Notes from the Vice Commodore P our club. We had a nice end to the month of September. Thanks to Diane Boesel,Pat and Steve"Beer Master"Sangster for all their help making Oktoberfest a successful event. It was fun spending time with our neighbors across the creek at PMI . Thanks to everyone that came over to support our Commodore and October is another busy month we begin with our second Cradle Day on October 8th @9am. Then on October 15th is Secretary’s Corner Hello PYC members, Please welcome new members Amy and Scott Boesel. This brings our membership to 84 voting, 6 non-voting, 0 social and 2 PMI reciprocal members. On September 20 I phoned into the International St. Lawrence Board of Control teleconference. The Board is expecting Lake Ontario water level to drop slightly below average through the Fall (see graph). The ISLRBC indicated that the IJC was on schedule to release a new regularity plan by the end of the year and hold public hearings next Spring. I will keep you posted as I receive more information. You can see the entire ISLRBC presentation at http:// ijc.org./conseil_board/islrbc/en/activities.htm. our second Haul Out@7am. Let's hope the weather is as nice as it was for first Haul Out. October 22nd is Fleet Captain Work day. See Jon's article for more information. Please save the date. Saturday November 5th @6pm @ Jack's Place in Durand Eastman Park, our Fall Banquet.. It is a beautiful place with plenty of room for all to come. Sure to be an enjoyable evening with great food and great friends. See attached flyer. Enjoy the rest of the season. See you at the club. Kathy On September 23 Ron Hilgert and myself meet with a representative of RG&E and NYSEG for an energy review. I want to thank Dave Weagley and Russ Palum for taking time to come to the Club for the first meeting which did not occur, due to a schedule conflict. We came away from the meeting with a few lighting change suggestions but not much else. We will share these with the rest of the Executive Committee to see if we can save some money on our electrical bills as we make improvements around the Club. Last, for those members who could not attend the September general meeting, Please congratulate our new Vice Commodore, Nancy Gong; Rear Commodore, Mark Laffin; and Treasurer, Pamela Bray. Also I want to second Commodore Larry Rice’s invitation that everyone come join us at this year’s Fall Banquet. It should be a great time for everyone and a wonderful way to wrap up the season.

Notes from the Sail Bag It’s that time of year again when we start putting away our boats, and unless you have a cruise to a warmer location planned this fall or winter saying goodbye to summer activities for a while. P stand or walk under the lifting frame or a boat this being hauled, and where appropriate WEAR your hard hat.. The next event on the calendar is our second haul, scheduled for Saturday October 15 th . We will start at 7:00 AM sharp and hopefully will be able to complete the haul in one day. In preparation for the haul on the 15 th we will be moving and placing all of the remaining cradles on Saturday October 8 th at 9:00, and after they have been placed we will move the remaining picnic tables from the pavilion and install the remaining set of mast racks. Once haul is competed for the year we still need to remove the floating docks. This activity is scheduled for the Saturday after second haul: October 22nd. This date coincides with the Fleet Captains Workday so there will be lots to do for everyone that day and Jon and I can use all the help we can get. Just be there at 9:00 when we start. We hauled15 boats during early haul, and while this is always the slower and more difficult of the two hauls we did encounter a delay getting started. While the crane was delivered on Thursday the counterweights were not installed and the crane was not ready to lift boats until 9:00. While this delay is something we can live with during early haul it is not acceptable for our second haul. I will be talking the situation over with Clark Rigging to ensure we do not see this type of delay in October. For those members who were on time ready to go at 8:00 I apologize for the delay. We were fortunate in that we did not incur any injuries this year. But I still want to remind everyone to get help when taking on a task involving any rigging, don’t The list of assignments for the second haul is included in this month’s issue. Please check your assignment and shift and be there ready to go to work by the designated start time. Please check that you are on the list if you are hauling on October 15 th , and remember that your job ends when all the boats are hauled, the equipment is stored; not when your boat is hauled or when the crane is finished, please do your part to help complete the day. Also please remember that we may need you to move your boat from your current dock to a slip closer to the crane to be hauled to facilitate the most efficient use of the crane. If you can’t or will not move your boat it is possible that we may not be able to haul you. So please think about this if you winterize your boat prior Lake Soundings Oct 2011
