[cid:image001.jpg@01DBF87F.0EC729B0] ______________________Commodore's Comments JULY 19, 2025______________________ Good morning~ What a beautiful summer morning, enjoy every moment. I've a few items to discuss with all of you. This weekend there will NOT be a formal attendant on duty. I'm asking the usual BOG members to stop by which many already do. My cell # is 860.391.7352, text or call with any questions etc. Sandy 860.395-7173 text, Dave Wemett and Jeff Going are also usually about. However, if there is an emergency ALWAYS call 911. Tonight there is a reservation for a dinner party on the deck at 6 p.m. The group has use of the Commodore's room, deck and grills . They may have 12-40 people. I have no desire to keep repeating something that by now should be engrained as part of summer behavior at PYC. So again: PLEASE do not allow your kids in the launch area when boats are launching and being retrieved. Not only kids,~ dogs and people of any age should not put themselves or others in harm's way. You only need to witness a boat quickly slipping and dropping off the hoist to perceive what could happen. And of course~ No dogs on the main deck...dogs allowed on south deck. So far so good. What we do need is your help. Many of you frequent PYC often during the week and weekends. There is a watering can in the ladies room (turquoise on top of the new locker) and men's room, aluminum. Water can be taken from the faucet near the shower. Areas to water: NORTH AREA: * In front of Commodore's room: RED GERANIUMS * Down the stairs same area: planter on your left (descending stairs) * "Shiny things" garden in the tree. I will be weeding this today. ( in front of dumpsters) * Garden beneath WELCOME SIGN OPTI SHED: * 2 window boxes ( filled with mint, lavender, strawberries etc) please pick MEMBER'S BOATS AND MOWING SCHEDULE: Will send this week. Jeff and Dave will send me the dates and times for members to come help move their boats so we may mow. I will send that to all. In the beginning of the season when we did not have many boats it was easier for the attendant and a few of us to just move and mow. Now, we're pretty much sardined in the member's boat area so let's all help. THANK YOU. If you see it do it... Roman Daniels, Chris Perry and many others have volunteered to weed whack, trim, clip etc. The more help in consistently keeping the weeds at bay, the easier on the eye and the back . Your help is so appreciated! PETTIPAUG 2025~ PJSA~ such a joy to hear the kids having a blast and the instructor's hanging out and the parents too~ enjoying this treasure of a club. It has been so warm and Amy, JB and the PJSA staff never complain, always smiles. Amazing commitment. The scows sail on Tuesdays and all fleets sail on Thursdays, but sailing is never limited at PYC. PJSA's schedule needs to be respected but great to see so many sunfish with their bright colored sails on the water. TO DATE: We have held Commissioning, The Commodore's Handicap Race, (3) ONE DESIGN (4) BLUE JAY RACES The Hawkin's Race, Sunfish Regatta, The Mid-Summer Race . ELEVEN sailing events! Each event was followed by a post- race party (thank you Dave Courant & Roz) and the New Member's Gathering. Compliments and gratitude to all of the race Committee members who give up their day to watch over others. Compliments always score better than complaints for most occasions. We always need RC members! Thank you to all who have been involved in many of the activities to date, it's a long list of volunteers.
