June 2019 CYC Compass 5 Cruisers By Don and Joan Carter Cruising Chairpersons

May’s report from the Cruisers was missing because we were on our cruise to St. Petersburg at the deadline for the Compass. So—let’s get everyone up to date. The Cruisers, 16 boats total, spent four fun-filled days at the St. Petersburg Yacht Club in downtown St. Pete April 25-28. Festivities began shortly after we docked on Thursday with a Dock Party, good food and good times! Afterward some members attended a Broadway production of “Mama Mia” outdoors in the park. Friday the activities started with an afternoon of shuffleboard at one of the oldest and largest clubs in the country, followed by happy hour and a wonderful dinner put on by the St. Petersburg Yacht Club. Saturday consisted of the downtown St. Pete Farmers Market with dinner that night at 400 Beach Seafood and Tap House. Sunday concluded our weekend activities with a beautiful brunch at the St. Petersburg Yacht Club. Many thanks to our hostess for the weekend, Joan Carter. By the time you will be reading this, our group will be off on our longest trip of the year, a three-week voyage to the Keys, staying in Marathon and Key West, May 23-June 13. 2019 Cruise Schedule Remaining August 22-25 Tampa Yacht Club September 26-29 Commodore’s Cruise The next Cruisers meeting is June 18 at 6:30 p.m. Please join us! Bon voyage and keep it between the navigational beacons!

6 CYC Compass June 2019 BENEFIT By PC Tish Wold The party’s tagline was “Drop (off) your Drawers” and boy did we! A beautiful late April evening downstairs on the tiki deck--with a great band to get us dancing the night away—set the scene for CYC’s Spring Fling party April 28. The night was a blast, including a drink contest with our own favorite bartenders, Christian and Gage. Most of all, our members came out to offer a HUGE amount of support to The Haven, a local shelter for victims of domestic violence. Our very generous members and friends donated auction items, $2,000 in cash, over $200 in gift cards, along with $8,000 worth of underwear, clothing and toiletries for women and children. All of these were delivered May 1. The Haven staff was amazed at the donations given to their program. Big thanks to everyone who supported this party, espe- cially to the Haven Angels: Christy Crist, Amie Crosby, Abbey Heimensen, Deb Mattson, Olivia Prince, Khris Turpin, and PC Tish Wold, for organiz- ing the event! Look for this party to become a CYC tradition in years to come!

12 CYC Compass June 2019 Chaplain’s Log

By Fleet Chaplain Father Bob Wagenseil

Over the past 40 years, P.T. and I have sailed the waters from Maine to Bermuda, and Long Island to Clear- water. Along the way, we’ve experienced the awesome power of the Atlantic Ocean, and we’ve learned to enjoy the beauty of a seemingly endless horizon for days on end. Those sailing days are over now, at least for the time being, but we have discovered that opportunities to voyage far away and experience that seemingly endless horizon are still waiting for us. As I write my Chaplain’s Log this month, my wife and I are sitting onboard our RV located in the Arizona desert roughly 2,000 feet above sea level. This is a layover day due to high winds (approx 40 knots). We have just returned from three days at the Grand Canyon more than 7000 feet above sea level with humidity levels as low as 12%. We’ve experienced an amazing change of scenery on that route which has taken us from desert and cactus to a snow-capped mountain and pine forests. The topography has changed, and we’ve voyaged to locations we never would have thought possible twenty years ago—one im- portant aspect remains unchanged and that is the wonderful people we meet along the way. Indeed, whether at anchor or an RV Park, long distance voyaging is a metaphor for life itself, reminding us in countless ways that what matters most remains the same: it is the family, friends and fellow travelers we meet along the way who always make the voyage worth the effort. May your life’s voyage continue to be filled with the bless- ings of nothing less! Wishing you “fair winds” and “happy trails!” Fr Bob [email protected]
