. We ask that all of our
members speak to their children, who
are old enough to use the pool on their
own, about their responsibilities, and
possible repercussions, if they misuse
their privileges. All BYC Members
using the pool must have a membership card. We offer dependant cards
in the office, for your children. As you
might guess, our biggest concern is the
safety and well being of all people
using the pool. There are diving board
rules that must be adhered to. This is
a must; there will be very little tolerance for misuse of this amenity. We
are one of the few clubs that has a diving board, and we do not want to see
anyone get hurt.
BYC Members’ children must have
Dependent Cards, and they must have
them on their person. We cannot keep
up with the change in looks of all of the
children as they grow, so we will be
asking to see membership cards.
While we do not want to, in an effort to
minimize liability, we will be forced to
send those kids without cards home.
We have Guest Cards in the office.
These cards are available for a guest of
yours who you would like to use the
Club in your absence. They are good
for up to one week, and can be had for
the same person two times per year.
Your signature on the card guarantees
their fun time here will be paid when
you are billed, and that you will be responsible for their behavior. Use these
cards wisely. •
See you all around the Clubhouse!
BYC General
Membership Meeting
Tuesday, May 28, 2013
Registration 6:00 p.m.
Meeting starts @ 7:00 p.m.
Early Bird Prime Rib Dinner:
5:00 to 6:30 p.m. • $16.99 + +
The Kitchen will close at 6:30 p.m., and we will
resume operations after the meeting! There
will be plenty of Prime Rib, so if you can’t get
here for the Early Bird, you can partake after
the meeting! We will only be serving the Prime
Rib Buffet tonight.
In order to maintain basic standards of courtesy, our Club has some
regulations so we can all enjoy our time there without offending others.
Our staff should not be asked to police these policies of good etiquette.
Please be responsible for your own and your guests’ dress and behavior.
• BYC has a dress code? It’s online under
Member Central, Club Policies, and in the Members Directory. Blue jeans, shorts, tank tops and
similar very casual apparel are not allowed in the
main dining room. Ask to be seated in the
Burgee Room or go to the lounge or Tiki if you
are dressed casually. Check with staff for special
events location and dress code if you are unsure. Some themed events may allow more
casual dress in the main dining room.
• Smoking is not allowed in the clubhouse? As a
courtesy to others please avoid the doors and
other members dining, especially with children, if
you light up outside or in the Tiki. Other tobacco
products should remain outside the clubhouse
as fellow members won’t appreciate you dipping
or spitting.
• Gentlemen are asked to remove their hats
upon entering the clubhouse? There’s a
reminder near the front door.
• You should make reservations… even at the
last minute? Head to the Tiki or lounge if you
drop in and the staff can’t easily accommodate
you.
• Some yacht clubs have banned cell phone
use in their clubs? Let’s avoid that by being
considerate and using good judgment; step
outside if you must take a call.
• Dogs are allowed on the grounds and in the
Tiki? They should be well behaved and you
should pick up after them. Doggy sanitary
stations are located throughout the grounds.
• It’s a good idea to check in the mirror before
you lounge outside in brief clothing? This is a
family friendly Club. Ladies know this but,
Guys, brief shorts with boxers, really?
• Young swimmers should wear appropriate
swimming diapers in the pool? Enough said.
• The Manager is the go-to guy for Club or
staff disappointments? He will look into the
situation and get back to you, and you won’t
build animosity or be chagrined when you
learn “the rest of the story”. •

Club Night @ the

Sport Fishing
ROB YARISh
I’m not taking any bets…but I think
winter is over and spring is here! The
inshore waters are warming up and so
is the fishing! Great reports of trout,
redfish, and snook are being reported.
Fish are being caught in the normal
places along the bushes, drops,
ledges, edges, oyster beds and flats
depending on the tide. My recommendation is to find the young kids
and follow them. They know where
the fish are!
Timing offshore trips remains a
game of opportunity as the spring
winds blow up the seas. Gag grouper
is still closed in State and Federal waters. Red grouper opened April 1 and
should be hungry and chewing. Mangrove snapper are an easy prey beginning in 60 foot of water with the
larger fish holding at 80 – 100 foot
depths. Most trips can limit out by
lunch. Cobia and small Kings are
starting to show on and around bait
pods along the beach and on deep
water wrecks. They are a sure sign of
spring!

Sailing Fleet
CAPTAIn JOhn IzMIRLIAn
Over the past eight years
BYC has hosted the “Around
Egmont Key”
regatta. This event offers a
unique twist on the typical
yacht-racing venue. In this
event the competitors decide
which direction they will attack the racecourse. Clockwise or counterclockwise can
make the difference between a
first place win or limping
home at the back of the fleet.
The regatta participation
grew this year from fifteen to
twenty four entries over the
2012 event. The increase in participation was due to the fact that the event
had been included in the Sarasota Bay
Yachting Association’s Boat of the
Year series and the fact that the entry
cost to this regatta ($22.00) is the
lowest of any other event on the circuit.
First Place spinnaker was earned
by PC Robert Armstrong in Mischief
(fourth overall), Jeff Waldron steered
Crescendo to a fourth place (seventh
overall). PC Joe McClash steered
Windcaller to a second in non spin
while Mark Berte helming Swamp
Rabbit earned a second place in the
pocket cruiser division.
We would like to thank our race
officials Peter Robinson of Cortez
Yacht Club and Chuck Goes of
St. Petersburg Yacht Club for their
second year of duty managing this
event. We would also like to thank
Tim Casey, son of Bill Casey for this
professional quality photographs he
took of the event. •

Basin
STEvE hOCKETT
Greetings from the BYC Basin Committee! We have definitely been busy
lately. Hopefully, you have had a
chance to see the new utility pedestals
in the basin. Seven electrical pedestals
were recently replaced as a "pilot" project. We wanted to make certain we understood the depth of the work
required and the cost of the work. We
are very happy to report our success!
We came in under budget and with a
good understanding of the scope of
work necessary to complete the total
basin. We want to thank Dockmaster
Brent Mitchell for completing much of
the initial groundwork and saving the
club a considerable amount of money.
Likewise, our maintenance man and
dock hand performed jobs outside of
their normal scope. Their efforts
helped deliver the project in a timely
manner and as stated above, under
budget. We would also like to thank
our past Basin Committee for initial
studies and quotes that made it easier
to get this project started. Based on the
work done to date, we have approval
from the Board to move forward with
updating the entire basin.
I want to thank our current Basin
Committee members for their input
and contributions to improving the
BYC Basin. Some of our accomplishments and improvements in the last
few months include:
• Construction of a new bicycle rack
• Construction of a kayak rack located
near the BYC Beach gate and available
free of charge to members
• Replacement of fuel hose reels
• Revised the Basin move/wait list
process
• Placement of a mirror on the riverside sea wall to make leaving the basin
safer and easier
We hope you were able to join us at
the annual Basin Breakfast on April
20th. As always, there was food, camaraderie, and discussions around Hurricane Preparedness. Now is the time to
start thinking about your plan in the
event that we find ourselves in that
"cone of uncertainty". The Club has a
comprehensive plan, but everyone,
(whether in the Basin or not), should
have a solid plan for securing your
boating assets. •

Village Marina at Little Harbor Cruise Away
(Condo’s available)
May, named for the Greek goddess
Maia, is the fifth month of the year and
one of seven months with the length of
31 days. No other month
begins or ends on the same day of the
week as May in any year.
The March cruise to Marina Jack’s
in Sarasota had six boats attend for the
Easter weekend. The following boats
made the cruise: Mary’s Choice with
Fred, Mary Smith and their daughter
Pam, Bandit with PC Bill and Ruth
Baker, Rowe Boat with Ron and Joyce
Rowe, Aqualibrium with Rupe and
Kathy Willis; Piece of Cake with Barry
and Mo Sikes and Snowman with Ken
and Jackie Sosville. Everyone arrived
Power Fleet
KEn SOSvILLE
around noon or shortly thereafter.
The cruises only problem was with
Snowman, as the freshwater pump
failed and I had to get a ride to West
Marine late Friday afternoon from my
daughter that works in Sarasota. Thank
you, Rene.
Barry Sikes plays a base guitar and
has been known to help out other
bands on occasion. As this was the case
for Friday night, his wife Mo, Ron and
Joyce Rowe went to listen to Barry play
at the Five O’clock Club on Hillview
Street. in south Sarasota. The rest of us
found our own amusement around
downtown Sarasota.
Saturday everyone did their own
thing with most going to the farmers
market and/or the Arts and Craft
shows downtown. Some people went
bike riding while others walked the
John Ringling Bridge. The Rowe’s,
Baker’s and Sosville’s all went over to
the O’Leary’s tiki bar for a late lunch.
The Saturday night group dinner
was at Two Senoritas on lower Main
St. in downtown Sarasota. Seventeen
people attended this group dinner. All
the boaters were present along with
land cruiser Jeff and Pat Poulson. The
Rowe’s also had two guests with them.
Do not forget the power fleet meetings are the second Tuesday of every
month. Make your reservations early.
A $35 BYC gift certificate will be given
away during the Power Fleet meeting.
February’s $35 gift certificate was
won by Carl and Paula Trembicki
and March’s was won by Ray and
Elaine Barr. •

April was an exciting month with
lots to do. Flambé by the Bay was
well attended and the Club still
stands! Due to threatening weather
the event was moved inside. Thanks
to all fishermen who brought their
fresh catch for our Fresh Fish Sunday.
Our Cuba to Puerto Rico dinner
was unique and spicy. There are
more ethnic flavors to come this
month. Coinciding with First Friday
we have our Tres de Mayo Party
May 3, with Mariachi Madness! We will have a South of
the Border Buffet and great
drink specials. On May 31,
enjoy Italian food at our
Tuscan Buffet - Antipasti to
Tiramisu! May 12th, is our Mother’s
Day Buffet, one lucky Mom will win
a two-toned diamond bracelet! •
There is live music every
Friday night in May, come

This Memorial Day, our thoughts
go to those men and women who
sacrificed for our country. Many are
still serving in Afghanistan and other
countries. •

Great Mates
BRITTAnY GUIDO
It was the goal of this year’s Board
and Great Mates membership to work
towards transforming the Great Mates
into a 501c3 charitable not for profit
organization to continue the cycle of
generous giving and volunteerism
that our organization was founded on.
In September of last year about 18
ladies came out to show support by
voting for this process and although
there have been bumps in the road,
please know that we are moving
ahead and this designation will transform the Great Mates and this community.
You should be asking “What can I
do?” It’s simple...I ask you all to get
involved with Great Mates. We are
opening up the membership of The
Great Mates to include any and all
•12
persons who feel passionate about
giving within the club and our community. If you have any questions
about what this all means for the
Great Mates and the Club as a whole,
I urge you to call me or any of my
Board members, Nancy Schofield,
Nancy Christian, Debra Hastings,
Chris Harrington, or Sydney
Shaurette. It’s not that different from
what we have always done.
I am very pleased to announce that
the 2013-2014 Board of Directors has
been slated and will be installed by
the Great Mates Most Recent Past
President, Sydney Shaurette, in May.
Please come out to show your support
to these ladies this month. It would
mean a lot to them and to me.
We plan to have the Scholarship

Committee up and running and the
Community Outreach Fundraiser
will return next year! This means we
really need your help. You don't have
to take on a big position, we just need
you to come around and show up.
If you have never been to a Great
Mates luncheon or event, I kindly
ask you come and sit with me, have
lunch, and listen to the great things
we are doing. IT'S JUST LUNCH

Sail Cruising
MARK BERTE’
We kicked off the first Friday in April
with a “down to earth” wine tasting
aimed at cruisers. Yes, you guessed it,
we were sampling the popular boxed
wines. The cardboard boxes are easy to
store aboard, no glass and economical.
Ken Nyhus and team set us up in the
Gazebo with some cruiser friendly appetizers that we soon added to our galley
recipes.
On income tax weekend, Jack Gorman led a cruise to the Venice Yacht
Club. It was a motoring experience with
a wind on the nose, some seas building
and rain threatening but Orion and
Odyssey departed Friday April 12. Hegira wasn’t able to get out of the basin
with the stiff southerly breeze and
stayed behind. After seven hours of not-
too-bad motoring, the fleet arrived, still
rain free, at VYC. Cocktails ensued to
ward off dehydration. That evening,
Leslie and David Laber (Hegira) joined
Jack and Nancy Gorman (Odyssey) and
Pat and Jim Keller (Orion) for dinner at
the wonderful Crow’s Nest main dining
room.
On Saturday the fleet was visited by
Mark and Denise Berte’ for drinks at the
Tiki bar and lunch downtown after a 10k
race. At 6:30, Charles and Cricket
Clifton on Cricket motored in after a
sunny ride of only 6.5 hours. Then the
fun began. Venice YC had a Memphis
style dinner with an Elvis entertainer
that put on a great 2-hour show. We
danced to the tunes of our “childhood.”
The ribs and fried green tomatoes were
great, the peanut butter soup- not so
much.
Sunday was beautiful with nice winds
from the South. Not good enough to sail
offshore, but up the ICW, the brisk wind
was from behind for a new record run
for Odyssey of 6 hours club-to-club, including 6 bridges. Across Sarasota Bay
speed regularly hit 7.5 knots when the
tide was right. One note: the treacherous
shallows at Jewfish Key on the ICW have
been dredged and the channel now is
about 10’ …when you can find it.
The sailors landed at the BYC just
after the “Ladies at the Helm” awards
celebration. The afternoon wrapped up
at the BYC Tiki bar where both cruising
and racing war stories filled the air.
Our next cruise is to Treasure Island
Yacht Club May 25-27. The monthly
Cruise Fleet dinner is May 8, 7:30,
please call the Club for reservations.
Until next month, Bon Voyage. •

Vice Commodore
DEnISE CABAnILLAS
This year has been very successful
at the BYC. Our Entertainment
Committee chaired by Janet Amar
has provided us with many exciting
events this past year. The Committee
also held a successful Golf Tournament that raised funds to spend on
equipment that the Club is in need of
for more successful events.
Jack Gorman’s Communications
Committee has improved our magazine, website and presence on Social
Media along with currently putting
together a wonderful marketing strategy. Many thanks to that team who
made all this happen this past year.
Thanks to Mark Berte’ and our
Membership Committee, we con-
tinue to grow. I plan to keep up the
momentum next year. Each member,
new and existing, should have an
excellent experience at our Club.
Increased involvement and member
satisfaction are high on my list of
priorities and I have great expectations for our new Membership
Committee to help with this.
One of my goals is to enhance
our facilities with a few changes and
much needed maintenance. I will
continue to work with the House
Committee to address our facilities
including roof maintenance, parking
lot paving, with drainage and landscaping already anticipated. I will
support the Basin Committee in finishing the basin electric system.
Financial matters are my area of
expertise so it will naturally be my

focus also. I can
assure you our efforts and our assets will be
managed properly
and efficiently by
our new Board.
Our dedicated staff is part of the team
to ensure our Club and its members
enjoy the ultimate Club experience.
The Annual Meeting is scheduled
for May 28th and I anticipate seeing
many of you there. The Change of
Watch is June 29th and the Big Bang
(fireworks) will be the very next night
June 30. A band will be playing outside for your enjoyment. I hope to celebrate with old friends and make new
ones as we start another wonderful
year together at BYC. I look forward
to serving you as your Commodore. •
