January 6: PYC Board Meeting
Happy New Year to all for 2010. By now most of you
have recovered from the holidays and the New Year’s Day
Commodore’s Cruise-Out to Driftwood.
During the joint board meeting held in December, I
outlined some goals and objectives for 2010. It is my intention to assign a couple of major projects to your directors.
This is being done to expose these officers to the daily operation of the club and to kindle their interest in progressing through the chairs. After our January board meeting I
hope to outline more of a program of projects for the upcoming year.
As always it’s the Commodore’s responsibility to recognize major contributors to your club. To Debbie Wagner, many ‘Thank You’ for your attention to our Yeoman.
Also your dinner for our joint meeting was outstanding. As
most of you have noticed your club is bustling with rental
activity. When you see Wanda Dillon and Dorothy
O’Connor please let them know you appreciate their efforts.
Reminder to all that the monthly board meetings are
always open to members. If you have anything to contribute or would like to get a front row seat please drop by to
get a feel for your club. As you can tell I’m really recruiting some new faces for upcoming board seats.
All members were very supportive last year to our
board and I’m asking you one and all to continue your sincere support for 2010.
If you see something that needs to be done, do it, or
tell a board member and we’ll get it done.

t's January. That means Monday night football is over already, but we still have Super
Bowl Sunday coming. If anyone would like to over see that
event give me a call 925-858-9145. Carlos and I have done
the halftime dinner for three years and it needs some new
ideals and/or menu.
Alrighty, we've got Big Dan at the helm and Miss
Carol at the back of the boat, so looks like another good
year at PYC.
It's time open your wallets and let the butterflies
out. We have the Commordore’s dinner on the January
23rd, Jim Martin’s Crab feed January 16th, the Super
Bowl Party on February 7th and our Annual Hot Crab
Feed on the February13th… and then on March 13th we
have our St. Patrick’s Day Corned Beef Dinner. Boy, I've
got to slow down!
Bars open come by and say howdy,

T
his new year, we begin with the
Club in very good shape. Many
thanks to Dan O’Connor and the
entire 2009 Board of Directors’ for all the hard work!!
We would like to schedule our first ‘Work Party’
for this upcoming March. Your new Commodore has several projects in mind which really do need to be completed
and for which we would solicit help from our Members.
Repair the firewall in the upstairs Board Room. The Side
Yard that needs cleaning (!!) and concrete poured for a pad.
Broken Roof Tiles: These need repair and should you see
anyone at all walking on the Clubhouse Roof, please stop
them or contact a Board Member, as these broken tiles will
surely lead to water damage. We would like to add one
more major task and that is to finally finish the lattice
skirting around the deck. It is at the moment, rather unsightly.
That is it for the moment. Should you see anything that needs attention, please do contact me or another
Board Member.

The will not be a dinner on Wednesday
January 6, 2010. We are giving Rich
Cervantes a break.
We will kick off the New Year
with Wednesday night Dinners on January
13, 2010 with guest chef Steve Simmons.
Steve has graciously agreed to start the
New Year with a great dinner and give Dan Hoffman a break
from his duties.
Please take Steve's lead and volunteer to do just one
or two dinners a year to let our regular chefs have some time
off.
Thank you and I will look forward to seeing everyone
on January 13, 2010 if not before!

Well, I hope everyone had a Happy
and Safe Holiday Season. As I write
this, it is just before the Lighted Boat
Parade and the weather forecast doesn’t look too good. I’m hoping it will get a little better as
we get closer, but….
As you are reading this, we should have also completed
our Commodore’s Cruise out to Driftwood and I’m sure we
had a good time. This month we don’t have any other
cruise outs. Our first one of the years is in February when
we go to Vallejo. Look for more information in the club
and next month’s Yeoman.
Below is the cruise out schedule for 2010 and everything
is confirmed. The only one I’m not 100% sure of is Sacramento, but 5/27-31 is Memorial Day weekend when it
should be. I also don’t have anything down for September,
if anything changes with The Seafood Festival, I will
schedule something if time allows.
Feb. 19-21 Vallejo - confirmed
Mar. 12-14 Caliente - confirmed
Apr. 16-18 Petaluma - confirmed
May 27-31 Sacramento Jazz Festival
June 18-20 Stockton - confirmed
July 23-25 Marina West - confirmed
August 20-22 Napa - confirmed
October /8-17 Down Bay – confirmed and a
work in progress
Again, just a note, to all you folks who don’t have a
boat, be aware that you are more than welcome to join us
on cruise outs by driving to where we are. I just need to
know to schedule your dinner reservation. So come on out
and play with us. Also, I’m always looking for crew, so if
you want to come with me, just let me know, first come
first serve.
It will be a pleasure to once again
serve PYC as your Port Captain,
and thank you for continued support.
I have already confirmed the following dates for the following yacht clubs to cruise in to PYC in 2010:
January 30th: Caliente Isle YC
February 5 - 6th: Bridge Marina YC
February 19 - 21: Benicia YC
March 5 - 6: Dos Rios
March 19 - 20; Sacramento Bayliner
April 16 - 17; Solano YC
May; Open
June 11 - 12: Delta Marina
July: Club Rentals
August 6: Coyote Point YC
Sept 10 - 11: Ox Bow YC
Oct: Open
Nov. 12 - 13: Bridge Marina
Dec. 11: Lighted Boat Parade?
I look forward to meeting with some of our new members
and getting involved with our cruise-in's. As you know we
need to have function chairman's and help for each cruise
in.
Please contact me if you would like to sign up for a function and help, remember each member is required to put in
at least 8 hours per year. It is fun and you get to meet new
members and get involved with the cruise in people.
Come share and enjoy the camaraderie!

That’s it for now, remember, keep the mossy side
down and the shiny side up and I’ll see you on the water.

L
ast month the end was near, well now the end is here. I want
to thank all of you for allowing me the opportunity to serve this
club and hopefully make some progress.
I will be around the club and on cruise outs, so I’ll still
see you all. For 2010 I will be busy though. I have been accepted to the Project Management Institute Project Management Professional course so I can work towards getting my credentials. It’s a very intense course and I’ll be doing that for first
six months then go for my certification. Then I can put those
letters ‘PMP’ after my name on my business cards (and hopefully
a few more $ signs to my paycheck). I also want to spend more
time being involved with my daughter’s equestrian competitions.
I believe she has a shot at the 2016 Olympics if she keeps on
track, so I want to be there to help out.

EMBER P ROFILE OF THE M ONTH
R ALPH & J ACKIE T OCCI
When he left
home at the age of 15
to make his way in the
world, Ralph Tocci
found himself working
on a commercial fishing boat. And that
was the beginning of a
life-long association
with boating. At 17,
he opened a boat repair business. And eventually began yacht sales in Jack London Square in Oakland, where he
operated several businesses over
18 years during the late 60’s, the
70’s and 80’s, including Embarcadero Boat Works, yacht sales,
and The Spice Box. During that
time, Ralph was active with the
Oakland Metropolitan Yacht Club,
where he served as Commodore
during the 1980’s. On the side,
he ran off shore races in Alameda, and started off shore races
at Lake Tahoe in the 1980’s.
He also opened an associate office in Marina Del Rey
in southern California during the 1970’s, where he rubbed elbows with the movie industry. His business chartered boats
for the film companies and movie stars, like movie Lucky
Lady, and ol’ blue eyes himself, Frank Sinatra. He even did
TV commercials! When the economy turned bad in the early
80’s, Ralph was not one
to sit around. He spent
3 years traveling around
the world serving individual clients who had
large yachts built and
then delivered. He then
returned home and
opened a Carver California dealership. He
sold that and in 1987 opened
a yacht sales office and a
marine parts store at the Antioch Marina. In 1998 a terrible fire erupted, caused by a
short in the wiring on the
docks, and in minutes,
burned the marina and Ralph
lost 13 boats and his business.
But, some influential folks from Pittsburg saw an opportunity, and invited Ralph to open a yacht sales office at the
Pittsburg Yacht Club marina. And when you are at the club, if
you look out the window, you’ll see Tocci Yacht sales office
still there, after 11 years.
In 1980 Ralph met his anchor, Jackie, by pure coincidence. Jackie was invited on a boat by friends for a cocktail.
When the friend’s husband went to get ice, he came back with
ice cubes and Ralph. That began their relationship which
eventually led to marriage in 1988. Jackie
worked for years in the
office of a sanitary district. So, when they got
married, Ralph, always
creative, thought it
would be fun if they
rode to their wedding in one of the garbage trucks! Well,
Jackie thought that idea stunk and nixed it! Ralph and Jackie
live in Moraga, and have for many years, with the deer, including the one that makes a bed in the bushes outside their bedroom window, the raccoons, wild
turkeys, and nearby cows. And
they love every minute of it. Except, of course, when they are in
the Golf Stream RVing, heading
to Palm Springs, Arizona, and
Mexico. Between the two, they
have 5 daughters and 4 grandchildren--and, not the least, Vin-
(Continued on page 11)
January 2010
nie, their dog. Vinnie considers himself chairman of the hospitality committee for the PYC, and serves as the official PYC
greeter to cruise-in boats!
Ralph stops by the Club regularly. He and Jackie like
to attend the Friday night dinners when they can. You hear
Ralph’s auctioneering skills at the annual auction/dinner in
November, and you can enjoy an occasional Wednesday night
dinner cooked by the Tocci’s. When you see them, stop and
chat with Ralph and Jackie Tocci, January 2010 members of
the month.

WORD OF THE DAY
Sturm und Drang • \shtoorm-unt-DRAHNG\ • noun
: turmoil
Example Sentence: The new film deftly captures the
Sturm und Drang of growing up as it chronicles the turbulent lives of two teens in postwar Germany.
Did you know? “Sturm und Drang” comes from German, where it literally means “storm and stress.” Although
it’s now a generic synonym of “turmoil,” the term was
originally used in English to identify a late 18th-century
German literary movement whose works were filled with
rousing action and high emotionalism, and often dealt with
an individual rebelling against the injustices of society.
The movement took its name from the 1776 play Sturm
und Drang, a work by one of its proponents, dramatist and
novelist Friedrich von Klinger. Although the literary
movement was well known in Germany in the late 1700s,
the term “Sturm und Drang” didn’t appear in English
prose until the mid-1800s.

TWO MINUTE MYSTERY
"THE DEAD DETECTIVE"
By Guy Belleranti
“Pretty fancy for a P.I.'s office,"
Sergeant Dawson commented. "Hay did all right since leaving the
force."
"Until now," said Lieutenant Molly Mulroy. She took in the plush
furnishings, the huge oak desk, and the expensive artwork adorning the walls. But the effect was ruined by Harry Hay's crumpled
form bloodying the carpet beneath the window. The summer
morning sun poured through the single, open window. It was
warm, but the room felt cold with death.
Molly studied the dead private eye one more time. "Looks like the
killer smashed in his skull from behind."
"Yeah," Dawson agreed. "And that bloody hammer beside him is
what did the job
"Probably. It might also be what was used to stun Patrolman
Grove. Let's go out to the waiting room and see what Grove can
tell us."
Policeman Artie Grove gingerly pressed an ice bag to the lump on
the back of his skull. "I'd stopped at the café across the road for a
cup of coffee. When I came out, I heard a loud cry. It seemed to
have come from this building, so I hurried over and pounded on
the door. No one answered, but I noticed the door wasn't quite
latched, so I gave it a push. The door to the inner office wasn't
closed, and across the room...Well, you know what I saw."
January 2010
pulled up."
"It wasn't?" Molly glance out the window to the photographer's
studio across the parking lot. "What door did you use to come in
this morning?"
"There's only one--on the other side of the building."
"Thanks. Uh, one more thing. The weapon--"
"Was it that hammer? If so, it wasn't Harry's. But I saw Jim Lacey
using one like it yesterday out in front of his store."
"Jim Lacey?"
"Yes. He owns that photo place. He and Harry didn't get along at
all."
Molly and Dawson went to question Lacey.
"I don't know what you think I can tell you," Lacey complained.
"Then you know why we're here?"
"Sure. When I saw the cop cars and ambulance I popped outside to
check what was happening
"I understand you were repairing something with a hammer yesterday
"Yeah. An awning. So what?"
"May I see the hammer, please."
"Can't. Forgot to bring it inside. I was just looking for it now,
but...Damn! You're not saying my hammer was used
"Sure looks that way, Mr. Lacey."
"Well, it wasn't me. Though Hay's getting murdered doesn't surprise me. I developed a few pictures for him when he first started
up. Bad stuff. Told him to take his business elsewhere. How he
"We do," Molly said. "But that's not the end of your story."

(also called "cryptoquip" or "cryptoquote")
is text that has been disguised by changing its letters. Crypto! uses a simple substitution cipher, for example all of the A's might be replaced with
Q's, all of the B's with W's, etc. To solve the cryptogram, you must figure

Mini Mystery
Who does Lt. Molly Mulroy suspect? Patrolman Grove
What clue has attracted her attention?
When Dawson moved toward the bloodstained carpeting, Molly noticed his
shadow and saw the truth. Grove said his assailant’s shadow fell over his shoulder as he approached Hay’s body, but that wasn’t possible. The morning sun
coming in the window would throw all shadows behind a person, not in front of
him.
Caught in the lid, Grove confessed. “If you think Hay’s fancy office came
from great detective work, think again. He was nothing but a slimy blackmailer.
He’d been bleeding me for a stupid mistake I made when we were partners years
ago.
“I spotted that hammer laying outside and saw my chance. But as I was
about to leave, I heard that secretary’s care door slam. I didn’t think I could
squeeze my big frame through Hay’s office window. So I hit myself with the hammer and came up with my story.
