What a difference a month makes. We hit 60º F in our area last week for the first time since midNovember last year, so it is starting to feel a lot closer to sailing season. Last Tuesday I left on a trip to Charleston, SC, with a stop in Atlanta and was snowed into the Atlanta airport for 8 hours. I guess we are not the only ones to suffer through a long cold winter! At the Board of Governors meeting on 3/4/10 we discussed the final scheduling of the social and racing programs which will be listed in the Mainsheet and on the NSA web site. The slip exchange meeting was held on Sunday, March 7th with a soup cook-off afterwards and there were many in attendance. Also, the Commodore Elect had a meeting with the work committee chairmen just before the slip exchange meeting to organize and relay expectations for the 2010 work credit program. Because of the Perry Yacht Club fire (caused by lightning) that destroyed their clubhouse last year, we put together a Fire Protection Committee to help identify ways we can protect our NSA assets and keep us safer. Our Property Manger has also met with the Cheney Fire Chief at NSA, who was pleased with the facility in general, but had some practical recommendations to help our cause. We have purchased a lightning protection system for the Afterdeck which will be installed soon and have added fire extinguishers to strategic locations. He also recommended installing a dry-hydrant that uses lake water that can help them fight a fire at the slips or Afterdeck. Things that club members can do to help include not storing flammable or combustible liquids in the dock boxes. This includes charcoal lighter fluid and gasoline/diesel fuel which is prohibited for storage in dock boxes in the NSA rules. If you have a yard space, you can keep the grass closely cut to eliminate fuel for a grass fire. We are also considering a rule of no charcoal fires within 25‘ of the Afterdeck. Also, special care should be taken when using the cooking appliances in the Afterdeck to make sure they are turned off after use and combustible materials are kept safe distances from them. As always, I invite all of you to the monthly Board of Governors meetings which are held the first Thursday of each month at 7:00 P.M. at the Airport Hilton Board Room (at this time). There is a member/guest forum at the beginning of each meeting, or simply come and see what is going on with the management of the club. Thank you again for your membership and support of NSA. Tom notices: * Afterdeck Reservations If you are interested in reserving the Afterdeck for NSA activities or renting the facility for a private function, please contact Past Commodore Andy Woodward via e-mail [email protected] or phone 316-841-8318 * Yard space Maintenance Yard spaces need to be maintained through the winter months. Mark your trailers, keep air in the tires, check your boats, secure loose halyards, close gates and lock unoccupied yards. * Security Almost every Sunday afternoon there have been gates left open. Please remember to check the gates when you are the last to leave the yards or docks. How often do you leave the front door open on your home when you are away? * Proof of Insurance If you lease a slip or yard space NSA requires that you provide insurance information which we all did when we signed the lease agreements. However, if your insurance agent, company or policy information has changed, please send the correct information in or send an email to the [email protected].

As a result, sailors using the crane this spring will not be hampered by limbs hanging over the channel. The waterway is very open and will still allow those nice breezes from the North to cool us off this summer. Take an opportunity to look at the progress made, and if you run into Kent Carter, Ken Solo, Alan Loehr, or Tim Peppard tell them what a nice job they did.
