Fishing Awards Dinner INFO

From the Commodore

 

Happy New Year, Miamogue!   The holidays are behind us, the winter solstice has passed and the sun is beginning its slow rise in the southern sky.  Our thoughts will soon drift to the warm rays of spring and the start of the 2023 boating season.

During these next months, don’t be a stranger to the club.  Come in, share a beverage and some time with your fellow members.  Remember:  the Clubhouse bulletin board is the only location for notification of open slips for the 2023 season.

Interested in up-to-date information on coming events at the Club?  Make sure your name and mobile number are part of the phone bank monitored by Cassidy and Stephanie.  Texts are sent out on a regular basis providing information on Club activities.  Call the bar or stop in to add your name to the Contact list.

Galley update…finally!  Those who attended the December General Body Meeting were treated to a delicious Grazing Table presented by Chef Vicky Robinson.  Vicky is a professional chef who specializes in catering and has proposed a mutually beneficial arrangement with the club:  she will use our galley for her business and, in return, provide lunches and dinners to MYC during the course of each month!  We are currently working through the details and hope to have more information to share in the next couple of weeks.  Stay tuned.

 

Our next General Body Meeting is Tuesday, 01/24/2023, at 1900hrs.

The bar will close at 1850hrs. to ensure a prompt start.

I encourage all members to attend.

 

Warm regards,

Peter Aiksnoras

There are threepart combined Launch Haul forms available at the club  A member needs to fill out and have signed by the  appropriate  Club Officer, the Yard or Dock Master, a set of the three part forms before launching their boat.  At the end of the boating season before  hauling your boat, no matter if you are storing it in the water, in the yard, or removing it from the property, a member needs to  fill out another  complete new three part copy of the launch haul form and have it signed by the  appropriate  Club Officer, the Yard or Dock Master.
  This is necessary for slip and storage planning.
For all the obvious reasons, Clearly put your name  and contact info on your boat, where it can be easily seen, for example on the shrink wrap,  when it is hauled in the fall.  Clearly mark your trailer with your name and contact information, at the front of the trailer by the coupling,   if you are storing it on the club property  for the summer.

 Please prepare your paperwork and your boats for the end of season haul. Remember the weather will change quickly and the water in the yard will be turned off accordingly. We have many new members hauling this year and are expecting a large haul. We have limited space and this is a first come first served operation. As always last out is first in and if you are not prepared to launch in the spring you will be repositioned at your expense. Please be reminded there is no POWERWASHING allowed in the yard. Please plan accordingly. As always, thank you for your cooperation.
 
The Yard Committee   From the yard. Please remember that this is a very busy season in the yard. We are hauling very large boats In some very tight areas using some very large equipment . Please be reminded to park your vehicles so they will not impact the haul. Please remind your guests of the situation as well and if you think there might be an issue please leave your keys on the floor of your vehicle so we may move it. The Yard Committee
 
IF YOU ARE PLANNING ON HAULING AND STORING YOUR BOAT IN THE YARD, PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING RULES AND GUIDELINES. We have had an unusually large number of requests about storage this year and I wanted to get this out in order to answer many of the questions that are being asked about winter storage. Storage is basically on a first come first serve basis for SLIP HOLDERS. The Yardmaster or committee member will position all boats and trailers in the yard, not the hauler or boat owner. You must fill out a HAUL FORM prior to the haul and COMMUNICATE with the yardmaster or committee member. Failure to do so will result in a fine of 250.00$,per the yard rules. Yard rule 12 states that there is one boat and or one trailer per member for those of you with more than that number. If all of the slip holders requested storage we would not be able to accommodate everyone so I suggest the owners with the larger boats begin to consider hauling NOW. We need to haul larger boats first and the fill in with the trailer boats. Also remember that the water in the yard will be left on as long as the weather permits, as we all know that can change quickly here. So in closing the advantages of an early haul are an assured location in the yard, access to water, and better weather to wrap and winterize. Please treat the yard as if it were your own because it is. All boats should be free and clear of any debris stored under the boat. Thank you, The Yard Committee
