RICHARD (RICK) EYTEL<br />
The Fourth of July Picnic was a<br />
success from the <strong>River</strong> Race, junior activities,<br />
food, to enjoying the pool. Alison<br />
Boland and Lisa Bonevento put together a<br />
festive afternoon. Tom Glowacki bought<br />
the food, started preparing the food at<br />
8:00 am, and left before most of you arrived<br />
after he was sure everything was<br />
going well. Tom has been doing this silently,<br />
without recognition, for probably<br />
close to 15 years. When you see him,<br />
thank him. If you don’t know who he is,<br />
he’s the big guy, probably in the galley,<br />
giving orders and yelling at his crew<br />
(usually Rick Haupt), but with a smile on<br />
his face. He really enjoys cooking for the<br />
<strong>Club</strong>, and has fun doing it.<br />
Powder Puff was also a big success.<br />
The sailing, enthusiastic look on<br />
sailor’s faces, and the fun they had at<br />
awards makes the effort worth it every<br />
year. If the weather for the picnic was<br />
one of the ten best days of the year, this<br />
was one of the top three days. Did you<br />
order that Karen? I always found it amazing<br />
that 250+ boats can be launched and<br />
then get to the right place at the right<br />
time. This regatta takes a monumental<br />
effort. Thank you to all for your valuable<br />
time. I know for a fact that Karen Haupt<br />
devoted months and countless hours to<br />
this regatta, and it shows. Over 80 volunteers<br />
moved like a well-oiled machine,<br />
with the help of Mary Ellen Butryn and<br />
Jennifer Alldian. Vivian Dooren, the<br />
founder and still a major volunteer,<br />
should take great pride in the growth of<br />
this regatta. The Race Committee was<br />
fantastic headed by the general PRO, Bob<br />
Reago, the other PROs were Chris<br />
Petracco, John Cutting, and Mimi Dimon.<br />
Jack Heacock put the race results together.<br />
Lastly, thanks to our sponsors and<br />
those who donated raffle<br />
gifts: Mary Holder,<br />
the Whitman family,<br />
the Kardek family, and<br />
30 other members who<br />
donated. . The pink racing marks were a<br />
great touch, and were donated by Vineyard<br />
Vines.<br />
One of the most rewarding<br />
things I see is the level of volunteering<br />
that goes on here. I am especially impressed<br />
with the willingness of the new<br />
members to jump in and put in their<br />
time. Volunteering makes the <strong>Metedeconk</strong><br />
<strong>River</strong> <strong>Yacht</strong> <strong>Club</strong> your club, and<br />
you are not just a member of a club.<br />
Speaking of volunteers, Anne<br />
Ruggiero has gotten the Junior Sailing<br />
and Swimming programs off to a fantastic<br />
start. We have record numbers,<br />
which require major organizational<br />
skills, to get them all where they are<br />
supposed to be, and on time. We have a<br />
great group of instructors and coaches.<br />
Odette Kardek and her committee have<br />
put together a fun packed, and competitive<br />
swimming program. A good job by<br />
all. Our Junior Program is the best on<br />
the bay.<br />
Congratulations to Dave Alldian<br />
and the crew of Cymothoe* for<br />
finishing third at Block Island Race<br />
Week. This was actually a great finish<br />
considering they were in position to<br />
compete for 1 st place, when they were<br />
tossed from a race in the protest room<br />
and received a DSQ. To come back<br />
from such a blow in mid race week is a<br />
testament to the competitive nature of<br />
MRYC sailors. Dave and the crew feel<br />
the protest was erroneous, and there was<br />
no foul. Cymothoe will also be representing<br />
my fleet in the <strong>Club</strong> Championship.<br />
Don’t foul anybody Dave. In fact<br />
don’t even look at anybody funny. .<br />
This month I will leave my<br />
crew alone. I beat them up too much the<br />
last few months, so I will pick on someone<br />
else. So who is left? My wife of<br />
course! Anne-Marie has been editing my<br />
articles every month, as I have gotten into<br />
trouble in the past for being politically<br />
incorrect. She exclaims, “You Can’t Say<br />
That,” and draws a red line through it. I<br />
think my last article will contain everything<br />
she edited out, and not let her see it.<br />
Kind of like the outtakes from movies.<br />
So everything is fair game. It will be<br />
open season.<br />
One of the funnier things that<br />
happened recently was to my daughter,<br />
Caitlin. As many of you know she lives<br />
and works in Key West. It is tough to<br />
rationalize her being in Key West. On<br />
one hand we miss her, and on the other<br />
hand we envy her, and are jealous. Back<br />
to the story. She got into a fender bender<br />
of an accident and met 6 guys from Charlotte,<br />
NC. They were not part of the accident,<br />
but came out of the house to watch<br />
the tall blond girl go Jersey on the other<br />
driver. She calms down, and they invite<br />
her out for a drink later in the evening.<br />
Caitlin and a friend join up with them at<br />
one of the many watering holes in Key<br />
West later the same night. Through polite<br />
conversation she finds out their occupations,<br />
and one of them said he was a<br />
driver. I’m sure she thought he either<br />
drives people to the airport, or drives a<br />
truck. A few hours go by (she hasn’t<br />
bought a drink yet by the way) and she<br />
notices one of them keeps on signing<br />
autographs for strangers during the evening.<br />
So she asks what’s up, and is told<br />
that the guy she thought was a truck<br />
driver was Dale Earnhardt Jr, the famous<br />
NASCAR driver. The joke of the evening<br />
was of my daughter’s horrendous highspeed<br />
accident (less than $100 damage).<br />
After telling me the story, I gave my permission<br />
to marry him, and since then I<br />
have been following the career of my<br />
potential future son-in-law. Maybe I’ll<br />
give him some racing tips.<br />

Vice Commodore Report<br />
As of this writing the summer is<br />
in full swing and we just finished up the<br />
Fourth of July weekend. My special<br />
thanks go out to the tireless volunteers<br />
that make our <strong>Club</strong> run so smoothly.<br />
Sometimes I wonder how an event will<br />
get pulled off and before you know it a<br />
team of volunteers swoop in, there’s a<br />
flurry of activity, and bingo- there it is! It<br />
looks easy but it’s not and we all appreciate<br />
the hard work and time spent doing it.<br />
My special thanks go out the Junior Social<br />
Committee headed by Lisa<br />
Bonavento and Alison Boland for not<br />
only the Fourth of July picnic but all the<br />
other junior socials. The kids are having a<br />
JODY LUTZ<br />
wonderful time. Also behind the scenes<br />
and not really thought about too much is<br />
Tom Glowacki. Year to year Tom volunteers<br />
to purchase food for all the junior<br />
social events and his expertise and<br />
stocking the refrigerator does not go<br />
unnoticed. Thanks Tom.<br />
Our sail and swim teams are off<br />
to a great start with special thanks going<br />
to Anne Ruggiero and Odette Kardek for<br />
their dedication to both programs.<br />
Please mark on your calendars the Junior<br />
Awards night on Friday, August 21 st . It’s<br />
a great night to come out and celebrate<br />
all the hard work the kids put in during<br />
the season. Immediately after the ceremony,<br />
we have an “after party” at the<br />
pool including food, drink, and the premiere<br />
of the “Summer of 2009” Junior<br />
highlight video. It will be a fantastic<br />
night to end the club’s Junior sailing and<br />
swimming season.<br />
Our blockbuster summer social<br />
is fast approaching and if you have never<br />
been to a Lobster Bash, I can only suggest<br />
you get your reservations in fast. Since<br />
we have a lot of new members this year,<br />
I’m expecting a big turnout for “first timers”.<br />
There are still some Friday Night<br />
Dinner dates left. If you would like to<br />
volunteer, please contact Teri Gelenitis.<br />
The club continues to be available to club<br />
members for private rentals. If you are<br />
interested in a date this Fall, contact<br />
Colette Commisso.<br />
Commodore’s Log<br />
(Continued from page 1)<br />
Our membership is full, and we<br />
are now working on the waiting list for<br />
next year. Please bring prospective members<br />
to the <strong>Club</strong>. Have them as your<br />
guest at a social, Friday Night Dinner, at a<br />
Junior sailing event, a swim meet, or one<br />
of our sailing evenings. It is a lot easier<br />
to see our club in action, rather than trying<br />
to explain it to someone in the middle<br />
of the winter.<br />
See you at LOBSTER BASH.<br />
This is an event you should not miss. For<br />
all of you new members, it embodies the<br />
essence of the party attitude of this <strong>Club</strong>.<br />
Come hungry and thirsty. This social<br />
event was brought out of retirement as a<br />
favor for me. The Bionic Man, Rick<br />
Haupt, should be well enough to be back<br />
at the helm for this event. Two new hips,<br />
a new rod in his back, a stent in an artery<br />
and ………..He’s back.<br />

Galley Report – Fran Lynn – Chairperson<br />
– Running smooth. Please observe no<br />
children in the galley.<br />
Pool Report – Pete Zanowic – Chairperson<br />
- Hours are 11 am – 8 pm June 20<br />
– September 7, 2009. The club purchased<br />
new furniture and it was delivered (five<br />
club chairs and five chaise lounge chairs).<br />
A team of volunteers Ed, Pat Maritz, Rich<br />
Robinson and Brenda Feniello assisted<br />
with the club’s older swim lane lines –<br />
yellow poly line was installed and knots<br />
were added to the line so the floats stay in<br />
place. The inside of the pool house has<br />
been painted. The pool committee is trying<br />
to keep the pool neat. Please make<br />
sure that you take home everything that<br />
you bring each day. I washed, dried and<br />
folded two loads of “lost and found” laundry<br />
July 7, 2009 at home. The “lost and<br />
found” laundry was brought back to the<br />
club July 8, 2009 and given to Odette<br />
Kardek. Check with Odette if you are<br />
missing towels or clothing.<br />
Observe the recycling garbage<br />
July has been great for sailing. Hopefully<br />
August will be the same. Our second<br />
auxiliary series has started and has<br />
been well attended. The racing has been<br />
exciting and close. I would like to thank<br />
all those who have participated thus far.<br />
As I spend more and more time at the<br />
<strong>Club</strong>,it becomes more apparent how busy<br />
our <strong>Club</strong> really is. There isn’t one night<br />
that something is not happening. If you<br />

Please be courteous to our membership<br />
and pick up all garbage and place it in<br />
the proper receptacle. No glass in the<br />
pool area and do not throw the stones.<br />
Hoist – Jim Carson – Chairperson -<br />
The club has the motor from davit # 1 at<br />
Lakewood Electric for repair. A team of<br />
volunteers (Chris Hall, Brian Schmidt,<br />
Keith Taboada, Ryan Stagaard, and Jim<br />
Carson) assisted with taking the motor<br />
down and replacing it with a back up<br />
motor dated 1973. The 1973 motor is<br />
noisy but serves the purpose.<br />
Parking - Two new Handicapped Parking<br />
signs/spaces were added next to the<br />
new Opti Racks. Please observe children<br />
on property, drive slowly and park in<br />
designated parking spots.<br />
Bar Closet – Brian Schmidt recommended<br />
having the stereo accessible<br />
from the bar area. He and Adam (coworker)<br />
spent a day building a box shelf<br />
for the stereo/DVD equipment inside the<br />
closet that you can access from behind<br />
FROM THE TOP OF THE MAST<br />
A NOTE FROM THE FLEET CAPTAIN :<br />
RICK POKORNY<br />
haven’t stopped by, you should. It is a<br />
great place to spend time with friends<br />
and maybe even make new ones.<br />
My job this year includes many<br />
things. Slips (wet and dry) club boat<br />
maintenance, patrols, etc. We have sail<br />
boat racing on Tuesday nights, Wednesday<br />
nights, Thursday nights and Sunday<br />
afternoons. Most of these nights need<br />
patrol. I am asking all new members to<br />
the Penquin sail boat painting near the<br />
Raven picture. The bar closet is now<br />
functional with added shelves.<br />
Telephones – The <strong>Club</strong> has switched<br />
from Verizon to Comcast for our telephone,<br />
fax, internet and HD TV. Phones -<br />
You may dial out 911 only, but the<br />
phones do accept incoming calls.<br />
Elevator – the elevator is for handicapped<br />
members. Please do not play with<br />
the elevator.<br />
Flag Pole – Thanks to Sandy Holick,<br />
Claudia and Caroline Jacobs for volunteering<br />
to weed the <strong>Club</strong>’s flower bed<br />
around the flag pole.<br />
Crab Traps -Please do not set crab traps<br />
at the dock. Power boats and sail boats<br />
can become tangled in the line.<br />
Al Bogdziewicz is working with<br />
Mark Haupt and Kevin Bogert to keep our<br />
club pristine.<br />
Any suggestions or comments<br />
regarding the clubs property should be<br />
emailed to cjanbaier@msn.com.<br />
Volunteer and volunteer often!<br />

check their calendars and commit to patrolling<br />
on some of these nights. I have<br />
been provided a list of all those who said<br />
that they are interested in volunteering for<br />
this. You can give a call or sign up on the<br />
patrol board at the <strong>Club</strong>.<br />
I would like to thank all of those people<br />
who have already volunteered their<br />
time. The <strong>Club</strong> would not run without<br />
them. If you are at the <strong>Club</strong>, give them<br />
some thanks. It will go a long way…..<br />

Manasquan <strong>River</strong> YC Challenge Cup –<br />
Dedicated by the Commodore of the Manasquan<br />
<strong>River</strong> <strong>Yacht</strong> <strong>Club</strong> to foster offshore<br />
PHRF racing and to promote camaraderie<br />
between the Manasquan and <strong>Metedeconk</strong><br />
<strong>River</strong> <strong>Yacht</strong> <strong>Club</strong>s, the Challenge<br />
Cup was awarded to the <strong>Metedeconk</strong><br />
team at the inaugural event in 2008.<br />
The 2009 race was sailed in a dying easterly<br />
in lumpy seas on Sunday June 28.<br />
Despite the best efforts of the defending<br />
<strong>Metedeconk</strong> team of Rick Eytel’s Big<br />
Grin, Gary Puco’s Phoenix and Fritz<br />
Baier’s Ali-Cat, the Manasquan team redeemed<br />
itself after last year’s loss by winning<br />
the 12-mile marathon in 2009. Scuttlebutt<br />
has it that the <strong>Metedeconk</strong> team<br />
promptly shrugged off the loss and proceeded<br />
to win Manasquan’s post-race<br />
party.<br />
Fourth of July <strong>River</strong> Race – Ten boats,<br />
including one Sneakbox, a 420 and an<br />
auxiliary, made it to the starting line for<br />
the first running of the Fourth of July<br />
<strong>River</strong> Race on Sunday July 5. Originally<br />
sailed by the Sanderling fleet and subsequently<br />
the Sandpipers, the 2009 <strong>River</strong><br />
Race was opened to all classes and scored<br />
under the Portsmouth Yardstick. Conditions<br />
were challenging on the river as the<br />
fleet struggled to round the <strong>Club</strong>’s fixed<br />
racing barrels on a very light westerly<br />
breeze. Jason Lutz’ Lightning made the<br />
best of the drifter winning the event ahead<br />
of a second Lightning skippered by Dick<br />
Thomas. Craig Dooren took home the<br />
third-place trophy and the award for the<br />
best finish in the Sanderlings as did Adrienne<br />
Ferrie in the Sandpipers.<br />
Block Island Race Week – The 23rd<br />
running of the Storm Trysail <strong>Club</strong>’s<br />
Block Island Race Week took place June<br />
21 – 26. A persistent low-pressure system<br />
parked over New England the entire<br />
week brought foul weather but did nothing<br />
to dampen the spirit of the 1,500+<br />
participants. 153 IRC, PHRF and offshore<br />
one-design boats competed in seventeen<br />
classes, making it one of the largest<br />
big boat regattas in North America.<br />
Dave Alldian’s Cymothoe was the only<br />
<strong>Metedeconk</strong> boat to make this year’s<br />
trek to Block Island Sound. Accompanied<br />
by crewmembers David, Jr., Jim<br />
Aridas, Ron LaNeve, Eric Lehnes, Steve<br />
Lopez, John Schwind and Corey<br />
Wingerter, Dave sailed his Sabre 36 to a<br />
third place finish in PHRF Division III.<br />
Winning two of seven races and scoring<br />
a second in the wild Around the Island<br />
Race which saw multiple collisions, dismasting<br />
and withdrawals, the <strong>Metedeconk</strong><br />
team had to swallow a DSQ in the<br />
fifth race. The award for the best overall<br />
performance of the regatta was given to<br />
the winner of the J/105 class, Power<br />
Play, co skippered by Bruce Stone and<br />
Scott DeWeese of San Francisco.<br />
PHRF – The 2009 PHRF Championship<br />
Series wrapped up on July 7 with the<br />
scheduled nine races completed. After a<br />
soggy start in May and early June, the<br />
sun and warm breezes returned for the<br />
last weeks of racing. In the largest fleet,<br />
C Division, Bill Bogardus overcame a<br />
DNF midway through the series and won<br />
three of the last four races to take the<br />
overall win ahead of Gary Puco in second<br />
and Mark Connell in third. In B<br />
Division, Dave Alldian and crew scored<br />
no less than a second place in the eight<br />
races in which they competed to win<br />
their fleet championship. Jack Wood’s<br />
boat finished second overall just one<br />
point of Rick Eytel’s crew in the Big<br />
Grin. Jarrett Lynn’s J/24 won all six<br />
races in which the boat competed to take<br />
first overall in A Division. Brothers<br />
Dave and Alan Ruiter came in second<br />
and third respectively. Only two boats<br />

This article is written with a<br />
heavy heart due to the passing of Greg<br />
Arner, <strong>Club</strong> Architect, Sanderling sailor,<br />
golfer, good friend, and all around wonderful<br />
person. He will be sorely missed.<br />
Our best wishes go to Emi and the rest of<br />
the Arner family.<br />
As far as sailing goes, the Thursday<br />
evening championship series is attracting<br />
record numbers of boats. Eighteen<br />
(18) Sandpipers have registered and<br />
are racing as well as 9 Sanderlings. With<br />
4 races sailed to date Paul Gelenitis has a<br />
commanding lead in the Sandpiper fleet<br />
followed by Dan Hurley(MA24), Dave<br />
Alldian, and Janet Urbanowicz in 2 nd ,<br />
3 rd and 4 th , respectively. In the Sanderlings,<br />
John Cutting has a slim lead over<br />
Craig McLean and Len Dooren. However,<br />
with at least 4 races left, both series<br />
are still wide open.<br />
Sunday sailing still suffers from<br />
the motorboat traffic in the afternoon<br />
and only 2 Sanderlings and 5 Sandpipers<br />
are presently registered. In the Sanderlings,<br />
Glen Zimmermann won the only<br />
2 races held to date and in the Sandpipers,<br />
Mimi Dimon has a slim lead over<br />
Jim Gelenitis.<br />
Our Sandpipers continue to do<br />
very well in BBYRA competition. At<br />
present, with two racing days completed,<br />
Paul and Terri Gelenitis are tied for 2 nd<br />
and Mimi Dimon is a close 8 th . Fifteen<br />
boats have been racing. In the Sanderlings,<br />
high winds forced abandonment of<br />
one race and limited our participation in<br />
another. Bob Reago and Alan Papp are<br />
representing us. The largest catboat of<br />
all, Raven, won the last BBYRA race at<br />
Mantoloking and is near the top of the<br />
fleet.<br />
Not much else to report except<br />
that some of our members have been<br />
sneaking over to Forge Pond in an effort<br />
to get ready for the Biathlon on August<br />
21 st . Time to get those teams together and<br />
let Len Dooren know if you plan to participate.<br />
The traditional chipping contest<br />
starts on the front lawn at 9:00 A.M.<br />
Other events to note are the beginning<br />
of the Sanderling/Sandpiper Mini<br />
Series on August 13, the Skipper Mate<br />
race on September 3, and the Night Race<br />
on September 11. Check the club book for<br />
times.<br />

Congratulations to Vice Commodore<br />
Jody Lutz for repeating as District<br />
Champion in a wild regatta sailed in the<br />
ocean off Ocean City in mid-July. This<br />
was the first Central Atlantic District<br />
Championship to be open to all Lightning<br />
Class sailors. Four out-of-District crews<br />
helped swell the ranks to 33 boats, far<br />
larger than any recent Districts Neighboring<br />
District boats actually copped three of<br />
the four top spots dropping Jody to third<br />
overall. District runner-up was our Keith<br />
Taboada (5 th overall). Ocean City has<br />
little choice of sailing venue with nearby<br />
waters crowded with pleasure craft and<br />
the traditional back bay site inadequate in<br />
size to support a regatta of this nature.<br />
While the tow to and from the waters off<br />
Margate is long and rough (big tidal flow<br />
against ocean swells) once there the<br />
venue provides super sailing conditions.<br />
Saturday’s races were sailed in a building<br />
southerly that topped off with gusts well<br />
into the 20 knot range. Our George Francis<br />
and Ocean City’s John Parker decided<br />
to sail upside down precipitating a bizarre<br />
“rescue” by the US Coast Guard<br />
complete with helicopter and swimmers.<br />
If you want details, ask George. Complete<br />
results are on the ILCA website<br />
www.lightningclass.org.<br />
Other July regattas were the<br />
States at Barnegat Light and the Atlantic<br />
Coast Championship at Toms <strong>River</strong>. The<br />
latter is prep for the 2010 North Americans<br />
scheduled to be sailed on the Cedar<br />
Creek course next August. See the Lightning<br />
Class website for results.<br />
Coming up this month are the<br />
Junior North Americans, qualifier for the<br />
Youth Worlds in Salinas Ecuador in<br />
2010 and the Womens and Masters<br />
North Americans and the North American<br />
Championship. All these events will<br />
be sailed on Lake Ontario off Sodus Bay<br />
about 30 miles east of Rochester NY and<br />
all can be followed on the ILCA website<br />
starting August 5.<br />
As previously noted, <strong>Metedeconk</strong><br />
will be represented by Vice Commodor<br />
Jody Lutz in the Lightning World<br />
Championship at Mallets Bay, Vermont<br />
in early September. Sixty plus boats are<br />
expected. Former MRYC member Billy<br />
Bogardus also qualified.<br />
Locally, four Fleet Lightnings<br />
have a shot at winning the BBYRA<br />
Championship with races scheduled each<br />
Saturday starting August 15 at Normandy<br />
Beach. Results so far are too sketchy to be<br />
meaningful. See the BBYRA website<br />
www.bbyra.org for results.<br />
The Junior Championship, sailed<br />
in Lightnings, swill take place at 3:00 pm<br />
on August 16. Conditions permitting sailing<br />
will take place in front of the <strong>Club</strong>.<br />
Should be fun to watch.<br />
We all wish Fleet Member Jay<br />
Lutz a speedy recovery and return to sailing!<br />

Women’s Wet Wednesdays (WWW)<br />
If you haven’t made it to<br />
Women’s Wet Wednesdays this season,<br />
it’s not too late to join us!!! July has provided<br />
us with some great wind and<br />
weather. We’ve seen a lot of new sailors<br />
join the fun as we spend the evening racing<br />
and improving skills.<br />
The WWW Powder Puff Championships<br />
begin Wednesday August 5.<br />
Additional races will be held on August<br />
12 and 19 (August 26 is make-up night in<br />
case of bad weather/free sailing.) The<br />
plan is to race two races on August 5 and<br />
12 with one race on August 19. Boats<br />
need to be rigged and registered by 6:00<br />
pm and there will be a brief skipper’s<br />
meeting. Awards will be presented at<br />
the club awards ceremony in the fall.<br />
All of the sailing is followed by<br />
delicious meals and lots of laughs. Even<br />
if you can’t make all of the race nights,<br />
it’s not too late for you to bring your<br />
Sunfish and join us for a few. If you<br />
have any questions, just call Nancy Kelly<br />

AUXILIARY FLEET NEWS<br />
This year the Auxiliary is hosting<br />
the Labor Day Picnic. It is a great<br />
finale to our summer season. Everyone’s<br />
help makes it a success. Our Down Bay<br />
Race is scheduled for Sept. 19. We had a<br />
record number of participants last year<br />
and hope to top that number in September.<br />
The raft up after the race is one of<br />
the highlights. Be part of this Great<br />
MRYC Tradition.<br />
I will be posting a sign-up sheet<br />
on the bulletin board of the clubhouse and<br />
at the pool, for the Labor Day picnic.<br />
Please let me know if you have a particular<br />
interest. We hope to have record<br />
participation for these three events.<br />
The Coast Guard Auxiliary is<br />
willing to safety inspect your boat. They<br />
could do as many boats as we wanted on<br />
a specific date, and time. There is no<br />
cost, very little anxiety, and at best informative.<br />
Please let me know if you have<br />
any interest. Rick Eytel has had his boat<br />
inspected and said it was a worthwhile<br />
experience.<br />
Derivation: Pipe Down. Naval ships orders<br />
are given by notes piped on a whistle.<br />
“Pipe down” is the last pipe of the<br />
day. The term is also used to when you<br />
want someone to stop talking.<br />

News<br />
The Mermates are having a great summer.<br />
We kicked it off with our Father’s Day<br />
Brunch which was a huge success. We served<br />
over 180 and do not believe anyone went home<br />
hungry. Many thanks to all who helped, especially<br />
our shopper, Karen Banias, prep cooks,<br />
Colleen Van Pell, Chris Hudson, Caroline Skierski,<br />
Lisa Brennan and Ann Doonan, and Sunday<br />
cooks, Lisa & Don Brennan and Chris and<br />
Eric Hudson. Fran Lynn gets an extra special<br />
thanks for helping all three days. Many others<br />
contributed their time to make this a very special<br />
event, thank you so much.<br />
As I am writing this many club members<br />
are tuning up their acts for “<strong>Metedeconk</strong>’s<br />
Got Talent”. Patty Mroczko has put in endless<br />
hours on this and I’m sure it will be the most<br />
entertaining night of the summer. Who will<br />
win the coveted “Conk” award? I will report<br />
the details next month.<br />
The Mermates are also planning the<br />
annual luncheon to be held August 10 at the<br />
<strong>Club</strong>. This will be a fashion show and gift auc-<br />
<strong>Smoke</strong> <strong>Signals</strong><br />
tion with a fabulous lunch<br />
by those great cooks Fran<br />
Lynn and Lisa Brennan.<br />
Terri Cerrito has been<br />
working with Tangerine<br />
Boutique of Bay Head to<br />
show us the latest fashions.<br />
Reservations are a must, so<br />
please contact Ann Doonan<br />
for your reservation. Gift baskets will be<br />
collected by Elaine Salto. This is a major<br />
fund raiser for the Mermates, so we hope<br />
to see you all there.<br />
As I write this column, I thank so<br />
many who contribute their time to the Mermates,<br />
but there are many more who give<br />
an hour here or there. Some collect money<br />
at the door of functions, or help out at the<br />
Ships Store, etc. Everyone who helps is<br />
greatly appreciated by the Mermate Officers.<br />
It is also interesting to note that<br />
many who help us are also involved in<br />
other areas of the club, such as Juniors or<br />
Race Committee. This is a volunteer club<br />
and by helping out you will find so much<br />
value in your membership, not to mention<br />
making great new friends. If you would<br />
like to become more involved in the Mermates,<br />
please contact me at frandockery@comcast.net.<br />

we would appreciate it. Also, all<br />
gear should always be kept on the North<br />
side of the club (water side).<br />
Thanks and happy sailing!!<br />

26 TH AUAL JR. POWDER PUFF A PERFECT 10!<br />
PIK IS’T JUST<br />
A COLOR…<br />
IT’S A ATTITUDE!<br />
This was the theme for the<br />
26 th Annual Junior Powder Puff<br />
Regatta and the sailors proved just<br />
that! We had a perfect day – a 10+<br />
with just enough sun, wind, and 250<br />
enthusiastic sailors! We saw plenty<br />
of pink that day and nothing but<br />
great attitudes to go along with it!!<br />
250 young ladies sailed out of<br />
our <strong>Club</strong> after being treated to a scrumptious<br />
breakfast, coming back in for a great<br />
lunch and goodies afterwards. Who could<br />
ask for more? They did and they got just<br />
that….they received terrific race committee<br />
work, enough patrols to keep them<br />
safe and lots of encouragement. Of<br />
course, the annual Goodie Bags donated<br />
by Mary Holder/Mary Zanowic with all<br />
the “stuff” is always a highlight. This<br />
year we were fortunate enough to add the<br />
new Barrel Bags donated by the Whitman<br />
Family to go along with the Powder Puff<br />
Bag. It wouldn’t be the Powder Puff<br />
without the traditional bears and this year<br />
was no exception. Karen Haupt made<br />
sure each participant received a white<br />
bear in a PINK outfit and the winners also<br />
received the traditional bears as well.<br />
Chairperson Karen Haupt pulled<br />
off another successful regatta with her<br />
attention to awards, raffles, and the daunting<br />
task of registration – we turned away<br />
30 sailors— safety first. I’m sure these<br />
girls won’t wait ‘till the last minute next<br />
year – so <strong>Metedeconk</strong> sailors – be sure to<br />
get your registration in EARLY. Hats off<br />
to Mary Ellen Butryn and the galley crew<br />
who worked hard all day getting the sailors,<br />
instructors, parents and all the patrols<br />
and race committee fed and hydrated all<br />
day long. Jennifer Alldian, Jack Heacock<br />
also had a major roll in the success along<br />
with the Regatta Committee and many<br />
race committee volunteers.<br />
To the 80+ volunteers – THANK<br />
YOU. We couldn’t do this regatta without<br />
your assistance. To our Head PRO –<br />
Bob Reago, Opti PRO – Chris Petracco,<br />
Opti Green PRO – Mimi Dimon and 420,<br />
Sunfish and Laser PRO – John Cutting,<br />
Tom Sollas - Judge – congratulations<br />
again on providing our young ladies with a<br />
great day of sailing. Getting in four races<br />
and allowing a throw out is a wonderful<br />
way to show our Racing Management<br />
Skills to the rest of the bay. We will try<br />
again to win the coveted BBYRA Race<br />
Management Award.<br />
To all those to assisted in any<br />
way, directing traffic, launching boats, to<br />
the Sandpiper Fleet for moving all their<br />
boats to give us room in the dry slip area,<br />
to those who donated to the raffle tables<br />
and most especially to Commodore & First<br />
Lady Eytel for donating the first ever Commodore’s<br />
prize – an iPod Touch, the<br />
Kardeks for donating the fantastic Sail of<br />
Choice and to the Committee for once<br />
again providing the PINK Bike. These top<br />
prizes along with 40 others made for a terrific<br />
afternoon.<br />
Our sailors had team shirts made<br />
up and it brought tears to my eyes when I<br />
looked out and saw just how many other<br />
yacht clubs had their girls in team shirts<br />
with the words Jr. Powder Puff on them.<br />
Winning the Best MCYC Sailor<br />
Award was Abby Kardek for coming in 4 th<br />
out of 54 boats.
Volume 29 Issue 7<br />
POWDER PUFF<br />
Gillian Francis won the Marion Freeth<br />
Sportsmanship Award. Congratulations to<br />
both of these young ladies for a job well<br />
done. Many of our girls did well and all<br />
the results can be found on our website<br />
along with the BBYRA website.<br />
This day has for years now far<br />
surpassed anything I could have dreamed<br />
of 26 years ago. So remember….<br />
PIK IS’T JUST<br />
A COLOR……<br />
IT’S A ATTITUDE!<br />
Thank you all for making this<br />
day so successful–<br />
