Club Activity Report
by APRIL LANGILL, CLUBHOUSE MANAGER
A GREAT SUMMER TO REMEMBER
There are a lot of great things to look
forward to this summer, such as the
launch of the reciprocal agreement we
have with Haig Point, the Club’s 24th
Anniversary, the Independence Day Parade, game nights at the club and other
fun and social events we have in store for
all of you and your families. Of course,
this already has been a memorable and
meaningful time for me with the new
role I have undertaken both in my professional and personal life. Thank all of
you for your support and thoughtfulness.
Your vote of confidence means so much,
and your excitement for me is truly appreciated. I am grateful to be part of this
club family.
WELCOME, JESSA!

COMMODORE’S COMMENTS
by David Bachelder
As summer settles in, we are reminded
that “it’s all about the water”. Where better than the South Carolina Yacht Club to
take advantage of the water, the activities
it offers and the special views we all enjoy.
Nancy and I were fortunate to get a head
start on water activities this year. In early
June we spent 10 days relaxing on Elboe
Cay and cruising around the Abacos with
good friends. More recently we returned
from a quick trip to Pittsburgh where we
rode the incline to Grand View Avenue
at the top of Mount Washington. From
there you can see the Monongahela and
Allegheny Rivers merge to form the Ohio
River. It is a beautiful framework for
downtown Pittsburgh, Heinz Field and
the PP&G towers.
I hope all our members enjoyed the Ninth
Annual Windmill Harbour InWater Boat
Show. We had power and sail boats ranging from Hinckleys to Grady Whites, food
and retail vendors, exhibits, and much
more. It was a beautiful sight to see. The
committee headed by Muffy Schulze did
a wonderful job planning for and hosting
the event. We look forward to the 10th
annual boat show next year and encourage members to lend their time and tal-
ents to assist with
all the things it
takes to produce
this grand event.
We are excited
about the South
Carolina Yacht
Club’s new reciprocal agreement

oriented
community. What a great opportunity to
jump on a water ferry, enjoy a beach club
and have lunch! The organizers who put
this together are to be congratulated for
a creative way to offer all members additional benefits. Now our challenge is to
take advantage of this new relationship! I
sincerely hope that all Yacht Club members
will take the time to use this new shared
amenity. Over the years we have been fortunate to enjoy many good times at Haig
Point, from spending the night in a haunted lighthouse to golf and dinner at their
clubhouse. The beach club has great views
across to Harbour Town and the new restaurant has excellent food. We look forward to taking advantage of this exciting
new way to enjoy the WATER!

Cruising News
by ART BROWN, CRUISE FLEET COMMANDER
FLEET HAPPENINGS
May came in like a storm as boating activities picked up dramatically. The Beaufort
trip, held the last weekend in April, set the
stage. Trip Captains John and Suzanne
Schwendeman were the drivers supported
by Bill McGrath. The highlight of the trip
was the dinner served at the Schwendeman
home on Factory Creek. So, while the Blue
Angels Air Show was not to be, this 2013
initial fleet trip, it was a resounding success—enjoyed immensely by Asphalt and
Water cruisers.
The May membership meeting heard Paul
Barrow explain the importance of pre-trip
preparations. Paul is a master at addressing
preparations for long distance cruises and
then relating them to shorter trips more
applicable to our members. Following Paul’s
presentation, some 30 attendees moved to
the Catesby Room for another super meal
prepared by Chef Kevin and his team and
served by our terrific wait staff. In the
middle of May the Cruise Fleet responded
in mass to Muffy Schluze’s request for volunteers for the Boat Show-- great weekend!
Thanks to all who went the extra mile to
make the event successful.
The June membership meeting heard ongoing results of USCB Dr. Eric Montie’s
valued research on fish sounds in Port
Royal Sound & Surrounds. Eric is an
interesting educator/researcher who brings
a special and important dimension to the
Lowcountry as so much of our environment is home to water creatures, fish, and
saltwater mammals.
The 2013 version of the MacKay Creek
Games led by Captain Hal Wood held on
the 22 June (Summer Sailstice) is another
for the record. Hal continues his innovative
ideas for good and safe water events. If you
missed this one, be sure to plan for the 2014
Games as they are now part of the Cruise
Fleet DNA conducted near the day Spring
turns to Summer.

to Ela’s Restaurant there in the harbor for
an evening of fine dining. August, with its
heat and the absence of so many Cruise
Fleet members, is a month off. September
begins the Fall season with the membership
meeting on Thursday, 5 September.
Hurricane Season is upon us – again so
quickly – and it’s past time to prepare boats
for the Big One - which hopefully won’t
come! Captains recall, all boats should have
a written Hurricane Plan in the unwanted
chance of boat damage. Insurance companies are sure to ask to see plans and how
they have been implemented when claims
are submitted. Let’s not be caught short!
Let’s set the example for all boat owners
in the harbor. After all, active Cruise Fleet
membership is a big and important deal,
and we need to set the example for all boat
owners. By all means be SAFE!
CHARLESTON RECAP
Charleston was never so charming as when
graced by a contingent from the SCYC
Cruise Fleet this past May 30th to June 2nd.
Ultimately, nineteen Boaters and Asphalt

dinner at the Sweetgrass Grille, another returned home with mechanical difficulties.
Four boats made it to the Charleston City
Marina, eventually… The Pierces encountered a stubborn drawbridge operator and
arrived only after anchoring for three hours
waiting for the bridge to be reopened.
The Friday evening dock party was hosted
by Maureen and Bob Bush on their beautiful boat, Turangalila. On Saturday, a group
visited Patriot’s Point and was thoroughly
engaged by an enthusiastic docent, Bill
Creach, who guided us through the aircraft
carrier USS Yorktown. Others enjoyed the
many splendors of Charleston during Spoleto. Dinner that evening was held at the
quaint restaurant 39 Rue de Jean located
in the Historic District. Sunday brought
some occasional, but light rain showers to
chase the boaters home.
