What a fantastic sunset on Thursday,

May 21 from the beach at PCYC. The
lake was dead calm, not a cloud in the
sky, and the setting sun glistened off the
mirrored lake. The night before we had a
tremendous isolated thunderstorm which
filled the pool, watered the new flowers,
and has caused the club grass to explode.
The Rear Commodore has kept a slew of
volunteers busy remodeling the mens
bathroom, repairing picnic tables, and
remodeling the bathrooms at the pool.
The Garden Committee has been hard at
work allowing the club blossom into
color. The shuffleboard court was
opened for the season by the Monday
night crew and the tennis court has been
busy. By the time you read this, our first
big, busy Memorial Day weekend will be
over and the club will be in full swing for
the summer season.
Please check your committee
assignment or assignments in the
yearbook or on the club website.
If you if have a conflict with the
schedule please find a substitute
so the committee is not left short
handed. You can always count
on your sponsor to help you out
I would hope! We always can
use extra help on the New Years
Eve committee December 31
and the Recognition Dinner in
January, 2015. The social calen-
dar runs from May 1
st
, 2014 to
April 30, 2015 which can be a bit
confusing. We are unable to print
the yearbook and make commit-
tee assignments until we review
your committee request form on
January 1
st
and finalize the club
calendar. The yearbook is
printed in April. Committee
Chairman Function reports
from previous years are available
from the club files at the club or
from the Social Committee.
Committee Report forms are
available from the Club website,
the bulletin board in the kitchen,
or the social committee.
If you see something around
the club that needs attention,
please relay that information to
the Caretaker, Facilities Manager,
Flag Officer, or Board members.
The more of us you tell the bet-
ter. This is the second year for
our trial pet policy change. The
current policy is posted on the
club bulletin boards and is not
published in the yearbook.
Did you notice: that club mem-
ber Gloria D has her cast off her
recently broken ankle and is al-
ready volunteering to mow the
grass , that the sail fleet has al-
ready run the years first Regatta
(Laser Qualifier), had their first
Auxiliary Race, and has contrib-
uted nicely to the bar sales, that
the pool and grounds look
great!!, that the water snakes are
already trying to find ways to
colonize your boats, and that
Mike H and Mike H need to
work on their fishing skills and
finally that it is not a good idea to
park behind or near the Commo-
dores truck.
Have a great June!!

June 2014
PCYC
Half of the year is almost
gone and summer is just
about in full bloom. Our
boaters are back in the
marina and our grounds
and green space are ready
for use by our members.
This year I have come to
realize that it takes a lot
of people to ready our
club for the summer sea-
son. From the docks to
the buildings and pool, I
cant begin to thank all
the people that have
helped with all the tasks.
I hope that all of you can
stop over and enjoy our
club. Anyone that hasnt
stopped by on a Saturday
morning has missed a
great time to socialize
with your fellow members
at our Bloody Mary Social
event. This weekly event
starts this weekend and
continues through Labor
Day.
The pool is on schedule
to open Memorial Day
weekend and you will no-
tice some changes. The
Pool committee, along
with John Henry Bolte
and Eric, have been
working hard to get it in
operating condition. The
restrooms have been
renovated with new ep-
oxy flooring and plastic
partitions. Chuck and
Eric took care of the
demo work and please
thank Bill Moon, Rock
Sherer, John Folger, PC
Geoff Bailey, Dave Ober-
gefell and Commodore
Mike for their help in in-
stalling the new partitions.
Soon we will add a three
compartment sink in the
pool kitchen to allow for
additional food and drink
service to our members.
You can expect that we
will utilize our pool for
more social events this
summer. We are always
looking for new ideas to
use our facilities for our
members.
Restrooms seem to be my
common theme for 2014.
Our club house mens
restroom project is com-
plete. Besides the floor
and partitions we added a
Dyson Hand dryer to the
restroom. It will save on
paper and cleanup. It will
dry your hands in 12 sec-
onds, so they say. Your
feedback on the hand
dryer would be appreci-
ated as we are contem-
plating installing one in
the womens restroom.
With all our talented
members it sure makes
my job as the RC easier.
If you have time to do-
nate, we will find some-
thing for you to do. Our
next project has not been
identified but we are
looking into upgrading
several items in the
kitchen such as silverware
and china. Your input is
always welcome, so please
let anyone on the board
or flag know what your
ideas are that would im-
prove our club.
What lucky people we are
as members. Our Club
and grounds is one of the
most beautiful places in
the Port Clinton area.
Just Remember This is
your club, use it and
have fun.

District 18 Area E Laser semi-final championships: The water was
cold but the sailing was hot! We had wonderful weather May 16-18
as PCYC once again hosted this laser event. Sailors from Chicago
and inland lakes in Ohio and Indiana were excited to race on the
open waters of Lake Erie. Our own local talent included Thomas
McRitchie and Tyler Brand.
Another reason the Laser class likes to race at PCYC is how well
we run the event. Thank you to Principal Race Officer (PRO) Dave
Nighswander for executing some great races. Other members and
volunteers that made this regatta successful were Marti Nighswan-
der, Jim and JJ Miller in the start boat; Mark Sprenger, Sara
Hanselman and Jasmin Jordan land finish boat;and Duane Schnei-
der, Tim Larcey, Ethan Taylor and Tony, the Brit Mark and Safety
Boats.
Special thanks to Mark Sprenger for his use of "ThinIce" and
"Center Ice" and Ed and Gwen Casey for the use of "Hedge Fun".
