By Port Captain Mike Dowling

ello CYC! 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

y now most of you have seen the new ramps on the turning basin of the club. Thank you to Pro- B ject Manager Director Wallace, Facilities Chair Dave “Krockie”, and Fabian and team for the suc- cessful installation. They will serve the club well into the future, although we will miss the mandatory “jumping jack “exercises while transiting on the old ones. With the lack of additional party and social event revenues ($185,000.00 budgeted for 2020) and non-budgeted addi- tional sanitation/sterilization requirements to operate the club, COVID has had a negative impact on CYC finances. Although the staff has been attempting to lower club operating costs and renegotiating best pricing with our vendors, we are forecasting a substantial loss for fiscal 2020. The Finance Committee has had a firm grasp and awareness of the pulse of the clubs finances thus far this year, and is currently developing strategic opportunities to present to the membership for the best way to financially navigate through this crisis and plan for success in 2021. As we pivot yet again for member dining options at the club, we are now offering “Dining on the Deck”, hoping to pro- vide you, the membership, with some sense of normalcy in the form of a nice night out. The dining rules require fully masked employees, pre-shift health checks, socially distanced tables, and strict sanita- tion guidelines — a complete 180 from the intimacy formerly associated with dining out that we have provided for you to enjoy at CYC in the past. “The old model of hospitality with many people touching your table, and closeness to others, that’s gone,” says Beatrice Stein, a New York City-based restaurant consultant. “In this new world, trust is the new hospitality. If people trust you and can see that you have made changes to your service-that is hospitality.” Please find below what you can expect when “Dining on the Deck” at CYC... • All team members will wear facial coverings.

• Health screenings with temperature checks upon staff arrival each day.

• Anyone who displays symptoms of illness will be asked to stay home.

• Frequent hand washing with soap and warm water.

• Social/physical distancing.

• Members are required to wear facial coverings whenever not at their table.

• Members must check in at the front entrance, as this will be the only point of entrance and access to the din- ing host.

• All “Dining on the Deck” services will require a reservation. Reservations can be made for up to 10 people.

• Table seating is limited to members of the same household or members who have asked to be seated togeth- er.

• A touchless menu or single use disposable menu will be offered.

• Table spacing will be at the recommended six feet apart.

• You will have multiple team members taking care of you during your dining experience, this will limit cross- contamination while still being able to provide expedient service.

• Your dishes will be removed once per table at the end of your dining experience to minimize cross contamina- tion and to maximize safety for staff and members.

• Upon request a tray and stand will be placed next to your table for self-bussing and only removed once by staff.

Page 4 We have placed these protocols in place by reviewing best practices from numerous approved COVID re- sources so that our valued staff may provide the best membership experience for you to enjoy in a safe, responsible, and legal manner.

Our “To Go” food offerings will continue to be offered during our regular hours of 5:00 pm to 8:00 pm on Wednes- day and Friday evenings, as well as our full Weekend Menu being offered on Saturdays and Sundays from 9:00 a.m. to 5:30 p.m.

CYC will continue to offer our “To Go” curbside pickup to minimize cross flow 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. We have a special phone number 619-539-3310 to pre-order our “To Go” offerings, which takes orders beginning at 2:00pm on Wednesday/Fridays, and 9:00am on the weekends and holidays.

CYC will continue to provide takeout, and delivery within the Coronado Community to our membership. I greatly appreciate the tremendous support that you, the membership, has shown our staff during this crisis and the superb leadership the Board has demonstrated during the crisis.

As always, if there is anything my staff or I can do to improve your membership experience at CYC, please don’t hes- itate to contact me at [email protected] or stop by when you are at the club.

Vice Commodore’s Report

By Vice Commodore Chris DeNardi

e are over 4 months into our COVID-19 influenced club experience. Could it be that times fly even when you’re W not having as much fun? We are members of a dynamic club that continues to pivot and provide an excellent member experience in these challenging times.

During our July Finance Committee meeting we discussed May’s club financial performance. The club continues to op- erate at a loss. With limited Food and Beverage opportunities, increased costs of service, and no private party oppor- tunities, the struggle continues and will likely continue as long as we are bound by the COVID-19 County of San Diego Health order. We are finalizing some ideas to help tide us over until the environment improves. Members can expect a series of surveys and virtual workshops in the near future to solicit feedback and evaluate our options going forward.

The results of our 2018/19 club financial audit were presented at the July Board of Directors meeting. A special thank you to the members of the Coronado Yacht Club Ad Hoc Audit Committee; S/C Dean Eckenroth, Rob Gilliland and Geoff Lillegraven. Their efforts went a long way towards ensuring we received a valuable report. Overall the club’s finances are robust despite the fact that we had to make a very large adjustment to prior periods to correct some problems in the presentation of Projects in Process. There were also some recommended enhancements to the ac- counting controls that already have/or will be implemented in the next 45 days. The audit and committee report are on file and in the meeting minutes. I encourage you to take a look. You will be pleased with the strength of our club’s finances.

By Chaplain Gary Boggs

n what has been one of the strangest years of my life, I find myself amazed that seven months of 2020 are I already passed. The year began as so many other years here at CYC, the blessing of the fleet on New Years Day, with hopes and prayers for prosperity and safety. Little did any of us know that day where the next seven months would lead us! We have all experienced things we could scarcely imagine; fear, panic, and severe uncer- tainty about the future have gripped our nation, there are so many unanswered questions. If there ever was a time to stop and consider our place in the great scheme of things, it is now! As your chaplain I have always maintained a prayer vigil for the members and staff of CYC. I know that not everyone believes as I do, but over the years I have never been bashful in sharing my belief in the power of prayer to the Almighty God who creat- ed the universe! I have prayed over boats, pets, babies, weddings and memorial services for our dearly departed. I have officiated over the scattering of ashes at sea. I have stood by for folks in times of need and sat at bedsides praying for those about to depart this world. I have laughed and at times cried with so many here at our club. It has always been and hope it will continue to be my honor to serve you all. I’m not looking for a pat on the back or even an “atta boy”, I just want to inject a little hope in these crazy times! I guess you could say I am “duty bound” to take the stance to say to each and every one that, yes these are un- certain times, but as a nation, we’ve been through worse times than these; The Revolutionary War, Racial divi- sion that led to Civil War, two World wars, Korea, Viet Nam, Iraq, Iran, Afghanistan and natural disasters of all kinds. We will get through this “pandemic” also but it is time to return to the God given moral principles that this great nation was founded upon. It’s truly time to pray like never before. There are those who want to re- move any reference to God from the public eye, There are those who choose to believe there is no God, we might ask how that’s working for them? Violence, hatred, anarchy in the streets, taking God out of the equation is not the answer. Spreading a little joy and peace, is the better way. Praying for people, even people we find hard to like much less love, is the beginning. It’s easy to love your neighbor and hate your enemy. But the Lord said in Matthew 5:44 “love your enemies, bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you, and pray for those who spitefully use you and persecute you…” These are strange and tough times we live in, but you are not alone! Recognize the God of the universe, if you don’t, perhaps it’s time! See if you recall these words from a sixties song that ring true: “There’s a world where I can go and tell my secrets to, in my room, in my room….In this world I lock out all my worries and my fears…do my dreaming and my scheming, lie awake and pray, do my crying and my sighing, laugh at yesterday. Now it’s dark and I’m alone but, I won’t be afraid in my room, in my room” I’ve never forgotten those words from the Beach Boys and I’ve also never forgotten these words: “But you, when you pray, go into your room, and when you have shut your door, pray to your Father who is in the secret place; and your Father who sees in secret will reward you openly.” Matthew 6:6. As always Take care of one another, watch out for one another, and love one another. May you have fair winds and follow- ing seas. Chaplain out….!

t is hard to believe July is over! Juniors had a great summer camp; it was a little short, limited I on boats and less sailors, but we had a safe fun camp. I’m working on the fall schedule and hope to have something online by mid-August. I’m just waiting for the school schedule to come out. I would like to offer classes mid-day for sailors to get out of the house if they are not in school. Look on the junior’s website for more details in August. Coronado sailors attended the Sabot ll South Championships at Southwestern YC on July 7th, this is for sabot racers that are under 12. Congratulations to Chris Rose, Kevin Cason, Bella Cason, Katherine Zohn and Nik Anderson. Chris and Kevin placed top 10. Still no regattas on the calendar. We should have updates from PCISA, INSA and SCYYRA this week, or by the 1st of August. We are looking forward to traveling to other clubs for regattas, but for now the sailors are getting good practice and will be ready for the winter if not sooner. I want to thank my summer coaches: Trey Summer, Mercy Tangredi, Jett Jennings, Crew Fritsch, Soenke Jor- dan, Emma Yakutis, Jackie Mullen and Coach Jon. These coaches work hard to make camp fun and safe for these sailors, I appreciate all they do for us. Wish I had more to report. Have a safe August and I look forward to seeing everyone on the water.

Page 8 Vice Commodore’s Report Cruiser Navigation Report

By Cruiser Navigation Chair Dave Weimer

Hello to All: he COVID–19 restrictions continue to impact our sport of cruiser navigation. As noted in our T last Whisker Pole, the San Diego Cruiser Association is still sponsoring monthly contests within the framework of the County and Port virus guidelines. However, it is unclear whether these guidelines and the compromises they represent will enable our team to compete on a national level this year. All other national cruis- er associations are facing similar uncertainties. A couple of our cruiser navigation team members continue to participate in the monthly Saturday rallies on the water, and represent our Club accordingly. A recent fallout from the virus restrictions has been San Diego Yacht Club’s planned hosting of the North American Invitational (NAI) Regatta in September, including our Club’s support and participation as well. The national “umbrella” organization, The North American Cruiser Association, has decided that the regatta, including the vari- ous venue events, was not a feasible plan under the current and anticipated virus restrictions in San Diego. Thus, the NAI Regatta for 2020 has been cancelled and rescheduled again in San Diego for 2021. This is only the second time this Regatta has been cancelled in the last 47 years, the previous time being 1999 when a hurricane threatened the Regatta planned by the host, St. Petersburg Yacht Club, in Florida. Despite all the restrictions, our CYC team is taking advantage of this “time out,” to continue maintaining our ves- sels. Magnus has been busy with his paint brush on “Lolita’s” cabin, Jeff has just successfully completed a haul-out of “Living Well” to renew the bottom paint and correct some thru-hull issues. And I’m proudly showing off new brightwork varnish and a new CYC burgee, in addition to needed repairs on “Just Desert’s” head system and genera- tor. Like other Club members, we all enjoy being at the marina, supporting our Club, and enjoying the fresh air while maintaining our boats. We continue to solicit new contestants to represent our Club in our sport of Cruiser Navigation. We need “new blood,” and are anxious to help others get started and participate with us on the water as soon as all the re- strictions permit. Please contact Magnus, Jeff or myself to explore how you might join our challenging sport, and enjoy the participation and camaraderie of competing on the water each month. See all of you on the water soon.

Feb.15th Arrive Cabo (San Lucas) @0700. Beautiful, sunny -Charlie day. Spectacular view of the hotels, rocks, and boats. I have- n't been here for 18 years so the 200 or so boats were quite a shock. Cabo is one of the main cruising "intersections" of the world, and because of that has its own special charm. It has two purposes; one to succor the cruising boater, the other to support the fly-in, ferry-in tourist trade. Cabo is no longer the sleepy cannery village I used to know and the remoteness has gone, but its transformation isn't all bad either. At Cabo you can anchor either in or out, "in" being the man-made inner basin built for the Puerto Vallarta Fer- ry. "Out" is along the beach wherever you can find shallow water - it drops off fast. We tour the inner harbor and find a spot not far from the racers "Lone " and "Haha Ho", who are on their way north from Manzanillo. We can't swim here but it's closer to town and we row. On ferry days (2 a week) we must clear out. Outside boats have great swimming. First thing we do after the hook is down is get on the 0800 Cabo Net. This is a daily event here and lasts about an hour. The net records arrivals and departures dis- penses info on local regulations, where to go, etc., and acts as the local flea market, talent exchange and event promot- er. Operation of the net is passed from hand to hand and Jeannie of "Salacia", a recent visitor to Coronado, was run- ning the show while we were there, After the net we pre- pared for the big trip ashore - immigration, port captain clearance and a pass at the local markets. Busy day, no longer are we carefree - back to civilization. Add to that the

reetings from the water’s edge! The year is more G than half over, and we are ¾ of the way through the Rod & Reel qualifying season. While 2020, as a year can just fly past and be forgotten, we are really just sliding into the prime fishing season. As the water warms up yellowfin tuna, bluefin, dorado and yellowtail are all literally making a splash just offshore. Notable catches have already been recorded, despite the challenges that COVID-19 has put in our path. Yet, the best is yet to come. It is with much reluctance that we had to cancel all of the fishing tournaments for the year. Mike and I had thought to just hold a CYC members event, but the logistics are just too challenging, if it means placing our club in jeopardy with the authorities. Until such restrictions are lifted, the best we can do is “buddy boat” offshore, or share tales and photos along the dock, “de rigeur” masks, and 6 foot dis- tancing, of course. Speaking of tales and photos, a late entry into the fishing log indicates a 40 lb yellowfin tuna was caught aboard “Wrigley” by Sean Fallmer. This is a great fish, caught by a CYC Flag member, on a CYC boat. The fish was caught near the “302”, a high spot about 30 miles offshore. For those The fish weighed 193 and 130 pounds, respectively.
