COMMODORES MESSAGE

Greetings from the Commodore’s Corner

It’s June already!! Although you’d never know this by the heavy coats and gloves that we all have to wear… However; the Commodore’s Cruise to Poulsbo was an excellent weekend full of warm sunshine, laughter and club spirit.

Honestly, I worked myself up to the event! My stomach was in knots, I couldn’t sleep, I was “A Wreck”… Anticipating what exciting things would be in store for me over the weekend was almost more then I could handle!!! I almost had to resort to drinking. Yikes!!

For those of you, who were not able to attend, let me give you just a small glimpse of what you may have missed… Breakfast was served to Steve who enjoyed a delicious meal provided by our many past commodores… it was a great treat!!

While Steve ate his glorious meal, I was pampered with a make-over (I think it was intended that I look like Mimi from the Drew Carey Show? (Picture of Mimi attached) you check the resemblance!!! Sharon Jobin assisted with make-up, Phyllis assisted with lashes and hair style.

(Me on the Left, in case you didn’t know!!!! HA)

My hospital background did not come in handy as I had to “operate” on a poor blow-up gentleman lying on the table, having to remove bodily parts (some which actually looked quite real) and the mush and gush that was inside the creature was enough to make any stomach churn! I know mine did.

All in all – everyone was very gentle on me – which I truly appreciated. I was even surprised later in the day with (putting it mildly)… quite a saleswomen’s show later in the evening. VERY eventful to say the least!

I want to first off Thank Junior Past Commodore Tim Anderson and Tammy for putting the function together, along with the many Past Commodores who contributed time and effort to ensure that the weekend’s events were fun and exciting. And I would like to thank everyone who took the time either by boat and/or car who came to enjoy the club, the fun and the excitement of me being made a fool of… HA!

That’s My Vice

I want to thank everyone who helped make Casino Night happen. It was a great success and fun was had by all. The Kingston Cove Yacht Club was the perfect location to protect our Carling Bucks from the wind and rain. Thank you for supporting CYC.

Although we weren’t able to attend the Commodore’s Cruise by boat, we were able to be on the dock and watch as Commodore Pam was (honored) by our Past Commodores.

Sherri and I have been focusing on our son’s graduation and imminent departure on June 22^ndto Army Boot Camp. We are very proud of him and his commitment to serve his country. With this behind us, and until we travel to Ft. Benning sometime in August for parents weekend, we are looking forward to some relaxation, boating and dry skies for the Fourth of July anchor out. Hope to see you there.

The annual Carling Poker Run is coming up in August, immediately following the San Juan Cruise. Based on feedback from members, the Poker Run will be held at Arabella’s on June 14^thasplanned. Please invite your family and friends to join us for the weekend or the day.

The menu for the July 13^th meeting will be a side dish potluck to accompany hamburgers and polish sausage provided by Sherri and me. There will be no charge for the meal, leaving you extra bucks for the raffle.

REAR COMMODORE’S REPORT

Wow, Finally a GREAT weekend for the Commodores Cruise. I even got a bit sunburned and so did a few other people. Great job Tim and Tammy for going easy on the poor STRESSED out girl. I'm going to keep this report short.

Don't forget the massive 4th of July wagon wheel coming up in Burton Bay. This event hosted by Dan & Connie and Steve & Pam. Hopefully the weather will hold out??

Also it was decided by all (not just your Rear Commodore) that the Labor Day Cruise be held at Port Orchard!!! Still need a chair person for this cruise.

The Poker run is Aug 14th at Arabella's.

See Ya on the water,

DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY

Coast Guard

33 CFR Part 165

[Docket No. USCG–2009–1057]

RIN 1625–AA87

Security Zone; Escorted U.S. Navy Submarines in Sector Seattle Captain of the Port Zone

AGENCY: Coast Guard, DHS.

ACTION: Interim rule with request for comments.

SUMMARY: The Coast Guard is establishing a moving security zone around any U.S. Navy submarine that is operating in the Sector Seattle Captain of the Port Zone, which includes the Puget Sound and coastal waters of the State of Washington, and is being escorted by the Coast Guard. The security zone is necessary to help ensure the security of the submarines, their Coast Guard security escorts, and the maritime public in general. The security zone will do so by prohibiting all persons and vessels from coming within 1,000 yards of an escorted submarine unless authorized by the Coast Guard patrol commander.

DATES: This rule is effective January 13, 2010. Comments and related material must reach the Coast Guard on or before April 13, 2010. Requests for public meetings must be received by the Coast Guard on or before February 12, 2010.

This was received via Jerry Rudd, (2009 International President of IOBG), from Chuck Gould, (Nor'Western Mag.) and Dave Kutz, (Past President of RBAW). We all need to be aware of "Puget Soundkeeper's Alliance's" actions.

Subject: Puget Soundkeeper's Alliance has gone postal, threatening Recreational Boating

Hello,

Puget Soundkeeper's Alliance has notified five area boatyards of "Intention to Bring Lawsuit".

The PSA claims that copper runoff from the yards exceeds standards permitted under the master use permit- while at the same time there are boatyards that do *no* copper based bottom painting (one that comes to mind doesn't service any boats out of the water) that cannot meet the copper runoff requirements.

Much of the copper runoff is more directly associated with normal wear of automotive brake pads and clutches than it is with bottom painting or other boatyard practices.

None of the environmental enforcement agencies or environmental advocates, including the Puget Soundkeeper's Alliance, have never established a scientifically valid baseline. They have not bothered to compare the copper runoff from boatyards with the amount of copper that would run off if no boatyard existed in that location.

I met this afternoon with a spokeswoman associated with one of the boatyards. She was literally in tears as she showed me the legal complaint filed by Puget Soundkeeper's Alliance. The attorney's served the complaint a few days before Christmas, and gave the boatyards ten days to respond. Nice timing-

It's my opinion that the Puget Soundkeeper's Alliance agenda is to eliminate recreational boating, (kayakers, excepted, of course). This can be accomplished by dismantling the infrastructure upon which we boaters depend just as quickly as by outlawing the activity of boating itself.

Best regards,

Chuck Gould
