JUNE 2020 EST. 1913 From the Commodore reetings Coronado Yacht Club Members, G I hope this month’s Whisker Pole meets you happy and healthy. We are beginning to emerge from the COVID 19 Quarantine and return to somewhat of a normal life. The current plan is to have the club restaurant open with limited seating by June 1st and initially, the “To-Go” menu only. As the Commodore Scott Grimes city and yacht club begins to open more and more, I ask that you continue to adhere to the rules set by the County Health Department and help keep our Club, Members, and Staff safe.

As you are aware, the COVID 19 Pandemic caused Coronado Yacht Club to cancel our 89th Memorial Day Weekend Opening Day Ceremony. At the last minute, Treasurer Robin MacCartee conceived the idea of an Opening Day video to continue our tradition. Robin created the Opening Day video in less than one week. He found a videographer and quick- ly edited the Opening Day script to condense the run time. We then scrambled to record the script in advance, and then solicit participation from associated yacht clubs & associations, dignitaries, government agencies, the Junior Commo- dore & Board and Staff Commodores. Navy Lt. Bruce Mansfield Director, US Navy Band Southwest had committed to have Navy Band Southwest play at this year’s Opening Day, and instead recorded several military hymns and Navy Band Singer MU3 Taylor Johns to sing the National Anthem. Harbor Police Chief Stainbrook & Community Policing Sergeant T.D. De La Pen᷉a arranged to have a Harbor Police patrol boat visit Glorietta Bay and shoot the fire monitors in honor of Memorial Day and our Opening Day Ceremony. Congratulations to Mark Surber and the Crew of Snoopy, winners of the 2019 Transpac award and Heather and Chuck Furey as the winner of the Fleet Captains award for Blond Furey. The video was only possible because of the quick replies with videos, and extraordinary cooperation of those who participated. Treasurer Robin MacCartee has my deepest appreciation for pulling together the video!

As soon as we can “gather” again, we will host an Opening Day Party to com- plete our opening day tradition.

The Club looked great as many members dressed ship and the large US & P.O.W Flags were flown from the sail drying masts. I understand we distribut- ed almost 200 drink tickets for dressing ship! I would also like to thank every- one for following the rules regarding social distancing and face masks. Consid- ering the city is beginning to open, the great weather and the traditional boat- ing weekend. It appears everyone did great and there were not any issues that I am aware of.

Commodore Grimes & Treasurer MacCartee May also brought our Semi-Annual Meeting which was held virtually on Mi- crosoft Teams. There were no motions on the agenda, however, the Board and Flag Officers all gave in-depth reports of their respective positions. It was announced that at the May Board of Directors meeting, a motion was passed to post- pone the first underway requirement for vessels berthed at CYC in wet or dry slips. Now both underway trips will need to be completed by Decem- ber 31, 2020.

Out of respect for the information and communication overload in the past few months, I will make this article short, and close by wishing you all a great summer!

Bridget & I hope you remain happy, healthy and safe.

-Scott Grimes

s we emerge from the depths of COVID Quarantine, stage 1 &2, slowly easing into stage 3 and A obtain and enjoy some of our liberties being returned to us, we have some exciting new things happening at CYC. In-house waiter served dining is being offered during our regular hours of 5:00 p.m. to 8:30 pm on Wednesday and Friday evenings, as well as our Full Weekend Menu on Saturdays and Sundays from 9:00 am to 5:30 pm. Reserva- tions are required and limited so that we can properly protect you, the membership, and our highly valued staff.

By reservation, the Dining Room and Clubhouse Front Patio will be available for in-house club dining. Members will not order drinks at the bar, but at their dining tables with the server who will take them to tables in the Dining Room or Patio. All tables, inside and outside, will be separated by 6 feet in order to ensure physical distancing of members. As such, seating in the Dining Room and Front Patio will be limited. Please call ahead and include your location request with your reservation.

In-house dining members will only be seated after the previous guest has left the dining table to allow time for staff to disinfect before being seated.

Table seating is to be limited to household units, or members who have asked to be seated together. Members from the same household at the same table do not have to be six feet apart. All members of the party must be pre- sent before seating and the host/hostess must bring the entire party to the table at one time.

Our “To Go” food offerings will continue during our regular hours of 5:00 pm to 8:30 pm on Wednesday and Friday evenings, as well as our Full Weekend Menu being offered on Saturdays and Sundays from 9:00 am to 5:30 pm. CYC will continue to offer our “To Go” Curbside Pickup to minimize crossflow of members in enclosed environ- ments. We have created a “To Go” seating area on the Bayside Lawn by the sabot racks. Members using the “To Go” dining tables are encouraged to allow time for staff to disinfect dining tables and chairs before being seated. CYC will continue to provide takeout and delivery to our membership within the Coronado Community. We are constantly monitoring the everchanging San Diego Health Orders, seeing how we can bring back the exceptional membership experience that our staff loves to provide for the membership to enjoy in a safe, responsible, and legal manner. The Adult Sailing Program Charter is back with a 24 hour reservation requirement, and as of this writing Director Wilson has secured the second Harbor 20 for our fleet. I greatly appreciate the patience and support that you have shown us while we navigate through these in- creased sanitation protocols that allow us to move forward. Aloha Manager Lou

By Rod and Reel Co-Chairmen Russell Nevitt & Mike Copp

hat a difference a couple of weeks make! As I write this, Memorial Weekend W is just ending. The virtual Opening Day notwithstanding, CYC was a riot of color and boats, with many members enjoying their vessels, all while respecting each other’s mandated six feet of per- sonal space. In spite of the pandemic, we choose to live our lives to the fullest, but in consideration of the most vulner- able among us. It is a great day to be an American, a CYC member, and a fisherman! With the easing of restrictions, many Rod & Reel members have ventured out to fish recently. Given the regulation of “family members only” aboard a boat, it is apparent there have been quite a few temporary adoptions, and marriages of convenience. By the time the restrictions are lifted, all the CYC members may be related. Sadly, a casualty of the vi- rus has been the cancellation of yet another fishing tournament that CYC was scheduled to host. In the big picture of things, this is very small potatoes, but we want to keep you abreast of our continued efforts to represent as the Co- Chairmen of Rod & Reel. Some notable catches have been recorded in the few short weeks since the reopening of the waterfront. Jeronimo Gomez-Ibarra has jumped to the lead among the Juniors’ division, with a nice 5 lb. halibut weighed at our official CYC scale. Dave Campbell on “Hull Truth” has set a high bar, weighing in a 19.63 lb. yellowtail on the 11th of May. Tom Christiansen aboard his Fishing Machine, “C Notes” returned this weekend with numerous yellowfin tuna, and a 40 lb. Bluefin tuna. Captain Mike, aboard the “Dutch Treat” on May 8th, landed a beautiful 56 lb. bluefin after a 45 minute fight on 25 lb. test line. Naturally, there is a fish story to go along with this narrative. Mike hooked a much larger fish

on the same rig, and struggled mightily for over 2.5 hours to bring the fish to gaff, before the line finally broke. We had the fish within 20 feet many times, but just out of reach. Truly a mix of “the one that got away,” and “The Old Man and The Sea.” It wore me out just watching him battle the fish, all the while maneuvering the boat and staying six feet away from Mike. With the ocean once again within reach, we would like to request you send along photos of your recent successes. Tim Taylor emailed a picture of Hank Taylor with a nice corvina, caught on his birthday. As the club reopens, we hope to have the pictures on the monitor, for everyone to enjoy your adventures. Remember, without a picture, its just another fish story. On this Memorial Day, in honor of all those who gave the last full measure so we could be privileged to enjoy this won- derful existence we have at CYC, we give thanks and offer a prayer for their sacrifice. Looking forward to seeing our extended family in the Bar! Tight lines, Russ & Mike

cannot believe it is summer. This will not be a normal summer that we would like to have! I THE PLAN, but still not confirmed until the state allows summer camps/organized groups to start.

June 15th race team and private lesson, July 6th small group classes (4 per class and only singlehanded classes) and hope as guidelines open-up we can add doublehanded boats. Classes will be weeklong. Sign-ups will be out the first week in June. Please email me at [email protected] if you would like to be added to the junior email list. I will send out a weekly update and add to the schedule for what we can offer each week.

We will not offer scallywags or fishing classes this summer. We just do not think we can keep social dis- tancing or keep masks on the younger sailors.

Here is what we are working on for sanitization and social distancing procedures to keep everyone safe:

• We will increase the space between boats and equipment to allow for 6+ feet of space between participants whenever possible (using tape to mark the grounds with 6-foot distances).

• Conduct temperature checks upon arrival at the south gate of the club.

• All participants should wear masks, bandanas, buffs, etc. to cover their nose and mouth at all times on Club property.

• Wash stations by the Junior dock: all sailors should wash their hands upon arrival and frequently through- out the day.

• Boats and equipment should be washed after each use by one coach.

• Any common areas, such as equipment storage, changing areas, restrooms, etc. will be cleaned and sani- tized frequently.

• Each sailor will have the same coach for all lessons.

CONGRATULATIONS TO 2020 graduates from high school and collage!!!

With opening day postponed the Junior Commodore Katelyn Roberts will not be able to give her speech in the fall, she will be heading off to college, she had her speech ready so I wanted to share with the members.

*Please see Katelyn’s speech on the following page...

Page 6 Vice Commodore’s Report reetings Coronado Yacht Club members, friends, and distinguished guests, G

There is a saying in sailing: “We may not be able to change the direction of the wind, but we can always adjust our sails.” What if our past represented the direction of the wind, and the decisions we make everyday were similar to us adjusting our sails? Life would be exactly like sailing then. Imagine having perfect wind... pretty hard right? Our pasts are all pretty “shifty”, but the only thing we can do is adjust our sails. My wind shifted so much that life put me on a whole new point of sail, heading towards Coronado Yacht Club.

My name is Katelyn Ashleigh Roberts, and I have been a member of the Coronado Yacht Club since 2014. I have grown from a young, inexperienced sailor, to a very knowledgeable Coronado High School varsity sailor with the support of the Junior Program. I have always been able to use this knowledge whether I am racing on the water or simply teaching others from a coach’s perspective. While I like to consider myself very involved sailing-wise, I have learned it is much more than wind and sails. My role as a Junior Board Member is to demonstrate leadership. I have done this by welcoming new sailors, suggesting creative ideas, inspiring others, and creating a friendly environment. My engagement in volunteer work and fundraising has also illustrated my appreciation for the club.

Coronado Yacht Club has been my second home for the past six years. There is no warmer feeling than walking into a place and having everyone greet you with smiles and ask about your day. Because of this, I have been able to meet new people and get to know everyone in this very close community. Everyone is helpful and supportive of each other. I have only gotten to where I am today because of the positive figures in my life who have helped me grow. I wish to thank Lou Milioti and all of Coronado Yacht Club’s staff for allowing the high school sailing team to call CYC “home”. I am indebted to the great mentors who taught me how to become a sailor: Bryan Lake, Patrick Powell, and of course Jon Rogers.

However, I would have never gotten to where I am today if it weren’t for Jill Powell. She has taught me more than anyone ever has about being a sailor, teammate, and a good person. She does such an amazing job every year, promoting the Junior’s Program and organizing seasonal classes. Not to mention, Jill goes above and beyond to make sure the racing teams always have travel accommodations, as well as, customized clothing and bags. Jill is a smart woman, a great boss, and a supportive friend. Thank you for making my experience at the club memorable. I will deeply miss our chats on Tuesdays and Thursdays.

This fall I will begin another chapter of my life at Michigan State University. I will miss the friendships and memories I have created at Coronado Yacht Club. I know it will always be home to me and welcome me with open arms like it did just six years ago.

As the Junior Commodore of Coronado Yacht Club, I would like to recap by encouraging everyone to adjust your sails when the wind isn’t in your favor, especially during these uncertain times. It might put you on a whole new point of sail and open new doors to you, as it did to me. I am so grateful for all of the opportunities I have had with the junior program, the high school team, and the Junior Board. May my optimism, devotion, and enthusiasm always be remembered.

- Thank you. Katelyn

ello CYC! We are starting to see the COVID restrictions being lifted and enabling members to en- H joy more time on the water. Thanks to the Commodore and the staff for continuing to keep us in- formed of the most current rules and regulations. I recently participated in a virtual training seminar and became certified as a Dockwalker last month. The California Dockwalker program is led by the California Coastal Commission and the California Division of Boating and Water- ways’ Boating Clean and Green Program and is implemented in partnership with The Bay Foundation. The Program educates the boating public as to the importance of being environmentally aware in our interaction with the water. I can now help educate people about best boating management practices and how to have the least impact on the ma- rine environment.

The good news for members is that I have 36 boating kits on order to distribute to club members if you fill out a sur- vey and talk about green boating practices for a few minutes. The kit includes some oil diapers, handouts on state rules and regulations, and a $15.00 West Marine gift certificate -- not a bad deal for a few minutes of your time. I will put out additional details when I receive the kits. Anyone can take the course and become a Dockwalker. Go to http:// dbw.parks.ca.gov/?page_id=29199 for more details if you are interested. There were no new slip assignments last month. See you around the club!

All the best, Mike Dowling Vice Commodore’s Report

ummer is upon us. May was a busy month around the club, well at least virtually. All of our S committee, board and member meetings were virtual meetings held via Microsoft Teams. Thank you for your patience as we adapt to this new reality. Our creative Commodore and Secretary led the effort to produce a virtual opening day ceremony. If you haven’t seen it yet it is fantastic.

The Finance Committee virtually met in May to review our March 2020 financial performance. We are getting bet- ter at Microsoft Teams. A skillset that we didn’t expect to develop. Fortunately we have a great committee who ad- justed and it was a productive meeting. March was the first month of the year affected by the COVID 19 Stay at Home order. Our clubhouse revenues took the sharpest hit. They were off 45%. The bottom line loss was alarming but it was exaggerated by some nonrecurring and unforecasted expenses. The stay at home order is going to put extreme pressure on club finances for the foreseeable future. As I write this article limited food service has re- sumed. The pendulum is swinging back in our favor.

Let’s see what the summer brings. Please wash your hands, wear your mask, be safe and enjoy your family.
