Hello SJYC Members,
Finally the start of the boating season, the cruise out and raft out was a rousing success. We had over twenty boats out on the water and both groups enjoyed themselves, thanks to all who participated. Also thanks go out to the boats that assisted in the welfare of the two boats that decided to do a little hull buffing (mud does not work). The work parties did a lot to improve the appearance of the old girl.
The galley looks great and the floor made a vast improvement also, the current plan is to let the floor cure for 6 months and then buff it and put down a final coat. Because of the break in and operator error, the floor has a high dust content which needs to be smoothed out and a final coat to loose the dry spots, but for volunteer labor … hay not bad! Again thanks to all who assisted in this endeavor.
If you haven't been to the club this week the old girl is now alarmed. This system cost $0 to install and 30 dollars per month for monitoring. Also two cameras are purchased and will be installed: one to the water side and one to the land side. If something happens, we can play back the tape to see what transpired. This should help with the prevalent theft problem that has been recently occurring at the club and also on the island. PS, this publication will self destruct in 10 seconds (kidding).
Norm Shier sent a interesting e-mail suggesting a massive flea market during the 50s bash that sounds interesting. The club should consider this … we could have fun and make money at the same time (fun + money what a novel idea.) Well that’s my report. Have a great boating season and as Mr. Atthowe would say, a safe season. .
