The good news is that grounds of your PYC are in great shape and actually look even better after all the rain. This is much different from what the dollar weeds look like at my house! The Club’s new roof did not allow the first drop in the main building or in the Watson Center, and all the ongoing repairs and improvements to the Clubhouse and the Marina did just fine with no additional challenges. Make no mistake about it, your Club is poised to have “one amazing Spring”! As we continue to improve from so many Covid-related issues locally, more of our members are beginning to return to a more normal use of the facilities, and as several can attest … the water in the pool is gradually becoming warm enough to dip that first toe. For our parents and fellow grownups, as we move into the warmer months, the TIKI BAR will again serve the pool area, and our managers and staff are expecting full and happy days for members using the Club. Your Sailing Director, César Travado, has once again been building the Summer Sailing Camps. As of the latest report, we will have around 275 kids attending the PYC Summer Sailing Camp throughout the summer beginning May 31. I want to remind everyone - especially myself (“windsurfing Commodore” who routinely parks his truck at the East Marina spots) …WATCH OUT FOR THE KIDS!! We will be placing better signage reminding all to be cautious in that area, but we need everyone who uses that part of the Club to help maintain our perfect safety record. We are coming into a full calendar of May events at the Club, ranging from Mother’s Day Brunch on the May 9th (please make your reservations!), to the raft up on the May 15th, our Spring Sundowner Ceremony on May 21st, and the Catalina 22 Nationals from May 22nd to the 27th. Finishing the month is our Memorial Day Celebration from 11:00-2:00 on May 31st (again, reservations!!) Clearly, this will be a very busy month. Your PYC is, once again, in the national spotlight, this time by way of the PYC Satori Foundation. The Foundation, started by Carol and Tom Patterson, Denis McKinnon, Tim Burr, and Alan McMillan, has reached out to challenged and underprivileged youths for the past several years. Prior to Covid-19, the Foundation had taken over 500 kids on the water sailing, providing scholarships along the way for many to be able to participate in the Summer Sailing Camps. Recently, your Foundation received, from US Sailing, the Jim Kilroy Community Outreach Award, which is pictured on our cover this month. This award recognized the PYC Satori Foundation as THE top community outreach sailing program in the entire country!!! I encourage each of our members to pause and really consider the magnitude of such an award … with so many programs in San Diego, Chicago, New York, Texas, and throughout Florida, as well as many of the yachting organizations across the United States, our own Satori Foundation is seen as the BEST among amazing programs. As a Trustee of the Foundation, I cannot give enough appreciation and applause for all the work done by so many within the Satori group. And, as your current Commodore - the thrill and satisfaction of knowing that PYC continues to improve across so many aspects does two things: First, it blesses me with a deep understanding of how special our family of members, managers, and staff truly are; and second, it reassures me that we have an amazing opportunity to continue to improve THE South’s Finest Yacht Club!! Aloha, Tom

Executive Chef Steven & Sous Chef Les, visited East Hill Life is so worth living . . . at Pensacola Yacht Club! Christian School to teach them 2 of our “mother sauces” – Marinara & Alfredo. Talk about outreach! PAGE 3 | JIB SHEET Vice Commodore’s Comments Dr. David Chandler The Pensacola Yacht Club is steady on its course as “the South’s Finest Yacht Club.” We also have achieved international recognition from our engagement of “American Magic” during their winter training. As mentioned in our last Jib Sheet and highlighted in this issue, our PYC Satori Foundation is nationally recognized by US Sailing as the 2020 Jim Kilroy Outstanding Outreach and Inclusion Award. With such acclaim and with such an outstanding membership, we continue to attract top-quality candidates to join the PYC. Our waiting list continues to grow and, as of April, we listed 73 candidates for membership. We are excited to announce that the Pensacola Yacht Club Board of Directors approved 4 new members at the April meeting. Please welcome these families into our PYC family and connect with our social and yachting activities.

Welcome New Members!

Steve Carter (Active Member) is currently on his 4th sailboat, a 41 ft. Seahorse. He and his wife Jacqueline have two adult daughters, Amanda and Sarah. Steve is a former Management Consultant with North Highland Worldwide as their VP, retired as their CEO, and he now sits on their Board of Directors. His past and current affiliations include Board Member of GA Tech Cyber Center, and Member of the Shanghai Chamber of Commerce and the Atlanta Global Chamber. He also participates in the Shamrock Hounds and Bear Creek Hunting Clubs (with colors – meaning he has many captured foxes under his belt.)

Laura Munro (Transitional Member) is a Wedding Director for Live Oak Plantation in Beulah. She is the daughter of PYC Member Joe Weeks and sister of PYC Member Chase Munro. The family boats include a 17-foot Boston Whaler, and a 58-foot Hatteras, currently in the Shipyard, but usually occupies the slip next to our boat ramp. Laura would like to volunteer on PYC committees and would like to increase her sailing skills. She is a member of Impact 100, Pensacola Young Professionals, and The Propeller Club.

Ben Vanderlike (Transitional Member), a Pensacola native, graduated from the Merchant Marine Academy, and he serves as Second Officer on several merchant vessels. He also serves as a temporary Bar Pilot for the City of Pensacola. His 32-foot cabin cruiser is currently undergoing repairs for Hurricane Sally damage. Ben is now looking to acquire a sailboat, and he would like to volunteer on our Race Committee and work with the pin sets for races.

Ben Stoddard (Social Member), a Marine Architect, is currently the V.P. of Operations and Product Development at Arco Marine. Ben and his wife, Sophie, have two children: Finn (11) and Easton (9). He is an avid sailor and presently owns a 21’ powerboat but has owned several Laser and O’Day sailboats. He is looking for a larger sailboat very soon and wants to get his children into our Jr. Sailing Program.

Rusty Bond (Non-Resident Member) originally joined PYC in 2005 as a Regular Active Member; at the same time, he was also a regular and former Board Member of Pensacola Beach Yacht Club. He and his wife Trish were extremely active around our Club with both racing and cruising. Rusty was a sales executive with Infor Global Solutions, and he resigned in 2017 when he transferred to the home office in Colorado Springs, where he also retired. Rusty recently purchased a Catalina 353 named “Gypsy” from one of our PYC members, and he wants to be involved with PYC events while in Pensacola. He brings a great deal of sailing and racing experience back to PYC.

There was tremendous attendance, and there was great energy from the number of attendees. The PYC Membership Committee is recommending that we schedule New Member Receptions semi-annually to optimize the event size.

Members Lost Tessie Williams This March 20, 2021, PYC lost a cherished and longtime member, Tessie Williams. She was born 1944-2021 on March 28, 1944, in Virginia Beach, VA, and her family moved to Pensacola in 1945. Tessie attended Pensacola Catholic High School and the University of Alabama. In addition to her membership in the Pensacola Yacht Club, Ms. Williams was a member of The Junior League and a board member of the Debutant Cotillion for 40 years. She volunteered on the Fiesta of Five Flags for 30 years. Tessie was also active in several Mardi Gras organizations, a member of the Basilica of St. Michael the Archangel, and served the homeless through St. Joseph’s Soup Kitchen. She is survived by her two daughters, Sarah Elizabeth Williams and Elizabeth Williams Jasperson, her sister Sarah Click Caruth, and three grandchildren.

PYC Membership Survey Efforts Our PYC Satori Foundation sent out, via email, a weblink survey through SurveyMonkey. We received only 46 responses for an approximately 6% return rate, which was disappointing. Some members have indicated that they did not receive the survey email, and some members have noted missing the PYC Jib Sheet notice. Jennifer Langham, our PYC Administrative Assistant, investigated and indicated that there were several bounce-back emails during March on Gmail accounts. Technology can be so challenging. The responses to the PYC Satori Survey demonstrated an overall positive perception of the PYC Satori Foundation and indicated opportunities to increase awareness. Please visit the Satori Foundation on the web and Facebook and consider joining with a charge from your PYC account. In contradistinction to our weblink survey response rate, we have a substantial return on the survey composed by General Manager Jim Warwick, including a PYC Membership Committee question regarding boating ownership and interests. The office staff is tabulating results, and we hope to issue a report soon. Thank you to those who participated in the survey. If you have not answered our questions, please do so to help us understand and respond to the interests of our members.

Florida Marina Evacuation Legislation Florida H 223 (Rep. Plasencia from District 50 Titusville – Brevard County) Marina Evacuations unanimously passed the Florida House on April 1 and the Florida Senate on April 14. After signature from Governor George DeSantis, the law will be in effect on July 1, 2021. John Merting, PYC Fleet Counsel, is reviewing this legislation. In summary:

Marina Evacuations: Prohibits vessels under specified weight from remaining in certain marinas deemed unsuitable for refuge during hurricane after issuance of hurricane watch; requires specified persons to remove vessels upon failure of vessel owners or operators to remove such vessels; provides that such persons may charge reasonable removal fee & are not liable for damages resulting from such removal; provides that owners or operators of certain vessels may be subject to specified fines.

Satori Foundation Planning Meeting Submitted by: Dr. Denis McKinnon

On Friday, April 16, 2021, the PYC Satori Foundation held a planning meeting at PYC to establish its goals objectives and focus for the years 2021 through 2024. The planning session was very well attended by approximately 35 members of the Satori Trustees, Advisers and other interested supporters. The meeting featured presentations by the first three presidents of the Foundation: Previous Commodore and current Satori Foundation President, Alan McMillan, presented the history of the Foundation; As 1st Satori President, I, Denis McKinnon, presented about the Foundation’s Mission and Objectives; as 2nd Satori President and Previous Commodore, Tim Burr, discussed governance, evolution of the trustees, and explained the differences between a private foundation and a public charity. Further presentations by Bob Sutton and Bill Nobles concerned the fleet of boats and the financial viability of Satori Foundation. Marguerite Burr presented a very impressive set of numbers concerning the outreach efforts over the past six years. Vice Commodore Dr. David Chandler presented the results of the PYC Satori Survey, in which a number of you participated. The final presentation was given by Sandy Dimick, with a review of the University of West Florida Marketing Team’s proposals. A number of new and innovative ideas came out of these proposals. Of note was the concern over the viability of the current PYC website and Facebook pages. Accordingly, both of these are being updated. Lunch was served, and the afternoon session was facilitated by Alan McMillan. The participants were well engaged and had a number of ideas concerning initiatives going forward. Alan McMillan closed the meeting with a review of upcoming events, to whit: the “Satori Annual Meet and Greet” to be held on June 2; the Pete Moore Fishing Tournament to be held July 23 and 24th; the Soirée to be held on September 23rd, and a presentation of the beautiful leather-bound yachting books that will be offered as a two-volume set for $50. These are a high end set priced at one-half of the original price.

PAGE 6 | JIB SHEET US Sailing Association’s The Jim Kilroy Trophy Outstanding Outreach and Inclusion Award

“Sailing, Pensacola, and the ‘Say Yes’ Pensacola spirit shine in national spotlight, again.” by Talbot Wilson The PYC Satori Foundation, Pensacola’s not-for-profit organization that focuses on providing sailing outreach programs to a broad range of organizations and individuals throughout the community, has won the US Sailing Association’s Jim Kilroy Outstanding Outreach and Inclusion Award. Sailing, Pensacola, and the “Say Yes” Pensacola spirit shine in the national spotlight, again.

This prestigious award is given annually to a Program Director or Program that has made notable contributions to promote public access to sailing by finding and including people in their program who would normally have no access to sailing.

US Sailing’s Community Services Director Don Rotzien made annual achievement award presentations Wednesday in a virtual ceremony from US Sailing’s Rhode Island headquarters, in a virtual award ceremony. The national governing body of sailing in the United States recognized individuals and organizations for their contributions to the sport of sailing in the United States in the areas of Community Service, Training and Education, Olympic Coaching and Volunteerism. Pensacola’s PYC Satori Foundation was the first honoree.

In his presentation, Mr. Rotzien gave The Satori Foundation high praise. “The PYC Satori Foundation’s mission is to inspire interest in and encourage and promote the sport of sailing and yachting and a broad range of maritime activities in Pensacola, Florida. They do this by providing outreach sails including STEM education; seasonal scholarships for underserved youth; and year-round scholarships to camp recipients that show skills, motivation, and a commitment to making sailing accessible. “The Satori Foundation is notable in their community for going above and beyond to establish partnerships with local organizations for their outreach sails. Some of their youth partners include the Boys and Girls’ Club, Big Brothers/Big Sisters, Seastars Aquatics, a program for swimmers with disabilities, and FSU CARD, the Center for Autism and Related Disabilities. They engage each group in a STEM lesson prior to sailing and get every participant hands-on learning during their sail. Participants learn in an exciting environment, understanding the science of waves, wind and currents, and the technology of instruments and modern navigation. They learn they can steer a large sailboat and in turn steer their own path through life. “Each of Sartori’s adult groups deals with an extraordinary level of stress in their lives, but their time out on the water gives them an experience of peace and well-being. Sailing is Sartori’s way of offering a place of peace to de-stress and recharge.” In accepting the award, Satori President & Trustee Alan McMillan said, “As president of the PYC Satori Foundation, I’m proud to accept the Jim Kilroy Outstanding Outreach and Inclusion Award from the US Sailing Association on behalf of the Foundation, it’s Trustees, Advisory Board and volunteers who have made our community outreach an amazing success in just six short years. The partnership between the Foundation and Pensacola Yacht Club has helped make this all possible.”

The Foundation sprang from the generosity and vision of To m and Carol Patterson who donated their 52-foot Shannon yacht “Satori” to launch the foundation. Dozens of volunteers have shared their resources, time and talents to help bring “Satori “ to the point where US Sailing has recognized the achievement with this award.

Denis McKinnon and Tim Burr, who were past presidents of The Satori Foundation, took part in the virtual acceptance of the award. Burr and McMillan are past commodores of Pensacola Yacht Club.

The water’s fine! Just in time for the warm weather, and under the watchful eye of Dockmaster Spitzer, the pool awning and deck repairs are complete. So, feel free to jump in and take a few laps then lounge poolside. As we get close to Memorial Day the poolside bar is “up and running.”

What’s “DONE ” . . . is “DONE”! I am pleased to report that many of the post-Sally projects are now complete. Earlier in April, all roof work on the Main House and the Watson Center was completed and ready to protect us from the heavy rains and storms. Also, “on high,” all chimney repairs and flue work are complete. (The primary work remaining is to repair and replace siding and soffits on the Main House. Currently PYC has selected a contractor is in the queue for this work.) Inside the Club, new carpet installation in both ballrooms is complete. Additionally, new banquet chairs were selected and are on order. Next door, the Junior Clubhouse is fully operational again. Thanks again to Dock Master Spitzer and the PYC crew for rebuilding the roof and performing the major interior work, as well as Sailing Director Travado and Junior Chair Bellina for leading the charge to get the building clean and ready for our young sailors. Down on the waterfront, the temporary concrete and bulkhead repairs were completed by DM Spitzer. This will keep us whole until the hoist/ramp area is rebuilt during the winter season. While PYC is working to get contracts in place for structural repairs to some floating docks, DM Spitzer is planning to repair cleats and other work to get ready for the summer season. Again, many thanks for the energy of our great Club Staff, Officers, and Members for making rapid progress after Sally.

It isn’t “OVER” until it’s “OVER”! Where does this energy go next? Here is a preview of future work that the Club will be reviewing for near and long-term planning: • Repairs to the brand-new Saunders Beach fence that was damaged during the heavy storms on 4/10; • New air purification and dehumidification systems for the kitchen, Main House basement, and Ballrooms to improve safety, air quality and reduce HVAC energy needs; • Initiating a “PYC East” master facility plan to guide improvements and long-term investments; • Bulkhead replacements for the East and West marinas; • Hardening the East Marina to increase resiliency during major storm The long list of Sally repairs has gotten much shorter thanks to the efforts of so many. From current and former FLAG Officers, to Club Management, to Staff, to many dedicated Members, I offer my sincere appreciation for making things happen!

PAGE 9 | JIB SHEET Interview with a Sailor César Travado Even though I grew up in a family who only wanted dirt under their feet, I knew I wanted to sail. Sailing started in 1974 with a wife and daughter who shared the love, and I see no end in sight. Racing sailboats became addictive – some success helped. The desire to support the sport and wanting to always be able to play at the highest level led me to start running races. Being naturally competitive, I strive to be the best PRO (National Race Officer since 2000) to provide excellent race management for very skilled and competitive sailors. It has been a real honor to have those opportunities. It has also been an honor to serve two recent P/Fleet Captain Hal Smith years as PYC Fleet Captain.

1) Your first time on a sailing boat? August 1974. Sally & I had a 4-year-old daughter and needed a new car, but we knew we wanted to sail. We bought a new 1974 Catalina 22 without instructions and started sailing.

2) Your first time in a regatta? Early 1975. We had joined a sailing club and learned that people actually raced something as slow as a sailboat.

3) What boat do you currently sail in, and in what boats have you sailed? Catalina 315 – We just replaced our Catalina 36 (lost to Hurricane Sally after 21 years) and a Sunfish. Owned: Catalina 22, 27, Capri 25, 30, 22, MC Scow, BIC Sailboard. Sailed a lot on: J22, 109, 42, Oday 39, and lots more.

4) What is the most bizarre thing that happened in a regatta? We were running a race in Charleston Harbor with about 50 boats/3 classes. One of the gate marks broke free and began to drift – UPWIND! At first, everyone assumed the other mark was drifting away as the 2 marks separated. Chaos for competitors and RC. The current was the villain; it was stronger than the wind headed in the opposite direction. A couple of races I ran in Cuba challenge as the most bizarre, but the stories are too long.

5) What is the thing that most angers you in a race/regatta? Cheating or misrepresenting a rule violation. This sport is much more fun when gentlemen (ladies) compete, and integrity is foremost.

6) Which is the race/regatta that you remember with the most pleasure? The 1981 Catalina National Regatta. We won. Three of us rotated the lead after each of 4 days of racing. We had to win the last race, and it is the only perfect race I ever sailed. No mistakes. There was also the 1988 Atlanta Dogwood Regatta, 250 boats, in our Capri 30. We came from behind, had a glorious victory, but not a perfect race.

7) And the race/regatta you would like to forget? I almost did forget it. Crewing on a J42 in Charleston, while trimming the main, the helmsman accidentally gybed. The mainsheet knocked me over pinning me backwards across a Lewmar winch. Even after getting back to the dock, I had to be carried off to a car to take me to the hospital. I had broken 3 ribs and punctured a lung. Hours later, the examining doctor could read “Lewmar” imprinted in my back. I needed pain meds for that one.

8) Your “dream in the peak”? (Your sailing dream?) Sally and I have been very fortunate to have done many of the things that remain on some people’s bucket list. We have sailed the open ocean at night and seen stars only visible there. We have anchored hearing exotic animal sounds in the evening. We have survived the storm to find tranquility. And, we have been exhilarated while finishing just ahead of boats that were clinging to our stern the whole race. The essence of all of that is to be under sail in a well-mannered and eager boat at one with Mother Nature. The dream is to be able to keep doing that for many more years.

9) Sailing goals for 2021, and beyond Keep sailing. There is little more satisfying than feeling a happy boat in balance propelled by the wind. I think we found our perfect place here in Pensacola to do that.

PAGE 10 | JIB SHEET 10) The most important people for you in sailing? John Bonds, National Race Officer, International Judge, President of US Sailing, author Safety-At-Sea, Naval officer, University professor, mentor; and Beattie Purcell, Manager Catalina East Coast Plant), outstanding sailor and international racing winner, definition of gentleman, and friend. Both embodied character and loved our sport. . . .and in PYC? All of the great people who share the passion for sailing. We have the best sailing director.

11) Your perfect sailing venue and your perfect sailing conditions? Pensacola Bay with its daily menu. Sally and I have been fortunate to enjoy a wide variety of sailing experiences from squirrely lakes to open ocean, big wind and “ornery” currents, to the sweet steady breezes with the smooth seas of Pensacola Bay. That is why we chose here for this stage in our lives.

12) Besides sailing which other sport do you practice? I like to paint – art. When I was old enough to grip a pencil, I was drawing. The passion was shelved when serious life came along and I was responsible as a husband and father. I am getting to do that again now. I never should have let other obligations take all of my energies for that large interim.

13) Are you superstitious? NO! But I do have special game day shirts.

14) Your perfect holiday? If it involves family, good friends and sailing, then it cannot be beat. SAVE THE DATE

PAGE 11 | JIB SHEET Fleet Captain’s Report Andrew McMillan The 2021 Maxine Series The 2021 Maxine Series has now finished. Pensacola Beach Yacht Club heldMaxine #2 with PYC boats winning all three classes. Winners included John Mathis with “Forerunner” in Class A, Stephen Nichols on “Phoenix” in Class B, and Robert Kriegel with “Acadia” winning Non-spinnaker Class. We held Maxine #3 a week later with Paul & Rachael Gillette’s “Atlantic Union II” winning the Spinnaker Class and Robert Kriegel’s “Acadia” -again- winning Non-spinnaker Class. The overall series standings were very close for the Spinnaker Fleet with the top three boats being only one point apart. “Raven,” skippered by PYC’s David Johnson, won 1st Place, with John Mathis’ “Forerunner” and Stephen Nichols’ “Phoenix” tied for 2nd Place, with “Phoenix” winning the tie-breaker. Robert Kriegel’s “Acadia” easily won the Non-Spinnaker Class. “2021 Maxine Samson Series Regatta #3” “Pensacola Yacht Club March 27, 2021

PAGE 13 | JIB SHEET E a s t e r Easter at the PYC was a smashing success. We had the world’s most handsome and talented Easter Bunny, played by Dean Kirschner, and there were eggs galore for the little ones to hunt down so their parents could help them eat the candy. The PYC Membership Committee suggested bottomless Mimosas for next year. Please submit your vote on refreshments for next Easter.

“Alafair” & Capt. Johnnie Getting closer! Smith, P/C Ron Bray, Julie Denton, Dave Norfleet, The Fleet is on its way to be blessed! Cynthia Cannon, & By P/C John Matthews Ruth Smith

Prior to Sunday, April 18, 2021, the scheduled day for the traditional Blessing of the Fleet, I reviewed five different weather-related agencies that professed to know “all about” weather forecasting, to see what the weather was supposed to be for the big day It was not surprising that all five had different “views” on what the weather was to be. The similarities between them were temperature (72 -73 degrees) and winds at NNW, (but the predicted wind speed varied.) The most striking prediction was whether or not it was going to rain; predictions ranged from “no rain” to “30% chance of rain.“ After consulting with the Fleet Captain and the Commodore, we agreed that the event would be a “GO.” Capt. Claire Rees and fun crew of And so it was . . . the day turned out to be a very good Dave Oerting & Murt Guild day. - mostly clouds but some sunshine; best was the fact aboard 1st Place “Montaulk” that there was absolutely no rain. The event went off as planned. What started as only 9 boats committing to the Blessing of the Fleet event, we wound up with 16 boats registered. Dwight Gobelli, Skipper of “Kokopelli,” requested to be the first boat behind “About Time,” the PYC Race Committee Boat, which was the lead vessel. Dwight had his boat all decorated with a Polynesian Dwight Gobelli & his rowdy theme, including the conch horn, which he blew as he crew of pirates aboard neared the transient dock, about to be blessed, and a 1st Place “Kokopeli” Note the “winched-up wench!” small cannon, which he fired, to honor the Commodore and the PYC Marina. The judges & Commodore Pace All the boats checked in at the Bayou Chico Number 2 mark which is now only a can, sisnce a Skanska barge/tug ran into the permanent marker. It still remains floating next to the riprap at the east end of the PYC marina. The light still works, although underwater. At 1630, “About Time” headed down the channel leading the line of boats heading to be blessed. As you can see in the picture all the skippers had a good line and good spacing. Many thanks to Skipper John Shaffer, “Score Card,” for Capt. John Schaeffer & Crew the pictures. Some look like they need to be blessed quickly! PAGE 16 | JIB SHEET The Blessing of the Fleet

As the boats approached Bayou Chico Number 10, each skipper advised the Fleet Captain of the name of the vessel to be blessed. The PYC Chaplain Timothy May prayed a blessing over our fleet to ward off hurricanes and calamity during the 2021 season. He called each vessel’s name and sprinkled water on the vessel and crew as it passed. All in all, the following named vessels were blessed: “Montaulk,” “Alafair,” “Kokopeli,” “Legacy,” “Point of Sail,” “Blue Eyes,” “NeilBarb,” “TraSea,” Club Mngr. Warwick “Beach House,” “Hally-lu-ya!!”, “Ocean Sapphire,” & Sec. Cannon “Kostalotta,” “Score Card,” and “Recess.” Most of the boats had some measure of decoration.

Blessing of the Fleet Organizer The PYC Hospitality Committee had the responsibility P/C John Matthews of judging to see who had the “Best Decorated Vessel” in both the Power Class and Sail Class. The judges selected “Montaulk,” owner/skipper Claire Rees, as the “Best Decorated Powerboat” and “Kokopelli”, owner/skipper Dwight Gobelli, as the “Best Decorated Sailboat.” Many thanks to Judges Nancy Matthews, EJ Jackson, “Beach House” and Diane Folse for their participation. 2nd home to Cliff, Kristen, & Cole Roberts Many thanks also to all the skippers for their donations to the Florida Commodore’s Association Foundation to be used to support the education and training of Florida Olympic Qualified Sailors.

Next year’s Blessing of the Fleet is already being planned to expand the vessels to include several commercial vessels, like those owned by PYC Member Frank Patti. It should prove to be a great event and should help raise funds for our PYC Satori Foundation. So, put it on your calendar for 2022. Cpt.

Two-to-three inches of rain, 30 knot winds and a 95% chance of severe thunderstorms were predicted for Sunday. That did not sound like a fun time to be on the bay or even in the shelter of Fort McRee. The weather actually turned out much worse with four‑inch hail, 70 knot winds and heavy, heavy rains. Many thanks to Neil and Janet Davies for volunteering to host even though it didn’t work out as planned. Hopefully the weather in May will be more cooperative. Julie and Steven Orr will be hosting the next raft up on May 15 – 16. I’m sure they are making plans for a great weekend.

PAGE 21 | JIB SHEET Do You Ride? Mike McCord SOB Rides!

With the spring weather we are seeing increased activity in the S.O.B. riders’ group. An interesting agenda of different rides have been developed for the next couple of months.

Our Saturday morning ride (4/3) began at PYC and proceeded north on 29 to Quinette Rd. Steve Harp was the Ride Captain and he had selected a number of scenic back roads over to Jay and around to Milton. We had a lunch break at Grover T’s restaurant (which is always a treat) before returning home down I10. We covered about 100 miles with sunny skies and a perfect temperature. Participating in the ride was Steve Harp, Gary Folse, Darrel Harrison, Alan McMillan, and Mike McCord. Our next ride was a weekday trip that was rained out (on two different days). We plan to try again soon. A multi-day ride is planned for the Thunder Beach Biike Rally in Panama City, leaving Friday (4/30) and returning on Sunday (5/2). This is always a well-attended rally, and our Ride Captain Bob Kriegel has planned an interesting route and an optional side-trip. If any Club members would like to be added to the email distribution list for upcoming ride details, please contact Mike McCord at [email protected].

2021 Schedule

May 1 Weekend) Thunder Beach – Bob Kriegel to take the lead on a Friday thru Sunday ride to the Thunder Beach Rally May (Weekday) Susan McKinnon to take the lead June 5 (Weekend) Darrel Harrison to take the lead on a ride to northern Alabama either via Natchez Trace or Rattlesnake Saloon June (Weekday) Larry Morris will take the lead.

Celestial Navigation By Bob Kriegel Power Squadron Commander Scott Rathkam and Educational Officer Todd Larson gave a comprehensive crash course in celestial navigation for several of us April 22nd.

Murt Guild, Hayward Hornsby, Bob Kriegel, Chuck Minnich, and John Shaffer took part in the intensive five-hour session that all agreed was tremendous and well worthwhile.

The newcomers in the group are enthusiastic about further celestial education, and the old-timers were delighted with the refresher. And all present agreed that taking further Power Squadron educational courses is a great opportunity!

PAGE 22 | JIB SHEET The following tribute blends excerpts from Rudy Bray’s MEMBER SPOTLIGHT. It was published in the Jib Sheet on “MAY 2015,” exactly 6 years prior to this Jib Sheet “May 2021 “ Maintaining the article in the present tense, seems only appropriate since Rudy will always be with us. Mr. Rudy Bray – “A Man for All Seasons” By Marcia Roberts, Editor Most of us know Rudy Bray. We know that he is a renowned engineer and inventor; we know that he is a kind and modest; gentleman; and we know that he is a graduate of Auburn University (War Eagle!). Rudy enjoys his life. He admits that he “tears up” when talking about his family, that he has a lifelong predilection for practical jokes, and that he r-e-l-i-s-h-e-s engineering! Rudy and his wife, Quinlyn, met in their hometown of Andalusia, but didn’t date until Rudy was a student at Auburn. The blue-eyed couple married and then their lives were interrupted when Rudy joined the Air Force. Quinlyn followed him and their first son, our own P/C Ronald Bray was born, soon to be followed by son John and daughter Rena. Rudy spent his remaining military career in remote Peng Yang Do, Korea. He thanks PYC Member Murt Guild, as well as other PYC Members, for shooting at the enemy in “Peng Do” (as Murt calls it.) We could have missed out on generations of Brays and countless inventions that make our lives easier. As a teenager, Rudy could often be found creating “oddities” in the Bray’s garage. Neighbors frequently dropped by to see what he was designing, such as the transformer that produced a lateral arc of electricity. As the second fastest runner in school, the young Bray was recruited to run track. As for meeting his own expectations, Rudy told his coach, “I just don’t see what we’re doing – running ‘round and ‘round – while, at home, I’m building a kayak!” While taking his engineering final exam, his Auburn professor interrupted him in the middle of the exam to tell him that he had a very important phone call. Although Rudy protested, his professor was vehement that he take the call. According to Rudy, he told the caller, “Talk quickly. I’m in the middle of a final!” The call was a lucrative job offer from Chemstrand Corporation. Without even quoting a salary, they told him to “report immediately,” promising him that he wouldn’t be unhappy with his pay. He wasn’t. He was even allowed to finish his exam. When Rudy reflects on his love for learning, he explains that the highlights of his learning experiences were always “hands on” and practical. In 2008, Rudy Bray was named a member of the prestigious Engineering Council by Auburn University’s Dean of Engineering. This appointment was a great source of pride, and Rudy gives much credit to Auburn. What I learned there has allowed me to think analytically about the kinds of engineering and business challenges that I face on a daily basis. I credit Auburn in large part for my successes [13 patents and counting] because Auburn made me an engineer.” And he adds with pride, “It’s been great!” Rudy Bray’s resume is amazing – and long. Of his many patents thus far, he names three as his favorites: Remote Cardiac Pacemaker Test Unit - This device is used for checking implanted cardiac pacemakers, thus making life easier for patients who now can avoid hospital visits for such check-ups. With electrodes on two fingers, patients can dial in from any telephone for a “pacemaker checkup.!” Drones – Of course, Rudy is right in the midst of this technology! He and son Ron have designed drones as boats, helicopters, and jeeps, (which are used for target practice) drone video cameras for inspections of real estate, roofs, and building integrity; and as lifeguards, assisting in the location of swimmers in trouble. And yes, a drone can even drop a life preserver to a person. Fuel Cell Power Generator – This power unit will eventually provide power to residences and commercial businesses without overhead lines or huge power stations. While we know that Rudy Bray must have an above-average sized brain, fortunately, his heart is also “plus-sized.” As a member of the Shriners, Rudy spent a great deal of time raising money for, and spending time with, burned and crippled children. In 1975, he became Potentate of the Shriners of Northwest Florida, and he directed 4,000 other Shriners in support of 4,000 hospitals. As a pilot, Rudy personally flew many burned or cripppled children to Shriners’ Hospitals. Rudy Bray has enjoyed a technology-driven career – and – a family-centered life. When he speaks of his life, he says that he has been able. To “translate a lot of dreams into reality.”                   Rudy leaves behind many star-struck souls, including Auburn’s AUBIE Wins! children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren, USC Cheerleading Association’s family, friends, understudies and “accomplices,” Auburn alums and current students, and Pensacola Nation’s #1 Mascot Yacht Club Members. What can we expect next, Rudy Bray? ……………Something heavenly, I am sure. (Ahem, did you have a heavenly P.S. Here’s to you, Rudy! hand in this, Rudy?)
