H I want to start by saying thank you on behalf of Kerri and myself for a recent underway medical emergency. Let me start by saying Kerri is feeling better, and we have appreciated all of the well wishes. Without going into details, we just wanted to say thanks to great friends for realizing there was a problem and taking action to assist – you are all the best! Thanks also to all the members who offered assistance at the dock. It’s comforting to know the CYC family is so willing to help out. On a lighter note, congratulations to our newest slip assignments! Wet Slip assignments: AD04 30’ Trevor Clark AC09 35’ Fred Jay Are you familiar with the slip “Relinquishment” option in the bylaws? The first goals in the CYC bylaws are all about promoting both recreational and competitive boating, and I am a big proponent of seeing members getting out on the water. We have many members on waiting lists who would also love the opportunity to get a slip of their own to take advantage of Glorietta Bay and San Diego Harbor. I know – if you have a slip, we all had to put our time in on those waiting lists ready for our chance to get a slip. A few years back, the membership voted in a “Relinquishment” option to incentivize members who may not be find- ing the time or desire to get out on the bay as much as they used to or planned to. The “Relinquishment” option ena- bles a slip holder to give up their slip but still maintain a priority if they change their mind at a later date. Specifical- ly: Under the Slip Assignment Guidelines in the bylaws, a member who has held a slip for three years, may voluntarily relinquish his/her slip assignment and be placed at the bottom of the bet- ter slip list for that same size slip for a period of three years. Let’s face it, no one really wants to give up a slip they waited so long to get, so this rule offers some incentive and has been used pretty effectively over the past few years to keep the slip list moving. Take a look at the bylaws for more details about this option or give me a call. Did I mention it’s a seller’s market for boats right now? I hope my wife doesn’t read that last line! Be safe, mask up, and have a great August! All the best, Mike Mike Dowling CYC Port Captian Page 35 From the Crow’s Nest By General Manager Lou Milioti y now most of you have seen the new ramps on the turning basin of the club.
