Photos Steve Campbell MARCH OVERNIGHTER at the ASPEN GROVE The weather was the best it had been all Spring Break, so I had to do an overnighter. Unfortunately, illness befell those slated to go, so I ended up going alone. I did a little provisioning, but as usual, brought enough food for an army or a week. The sail up was uneventful, little wind but from everywhere. After a couple hours I decided to motor sail, because while it is said it is the journey, not the destination, sometimes it is the destination too, as in this case. The wind was a little cool; I envisioned anchoring out of the breeze and in the sun and relaxing and that is what I did. After I rounded the Skillet Handle, the wind became nonexistent so I motored the last three miles to my favorite anchorage at the Aspen Grove. After a couple hours of soaking up the sun in shorts and a t-shirt, I BBQ’d dinner and had a very relaxing evening. I retired early and woke up the next morning to heavy fog, so I put on the coffee and busied myself fixing breakfast and reading the news. After breakfast and cleaning, I poked my head out and was surprised to find it so warm with the fog. I grabbed another cup of coffee and went up on deck to relax and watch the fog lift. I was able to spend a beautiful morning and early afternoon relaxing in the sun and getting some work done until the wind came up around 1:00. So, relaxed and renewed, I pulled up anchor and set sail for home. The wind was great, out of the SW at about 10+ knots, no motor needed. This time it was about the journey, not the destination. –Steve Campbell, Catalina 30 Commodore‘s Report Vice Commodore’s Report Gathering at the fire pit by the lakeside….another great offering by our club this year! That Friday it was quite warm and spring-like but by evening a chill had entered the air, enough to remind us it was winter’s end. Sock Burning 2015 was fun! It was happy and laughing and uniting and flame-filled (in a good way). Yes, being up at the bar area on a Friday night is enjoyable but put everyone outside in the evening air with the lake right there…there was something quite special about it that no others in Klamath were enjoying that night but we were. Wednesday Night Racing begins later this month, after Racing 101 wraps up with a Skipper’s Meeting and a Sunday practice race. Many thanks to Mike Bliss for continuing to sponsor Racing 101. It’s quite evident the time and thought he puts into the information presented; almost as if he wants to get beat on a Wednesday night. As boating activities ramp up (yep!), we are all ambassadors of the club- to visitors, to non-member crew, but especially to each other. We promote goodwill in our actions, our words, and our attitudes toward the lake, boating, and each other. We’ve welcomed two new memberships into our gathering; let us continue to welcome them beyond the paperwork. To the sky and to the wind, see you soon down by the lake. elizabeth Sock Burning was a great success. We had a good time burning socks, welcoming in spring. Hot dogs were roasted and marsh mellows toasted. Connie passed the Baileys for dipping of the marsh mellows (very scrumptious). Thanks to all that donated new socks for the Mission. If you missed this event hope to see you next year. I want to thank Doug and Connie and Bob and Shirley for each hosting a Wednesday supper at the bar. The food was great. We have two more Wednesdays open [need volunteers] in April for hamburgers or hot dogs before Jim and Geraldine Wolf take the grill for the Spring Series. I also need volunteers for the Summer Series. Don’t want to do a series how about Friday soup? The refrigerator in the kitchen decided to become a freezer. I got it repaired and as soon as I get it adjusted correctly we should have things back to normal soon. Happy sailing, Dick and Carolyn Rear Commodore’s Report Activity has been stepping up around the club lately. We are usually anxiously waiting for the ice to melt but the weather had been beautiful for this time of year. While it is nice to have such warm weather this early it is also concerning. In the end we always have a fun sailing season. We had a very productive work party in March. It's pretty amazing how much can get done in just a few hours. If you are wondering how you get your work assessment hours in, just keep an eye out for work parties. They are announced in the Scuttlebutt and notice will also go out through the email list. Work parties are an easy way to get hours plus you get to enjoy the camaraderie of other club members. Boats are slowly getting in the water. If you had a slip last year you can put your boat back in the same slip. Just make sure to have your moorage paid by the 15 of April. If your moorage has not been paid, you may lose your spot. If you have any questions please let me know. Thanks, Tim Board Notes unofficial March 12, 2015 Treasurer’s Report Bob Dortch Marian Dortch stepped in to take minutes. Items of note: Tile Depot donated the bulk of the kitchen tile; Brian and Carol Hansen donated decorative tile ‘trim’. Long wooden tables (recently replaced by February table purchase) donated to American Legion. Linoleum being looked into for kitchen floor. Piling caps being purchased for installation at next work party (March 21). Val Jones and Jeff Burcher approved as new members. Club Project List reviewed and updated; to be posted in clubhouse. Review of updated liability statement that members show proof of liability insurance at time of moor, store, or use of boat at KYC. Next meeting April 9, 6:30pm. NOW IS YOUR LAST CHANCE to report your work hours for 2014 or be billed $10/hour for any shortages. To date, only about half of the membership have reported any work hours. You can report your work hours in many ways as long as it's in writing. The Treasurer's e-mail address is [email protected] and the books close on the 25th of each month for billing purposes so unless you want to be billed, please get your work hours for 2014 reported. Thanks.

Caps installed on pilings (we look established!). Raking, raking, raking. Un-needed items moved to Bone Yard. Workshop picked up; cabinet placed inside. Exterior of workshop cleaned up. Handicap Parking sign cemented in (first of two). Weeds galore sprayed. Sink hole filled in once more. Kestrel pulled back up on jetty. Comraderie shared.

Photos Liz Campbell Sock Burning 2015 Supported by Carolyn Ford’s supply of paper socks, Richard Ford initiated spring with a celebratory speech and doffing-off of his socks. Richard was followed by many KYC sailors eager to usher in spring with the annual “burning of the socks”. Doug Riese and Ernie Waters were on hand to assist with proper sausage-skewering techniques and Mel Murakami and Tina Mahacek brought out marshmallows as the sun set. Vic & Laura Ford The non-sock-tainted roasting location. Jim Carpenter, Chuck Dunbar, Bill Wright, Bud Cook Sock Burning is rooted in “fact”. On the East Coast, Annapolis area, they annually celebrate spring’s onset with “Ode to the Equinox” and burnt socks. A view from Southern California, shared by KYC friend Larry Arthur: I was driving home on I-5 from San Diego last month and came over the top of the hill overlooking Dana Point (Bud knows where this is.). Lo and behold, there out in the bay was a veritable flotilla of boats. Too many to count. I tried counting the sails and dividing by two but no good. Suffice to say a lot. Could only think of Klamath Lake and a Regatta on the 4th of July.
