Info

Last month, we celebrated the official start of summer with a BANG! What a celebration it was. The Summer Solstice Celebration by far was one of the biggest events we have had. So many boats participated in the boat parade – one of the biggest the marina has experienced, and afterward, we all, including the kids, enjoyed the various landside activities. Many kudos go to S/C Tom Leweck, who conceptualized this event, and his committee for a job well done. Two of our biggest regattas of the year, Cal Cup and Cal Race Week, are now behind us. Both were a huge success thanks to Marylyn Hoenemeyer, chairman of Cal Cup, and Monica Antola and Mary Stuyvesant, chairmen of Cal Race Week, and of course, the PROs and the many race committee volunteers on and off the water. Many of the racers commented on our outstanding race management of both regattas and CYC’s fine hospitality. Thank you, gals, for your dedication and hard work. My special appreciation and thanks to Monica and Mary for involving the Juniors by giving From The Commodore Commodore Uta Leslie them the opportunity and experience to participate onboard some of the boats racing in the Cal Race Week Regatta. Speaking of Juniors, every Wednesday this month, plus the first Wednesday in August, we’ll have Juniors onboard various CYC boats racing in the Sunset Series. So far 14 Juniors have expressed a desire to participate. This will be a great experience, not only for the Juniors, but also the skippers. Who knows, the Juniors may even show the skippers some new racing tactics? I think we all agree that our monthly magazine, the Breeze, is one of the best of any yacht club’s publications. Our Editorin-Chief Paula Cameron, Managing Editor Vince Mattera, and Editorial Assistants Diane Adler and Steve Edwards deserve our appreciation and gratitude for putting together excellent issues month after month. We would love to hear from you what you like, or perhaps dislike about the Breeze. Any suggestions or ideas you may have as to content, articles that you are most interested in reading, articles that you would like to be included but are not at present, more or less coverage of our social events, more or less photos. Please send your comments and/or suggestions by email to me at cyc-commodore@ cycfleet.com and to Paula at paula.cameron @sbcglobal.net. This is your magazine; help us keep it the best, most interesting and informative publication. Enjoy your summer. I look forward to seeing you at our various events planned for this month. From The Manager By MICHELE UNDERWOOD Irecently had a phone call from a CYC member who stated that his membership was paid for several times over because of his use of reciprocal clubs. Whether you are cruising down the coast, or flying to another city, your membership at CYC gains you entrance to yacht clubs, city clubs and athletic clubs around the globe. When you do travel, it is best to check in with our Membership Representative, Claudia Moore, to get a letter of introduction and also check on dress codes, hours of operation, amenities, and available hotel rooms prior to departure. Having visited several yacht clubs over the years, I can attest to the warm welcome you receive 2/BREEZE JULY 2013 when they hear you are visiting from CYC. July is filled with events both on and off the water. We kick off the month with our annual Fourth of July Barbeque which is a family favorite. During the afternoon you can use the pool and paddle tennis courts or join the Power Fleet harbor dinghy cruise around the marina with a lunch stop at Killer Shrimp. The Barbeque starts at 5 p.m. and ends with the fireworks at 9 p.m. Over the weekend of the 12th, we have both the Newport Harbor cruise to Balboa Yacht Club and the King of Spain Regatta. For those cruising down to BYC, Jr. S/C David Collins has arranged a Mexican buffet for Friday night, an al fresco breakfast on the patio on Saturday, and a delicious steak and seafood dinner with a DJ and dancing Saturday evening. It is imperative that you sign up for this cruise by June 30, so we can send BYC our list of boats and give a count on meals. If you would like to drive down for part of the cruise, please make a reservation for the meal period you will be attending. The King of Spain Regatta, which invites Star sailors for two days of racing, will taking place at CYC. Regatta Chairman Sam Haythorn and the CYC race committee are sure to put on a great event. During the last week of the month there are several activities to choose among. The Power Fleet will be hosting the Junior Blind for their annual Fishing Trip. All CYC members are invited to join in pairing with a Junior Blind fisherman for a morning of fishing on a commercial fishing boat. It is an experience you won’t forget. Contact George Etter if you have interest in participating. The second Pool Cocktail Party and Kids movie night is slated for Friday the 26th, followed by the Power Fleet Dinner Dance, themed “Margaritaville,” on the 27th. With a live steel band, island food and specialty drinks, a build-your-own-margarita bar and music by parrot head DJ Scott Jarema, this is sure to be a great party. For families planning to attend the Family Cruise this summer, the dates have been changed to accommodate the USODA Pacific Coast Championships. The new date is August 2-4, so grab the kids and plan on cruising over to the Isthmus for a weekend of family fun. Cruise Chairman Mike Shocklee has promised good weather and lots of activities, so give the front desk a call and make your reservation. See you ‘round the Club!
