    Shipmates, with the mark to windward, we’ll be turning frequently in this month’s column. Ready about?

    Speaking of Opening Day, I missed it, but many of you were there. Who could ask for more than a wonderful celebration with great weather? Debbie, you did it! Thank you. My thanks also to all who helped, and to all who participated. Well done, my friends.

    Speaking of friendship, I’m sure you know that “The Admiral” had a collision in April and was drydocked for emergency repairs in Iceland. Her superstructure still needs some work, but we’ll have her shipshape in due course. Houlton and I were overwhelmed by the outpouring of support and sympathy we received from the club. We are

    truly blessed to have so

    many kind and generous friends.

    “Thank you”

    seems inadequate as an expression of our gratitude…

    Speaking of gratitude, your beloved Vice Commodore, Jess Schefstrom, filled in magnificently after I left him stranded high and dry. He’ll be known forever more as “The Closer”.

    GENERAL MEETING

    TUESDAY, JUNE 13, 2017

    Social @ 6:30PM, Program @ 7:00PM, Meeting @ 7:45PM

    "Local Boating Community Involvement in an Emergency".

    Speaker: John Crooks, EOC Supervisor Jefferson County Department Of Emergency Management

    Be sure to make our Tuesday, June 13th meeting, to learn more about Emergency Management.

    John will speak about local boaters becoming involved in Emergency Management efforts durning an incident.

    2017 PTYC Garage Sale Fundraiser for Marine Trade-Related Scholarships Update

    Proceeds Positively Impact Lives in our Community

    Yes folks, it’s not too early to be thinking of saving items NOW for this fall’s PTYC Garage Sale!! This is a perfect time to re-gift or hand down new or slightly used boat and household items, books, clothing, electronics, tools and some furnishings. Your donations can be just the “thing” our well attended garage sale goers are looking for. Our efforts in recent garage sales have resulted in record breaking total monies that fund our scholarships to local recipients.

    We will probably need as many volunteers as before, to ensure a

    successful event. So please keep in mind the various dates and

    shifts posted on line under EVENTS/SOCIALS or contact:

    [email protected] or 360-390-5620. Your donations and

    just a little bit of your time can make a real difference in local lives.

    NOTE: During the set-up work sessions, PTYC volunteers can purchase

    donated items once they have been priced.

    Volunteer—and don’t miss this advantageous opportunity !!!

    We are looking forward to the fun of working with everyone

    again this year to help raise money for our Scholarship Fund!

    Sincerely, Garage Sale Co-Coordinators Katie Habegger & Muriel Powers

    PLEASE NOTE: Unfortunately, Fire Codes prohibit PTYC attic space storage.

    2017 PTYC SCHOLARSHIP RECIPIENTS AT MAY MEETING

    On to business. The business of cruising, that is. There’s only one meeting left before we cast off for the summer! This year, your commodore can’t join you on the water, but I require all members to properly carry on. That means starting your engines, letting go and aiming for the

    horizon. Then, when the hook is down and you splice the main brace, pour a wee drop in the sea for he who is with you in spirit.

    Remember, the voyages we most regret are the ones we didn’t take. Embrace the journey, have a great summer, and be ready to lie about your adventures in the fall! You can’t control the wind, but you can adjust your sails. Commodore Duane Madinger

  • Legislative Update Of the three bills introduced by WA Dept. of Parks and Recreation and supported by RBAW, two of the three have been signed into law by Gov. Inslee: 1. Exempting buyers of flare guns to go through a weapons background check 2. Allowing law enforcement to impound vessels as a last resort if an operator is impaired and no other unimpaired person onboard is capable of taking control of the vessel.

    The third bill which would remove antiquated wording in the WA State Boater’s Education card law and redirect funds from issuing the Card to some state park projects died from lack of a House floor vote even though it passed the Senate. It has another year in the two year cycle to be brought back to the House floor for a vote.

    Update on Vessel HIN Changes

    RBAW continues to work with the State Parks Boating Law administrator and marine titling agencies on the HIN format compliance project. WA Dept. of Licensing will NOT charge any fee for re-titling to assign a compliant HIN. RBAW appreciate’s the DOL generosity in absorbing this “unfunded mandate” by the US Coast Guard.

    DOL is NOT reviewing compliance for “documented” vessels as that is a Federal Documentation Center issue and to date we have no information yet when or if that entity will issue a ruling on HIN compliance.

    For pre-1972 vessels (before the legal mandate to have a HIN), DOL will accept ANY format or the original HIN, even just a one-or-two digit manufacturer’s number.

    News from our Canadian Boating Neighbors

    Annually, RBAW meets with the leaders of the Council of British Columbia Yacht Clubs to exchange information on boating in our respective areas. CBCYC reported at our recent meeting that a nonprofit BC Marine Parks Forever (MPF) is working with BC Provincial Marine Parks by spending donated dollars to make improvements to many of the stern ties we use on our summer cruises North. Within the last two years, 25 stern tie pins have been either replaced or repaired in Desolation Sound. Some have been redesigned so a stainless plate with a pin has been installed with chains coming down to the low water mark to remove the need to be mountain climbers to access them. This is being done with the hope that individuals will stop using trees as tie points, thus reducing damage. 2015 – 15 ties installed in Melanie Cove; 2016- 25 installed in Prideaux Haven and Scobil Island. A projected 65 additional shore ties will be installed this year.

    American Friends of the Canadian Land Trust is working at allowing Americans to donate to the fund which will include marine park lands and receive an IRS tax receipt. Information will be placed on the RBAW website as information becomes available.

  • Page 10 Baggywrinkle June 2017

    We had a terrific 40% response rate (79 out of 200 email addresses) to our survey. Those 79 were a good cross section of respondents, with half being members 3 years or less and half being more than 3 years with the club. The overwhelming majority support the idea that PTYC should provide support to local students pursuing a course of study that is marine or maritime related.

    When asked how many fundraisers PTYC should have, the majority felt we should have two fundraisers each year (47%) with one fundraiser taking a close second (38%). We have lots of great comments to further consider, with the most frequent concern being the amount of volunteer time that goes into fundraising and seeking ways to maximize returns for the efforts invested.

    Interest by members in the various types of scholarship fundraisers tells us that 75% of the respondents support the Garage Sale event, either with volunteer time or donations. 55% responded favorably to having a game or fun night as a fundraiser. A silent auction, raffle baskets, and a mail-in campaign each garnered about 30% support. Other ideas were suggested that need to be considered by the Scholarship Committee.

    Members answers to club fundraising goals were widely spread with 43% of respondents answering in the $2-4,000 range and 36% suggesting $4,000 or more. In setting fundraising goals for the club, we need to consider the number of activities and support we might expect from those events.

    It is evident from this survey that a majority of respondents expect to be generous with their voluntary financial support of the Scholarship Fund. 53% of respondents expect to contribute more than $75 in the course of a year. In terms of event affordability, 25% of respondents thought events should be priced at $35 or less. 40% of respondents answered that $50 was affordable and 29% answered $75 or more was affordable. This answer reflects the need to try and make participation affordable at varying levels when planning future fundraising events.

    While 60% of respondents felt well informed regarding the PTYC scholarship program, 39% would like to know more or do not feel well informed. This may, in part, reflect that 20% of respondents are newcomers to PTYC.

    Feedback from the Mardi Gras Bingo fundraiser came from approximately half of those attending the event and tells us that the most enjoyable parts were socializing, having a simple dinner and playing a game. The Raffle Baskets allowed for participation by those who could not attend the event. Many respondents were sorry they could not attend because they were out of town (lucky snowbirds!).

    Cruise Snap Shot: September 18th: Shilshole Bay Marina

    Shilshole Bay Marina is located in Seattle's Ballard neighborhood, home

    to many restaurants, retailers, events, parks, and more. We’ll either enjoy

    a barbeque hosted by our cruise captains, or we can go as a group to

    enjoy one of the nearby restaurants in Ballard. We’ll let the cruisers

    decide once we have sign ups. Guest moorage rates are $1.25/ft.

    September 19th: Fisherman’s Terminal

    Fishermen’s Terminal in Ballard Interbay is home for hundreds of working fishing boats

    that spend months on the open sea off the coast of Alaska. It is also a convenient

    stopping place for pleasure boats that have successfully navigated the locks through to

    Lake Union and Lake Washington. We’ll share hors d’oeuvres together on one of our

    boats and then enjoy dinner at Highliner Public House that has recently re-opened, or

    Chinook’s at Salmon Bay. Guest moorage rates are $1.00/ft.

    September 20th: Seattle Yacht Club

    Founded in 1892, SYC is one of the country's most active and long-established yacht

    clubs. We’ll dine together in The Marine Room that offers great drinks and casual

    dining in a comfortable setting overlooking Portage Bay. The outdoor deck is popular in

    the summer months. Seattle Yacht Club is close to the University of Washington as

    well as University Village Shopping Center is just an Uber ride away.

    September 21st: Kingston Marina

    Kingston Marina was established by the state legislature in 1919 as one of

    the original Mosquito Fleet landing sites. The port is located on Apple

    Tree Cove where the Carpenter Creek Estuary flows into Puget

    Sound. Our very own Jim Pivarnik is the Executive Director at the Port of

    Kingston. We will plan a cookout. We’ll provide the main dish… cruise

    participants bring your own beverage and a side dish. Guest moorage is

    $1.00/ft.

    Explore sailing via ‘radio control’ by attending a scheduled T-37 Event. Local race events are held throughout the year!

    Contact Dan Newland for details: 510/290-6885 or [email protected]

    Note: T-37 is a 37” long Radio Controlled Sailboat kit, although built models do become available from time to time.

    In addition to my video series on T-37s, here is the link to a less sophisticated but helpful Builder’s Blog from Gary Bart. http://t37buildlog.blogspot.com email: [email protected]

    Cruising Connections is a bulletin board that helps PTYC members organize personal cruises with fellow members. These cruises are not sponsored by PTYC and do not receive funding. The three forums are "Pop-Up Cruises", "Casual Cruises 2017", and "Crew Wanted or Crew Available". Cruise

    Connections is not a blog. Only cruise related announcements may be posted on the forums. This is not the place to advertise items for sale, discuss maintenance issues, or share your recipe for margaritas. Please do not include attachments – they take too much data!

    Getting Started To access Cruising Connections, go to the PTYC website, ptyc.net. Cruising Connections is in the pull-down menu under “Boating”. You will find detailed directions on using Cruising Connections. From there, click on the link into the bulletin board using the member's only password. Try it out immediately by clicking here: http://ptyc.net/boating/cruising-connections-instructions/ This is supposed to run hands-free, but if you have any questions, contact Sue McKay, Bill Baratuci, Macy Galbreath, or Ilona Bell. During the cruising season, the response time may be a little longer than during the rest of the year. Cruising Connections Team: Bill Baratuci, Macy Galbreath & Sue McKay

    Cruising Connections Is Up and Running!
