I want to thank everyone that supported me and everyone that came to the general membership meeting. We have a lot to look forward to this year and lots of work to do on the bridge. I hope to have the support of everyone going forward. Now that it is November it’s time for our Commodore’s Ball. Carole has sent out the invitations and I hope everyone can make it. First Lady Mary and I are looking forward to a great time! Shiftwork will be playing, drinks will be flowing and the food will be fabulous. I have presented the Board of Governors with a plan to bring racing back to Maryland Yacht Club. I think it’s time we had a taste of what Maryland Yacht Club used to be. Plus, I think it’s a great way to recruit new members for the club. It’s time we give the Baltimore area a yacht club to talk about! Commodore Jim Gorman did a great job initiating the MYC Cup Challenge with the Rock Creek Sailing Association. I hope to expand on that and bring back some power boat racing too! This weekend we are having our Princess Regatta (I’m writing this on the 24th of October) and looking forward to as many participants as we can round up among the fleet to participate. Once upon a time Maryland Yacht Club had a Regatta Weekend with over 600 races over 3 days each Fall. Just think what a sight that would be to have Rock Creek full of boats racing in the Maryland Yacht Club Regatta Weekend. We also have an opportunity to have the MYC youth compete in sailing regattas around the bay and at home. We are looking into that as well. We have a lot to look forward to at MYC and a wonderful past to use as we head to the future. Look around the club as we progress in ALL areas of our operations to improve the total quality of the member’s experience. In light of making this a great place for every member of Maryland Yacht Club please keep in mind the bylaws and rules that govern our club. They are for everyone. Until next time, Commodore Paul Vice Commodore From the Vice Commodore First of all thank you for the support and voting me to advance from Rear Commodore to Vice Commodore. Even though there was no opposition it was great to see the members support by voting. Donna and I are busy planning what we hope is a memorable Opening Weekend which will be heavily focused and directed on our membership. We have settled on a “fun theme” which will be revealed at the Commodores Ball November 15. Fall is here in full force and the Club activities just keep on coming. Many thanks to Power Fleet Captain Gary Bullis for his organizing the great Frostbite Cruise get together at Langford Bay Marina/Cacaway Island. A fun time was had by all with delicious appetizers. The sail/ ride over was one of the best all season with the return trip the next day “challenging” to say the least. Watching green water go over the top of Gary, Arnolds and Allan’s boat was quite a sight as we all crawled forward to get past Love Point on our return trip. Many thanks to Commodore Paul and Immediate Past Commodore Emory on greeting us as we sailed past the MYC Pavilion in our first Fleet Review in many years. Thank you for reviving the tradition. Last Saturday we had our MYC Regatta with quite a few sailboats participating. The Commodore’s boat (Paul was gracious enough to sail with Donna and I, as his boat is on the hard), placed a respectable 5th and we had a great time. We passed Emory on Larry’s Galeta and he looked like he was having a blast. Everyone did. Thank you Sail Captain Larry Korpanty for doing a great job in organizing and running it. We need more events like this…and guess what…stay tuned as Commodore Paul has some exciting new ideas to increase participation in many aspects of what we are about…..a yachting club and racing. As the Vice Commodore this year my focus will be on members, social events, and the food service. Helping the Program Director, Auxiliary, and our General Manager pull off great events which get the club members involved. To this end, bring friends with you to the events. This is one way we get new members. We need new members. We need new members of all ages. I will continue to work to make our newly names porch dining, the AFTERDECK a popular as well as improved area to get together when we don’t have access to the Clubhouse food/meals/drink is a necessary to get people to congregate. All you need to do is look at Friday nights in the Clubhouse. In order for our club to succeed not only do we need new members, we need the current members to participate in activities. I often ask members why you did you join a club vs. a marina. Time and time again the answer is we wanted to meet similar people who like boating, we like to have a place to meet socially, or because our friends are here. Please volunteer to help run activities. I spent 2 hours watching all the young kids have a blast on Sunday at the kids Halloween party. Most all of us are/ were parents and it was so heartwarming and fun to witness. My hats off to the Auxiliary and members who helped give the kids something they will remember. They volunteer as most of us do out of the kindness of their hearts. It’s a way of “paying it forward”. If you want to get the true club experience and meet others volunteering is the way to get it. If all you do is want a place to keep your boat…well that’s what you will get. Please sign up and enjoy New Year’s Eve Dinner Dance with some of your friends at MYC. Great menu, great music, and here at your club. We are now opening it up for you to invite your friends. Mahalo, VC Dave A Look To the Rear Message from the Rear Princess Directors I am very excited about putting out my first edition of Maryland Yacht Club’s Kedge. Please feel free to pass on any suggestions to me at [email protected]. Right now I am wearing two hats for our Club – one as Rear Commodore and the other as Secretary. We need someone to volunteer to be our Secretary. The position requires taking notes at both the Board of Governors and Executive Committee meetings. The Board meets on the 3rd Friday of each month and the Executive Committee always meets two days prior to the Board meeting. The minutes of each meeting are sent electronically to committee and Board members. Attendance at every meeting is not necessary as a recorder can be used or another member can take notes. Wearing the officer’s uniform is not required. Being the Club Secretary is a great way to find out what is going on at the Club and to participate in making improvements our members want. I will be working hard this coming year as Rear Commodore generating the best issues of the Kedge that I can and continuing to work with our Board to reach the best solutions to issues that our members have asked us to work on. I especially enjoyed two of our October events – the Frost Bite Cruise and the Auxiliary’s Halloween Party. Thank you Gary Bullis for organizing a very successful cruise – the hot sausages and breakfast muffins were awesome. And hats off to the Auxiliary for a fun filled afternoon of Halloween activities and treats for our children and grandchildren.

Gary W. Bullis, Power Fleet Captain - November 2014 Kedge Article I was very honored and pleased to be asked by Commodore Paul Dolan to be his Power Fleet Captain. I have watched Larry Korpanty organize and lead the MYC Sail Fleet very successfully and I can only work hard and hope to do the same. I am excited to bring some fresh ideas for Bay cruises to some new destinations as well as cruises to good ol’ standby ports of call. I plan to offer at least one cruise per boating month to either a marina destination or a raft up anchorage. I personally prefer to be out on the Bay more at anchor and rafting up with other boats. I look forward to that camaraderie, the stories, the laughs, the cook outs, and those group dinghy explorations. Dinghies and kayaks allow for such an expanded Bay experience where one can wander ashore if desired, further back in that secluded cove or farther up that winding marsh lined creek. I feel that being at anchor allows for a more true Bay experience. But there will be a good mix of both marinas and anchorages planned. I welcome ideas from other power fleet members – resident and social members. I know there will be more joint sail & power fleet cruises in 2015. I will welcome your ideas and will be sending out some tentative dates and destinations in December or January as I know we have to book the good places early. I look forward to your participation in one, two, or many planned cruises in the coming 2015 boating season. Until next time, may your final fall cruise(s) be wonderful and your winterizing be thorough and successful. Cheers, Gary Believe a Bull 2002 Mainship 390 Trawler Maryland Yacht Club Frostbite Cruise October 18th & 19th 2014 Gary W. Bullis It was an Yachtoberfest indeed! Our MYC Frostbite cruise to Lankford Bay Marina (seven boats) and Cacaway Island (four boats) was indeed an adventure. The cruise over Saturday morning/afternoon was both pleasant and enjoyable - a steady and healthy breeze was pushing us across the Bay. Being prudent boaters, I sense every one of us had the return cruise on our minds. What cruises across, must cruise back. But I digress. Cruising the Chester River is always a wonderful journey and this trip was no exception. The winding River and the shoreline sights make for a great day on the water. Approaching Lankford Creek, the Fall colors seemed to pop and as we entered the protected waters off the marina, we seemed to be surrounded by nature – the trees, the birds, the water, and the tranquility of it all. Into their slip as the wind played havoc with our beams and thus our docking prowess. We all did fine as expected. Once each boat was tied safe in the slip, each crew joined in assisting the next boat And shortly after that we were all gathered up in the marina’s pavilion preparing food and festivities. Wonderful views from the hilltop, light fare and beverages of choice, and friendship and laughter were shared by all. I believe I counted 21 MYC members all enjoying themselves in conversations with each other. A fine gathering indeed. Saturday night, Donna and Arnold hosted 11 of us on Chesapeake Pearl’s expansive flybridge. Good thing the bimini curtains were snug and tight as the wind outside reminded us of what was in store for us tomorrow on our return cruise. Sunday morning arrived with the winds about as expected. We were warmed by our coffee, muffins, breakfast, and friendship. After some decisions of “should I stay of should I go”, some departed and some stayed. Let it be said that those that stayed were more relaxed, calmer, and would have less cleaning up the scattered pieces of salon decorations, wine bottles, and dishes that were not secured prior to the departure from Lankford Creek. But boy did they miss an adventure. This return cruise will be talked about for years to come I am sure. Hitting the mouth of Chester River and Love Point, well, … let’s just say that seeing Hide a Way’s 50 foot hull riding up and down what must have been 5-8 foot waves and swells was quite a sight. Same for my 39 feet and 7 foot bow riding up and down and plunging in and out of the next wave. Needless to say, we all were at our seaman’s best as we made our way across the bay and safely back to MYC – with a fantastic experience under our belt that you can never make up any other way. Here’s to the Frostbite Cruise of 2014! Managers’ Report It is November and this means time for friends to gather around our warm fire, more great club events, and sadly, to prepare for winter. The following are 2 reminders of winter procedures: Winter Slips Here is what our resident members need to do for our winter maintenance. If you are planning to leave your slip for the winter, it is your responsibility to let the office and our Basin Director, Greg Pabst know. If you plan to take a different slip for the winter it is your responsibility to: Submit in writing to the basin director your request and first choice of slip, Greg will then let you know if that slip is available or spoken for already. Winter slips are approved on a first written notice basis. Once you have received approval you must notify the office of the move and the date of intended move. Please remember we will be reading both electric meters You must vacate the “winter” slip no later than March 31, 2015. You must notify the office when you vacate the winter slip for your contracted slip. To notify the office you may email: [email protected], and/or [email protected] To notify the Basin Director you may email: [email protected] MYC Snow Policy Just like any other community, reasonable snow removal policies are in place at MYC. The following are some of the procedures to be aware of when the forecast calls for snow. The News page of the website will be updated with any closings and will typically follow Anne Arundel County. As with all bad weather, team up with another MYC member to check on boats and lines. MYC staff does not do this. We will salt the main walkways including the steps, bathhouse and the hill. We do not salt the piers. If you would like salt anywhere else, you may do so with your own salt. At 1inch of snow with continuing snow fall we shovel the walkways. Keep all ropes and cords off the walk way of the pier, if they become damaged it is not MYC’s responsibility. Remember to put a shovel in your car and on your boat as we do not shovel out cars or finger piers or clean snow off boats. Plowing The plow company is called with minimum of 3-4 inches with continuing snow expected. The plow route has been established and will continue to be the same as previous years. Due to the cost, the plow does not do the center of the basin parking lot. Parking in the upper lot of D pier, please make every effort to have cars parked on just one side of the lot. This will allow the plow better access to that lot. It’s hard to believe but ½ of our year is almost over so please review your Chit statement. You have until March 31st to use your chits but please don’t wait that long – come and enjoy the lounge & dining room now. Managers’ Report cont. Specials this month in the lounge and try one of our fall drink specials Nutty Irishman Coffee Enjoy a Side Car Spiced Pumpkin Martini ** Important Dates to Remember ** Events are also listed on the Calendar of our MYC website. November 7 - The Fall Wine Tasting – This tasting will include wines from Chateau St. Jean, Columbia Founders and more. Please plan to join the fun. Complimentary Hors d’oeuvres will be served.

There are big plans for some more projects this fall and winter. One project is to identify all the dock boxes on F pier. If you have a dock box along the wall by F pier please place your name on the box and email me at [email protected], I have attached a picture of a box that we can’t identify as belonging to a current member. We will open any boxes not identified as current resident members and try to clean up this area. Also on November 1st I will be hosting a fall cleanup day and another day to split some firewood for the club. I would also like to know if there is any interest in water dingy dockage. As of this time, there is no regulation on a dingy stored on a float in the basin but I plan to address this at the next board meeting. Our staff has mounted a TV in the board room and is now hooked up to the DVD player for members use. Please use this TV properly and keep all remotes with the units.

We have been holding the Tailgate Parties down at the pavilion. We have had good food, drinks and friends. If you missed them, we will be having them again next year. The weather is getting too blustery in November to have them, but you can join us in the clubhouse each Sunday, to watch the game. The games are more entertaining to watch with friends. On October 28th we had our very first Family Fun Day. The day was really amusing with Michael Ricigliano and his silly games. The theme of the day was Olympics. We had opening ceremonies, trivia, skill tests, and Olympic medals were given out. The group of members and their families that attended truly enjoyed themselves. We are looking forward to having Michael back to have another Family Fun Day next year. There are so many events coming up at the club that you need to read the Blasts that come out every week to keep current with events. New events maybe added and there will be updated information about events such as the upcoming Commodores Ball on November 15 at 6:30 PM. The cost for the affair will be $80.00 per person. In December, we will have the Holiday Brunch on December 14th at 11:30 AM. That same day, the Children's Christmas Party will be held at 1:00 PM. After a short hiatus, the New Year's Eve Party is back. The cost of the event will be $70.00 per person and the party will start at 8:00 PM. Please look out for Blasts, fliers at the club house, basin restroom, pavilion and the 2 signs at the pier for all upcoming events. Often, I need people to help me with the Club's Programs.

There are 2 types of reciprocity. The first is simply if a Yacht Club offers reciprocity it typically means, as a fellow Yacht Club member, you will be allowed into their club, at a reduced rate or special arrangement for a limited period of time. Boaters who are not Yacht Club members are generally not allowed. To locate these clubs, in our boardroom, the Yacht Clubs of America book lists Yacht Clubs by state and the CBYCA book is a roster of local clubs. When you find the club you would like to visit, call them and see what their arrangement is, every clubs policy is different. The second type of reciprocity is among the “Big 6” Yacht Clubs General Managers. These clubs include; Baltimore, Chesapeake, Kent Island, North East, Miles River and MYC. The special rate available is $25.00 per night plus electric. The agreement is that this rate will not apply to a cruise. Cruises are very welcome, but come at the standard reciprocity rate. So, go out exploring, have fun and return to your home port with wonderful tales from the sea! Pump-outs - You may have us put you on a weekly pump-out schedule or you may request a portable pump-out 48 hours in advance by emailing [email protected] or notifying the office 410-255-4444 [email protected] or [email protected] Old Ropes – If you have old Ropes or lines you no longer need, let Ernie know, he has several projects where he can make use of them. So far we have received one donation, Thank You.
