Congratulations Commodore Steve Hyder and Lady Pam EMBROIDERY Tammy Darr 419-340-7257 [email protected] 2 Inter-Lake Yachting Association 2020 From the Commodore Greetings from the Bridge! First let me start out by stating what an honor and privilege it is to be the Commodore of I-LYA. When I was elected, I had no idea what 2020 was going to bring. We put together our Boat Show plans and kicked off 2020 on the road to great success. As we are all aware, the world came to a screeching halt with the pandemic. We had to cancel our Spring meeting and then we had to cancel what would have been the 65th year of Junior Bay. Pam and I were really looking forward to that event. After the tough decision to cancel, we turned our focus to this yearbook. I am sure you can imagine the difficulty in obtaining sponsors and ads needed to publish the yearbook as everything was closed and/or communication was delayed. To say the least, 2020 has been an incredibly challenging year thus far. What I have learned most about this organization is the spirit of not want- ing to give up. The Board of Trustees, the Yachtsmen’s Fund, the Bridge, the past commodores, and of course, this membership are stepping up and work- ing tremendously hard to make the second half of 2020 the best it can be. The Sailing Regatta is still on schedule to move forward on July 29 – August 1. The Sail Committee is working extremely hard to make sure everyone has a great time on the water while maintaining safe distancing on shore. The same is happening with the Power Regatta scheduled for August 4 – 9. The Power Steve Hyder Regatta committee is working non-stop to make sure the regatta is safe and 2020 I-LYA Commodore everyone has a great time. The Regattas will be held and we will practice all the safety recommenda- tions from the CDC. We are boaters and we enjoy the greatest natural resource that God has given us. The Regattas will allow us to take time away from this crazy world, enjoy the camaraderie with one another, and see friends perhaps not seen since last year. This is what the Regattas are about. I-LYA The unbelievably dedicated people I have met throughout the three years I Event Dates have served are humbling and they make our organization unstoppable. Each year the Commodore recognizes just a few that stand out. This year Bruce 2020 Sattler was awarded 2020 Yachtsman of the Year. The 2020 Yacht Union Racing Cancelled Spring Meeting Trophy went to Rear Commodore Mike Fishbaugh, and the 2020 Skipper of Cancelled Junior Bay Week the Year is Brian Moyer. The 2020 Commodore’s Award was presented to July 29–31 Deepwater Races Leslie Hill. These recipients truly represent the hardworking dedication of all our members. July 31– Aug. 2 Sail Regatta This year I-LYA lost three wonderful ladies who dedicated their time and Aug. 4–9 Junior & Senior energy to the continued success of our organization: 1981 Lady Kay Drake, Powerboat Regattas 1989 Lady Marilyn Krotseng, 1995 Lady Carol Mock. All of you will be deeply Dec. 11–12 Fall Meeting at missed. Sail on in peace! the Sheraton Detroit As we all know, there is no way anyone can go through their Commodore Metro Airport year alone and without the support of the perfect first mate. Lady Pam has stood by me and has truly been my anchor and support throughout this very tough year. I hope to see all of you at this year’s regattas. Please enjoy the lake and stay safe. Very truly yours, Steven M. Hyder 2020 Commodore Inter-Lake Yachting Association 2020 3 4 Inter-Lake Yachting Association 2020 Meet the Commodore 2020 Commodore Steve Hyder was born and raised in Adrian, MI. Steve worked as an apprentice electri- cian while going to high school and college. He attended Eastern Michigan University and graduated with a bach- elor’s degree in Public Law & Government and a minor in Communications. After graduation, Steve changed direc- tions and became an EMT. After several years of working as an EMT, he decided to pursue his dream of becom- ing an attorney and received his Juris Doctorate from Thomas Cooley School of Law in 2006. Steve is a man of many talents — electrician, paramedic, and attorney! Steve became active on the water at an early age as he loved fishing with his father. His family purchased a cot- tage on Devil’s Lake, and this is where he could be found every spring/summer weekend, always doing something on the water including scuba diving. However, the lake Steve and Pam fun did not stop in the summer, as Steve enjoyed snow- mobiling on the frozen lake in the winter, too. Steve has held a multitude of positions in boat clubs and boating organi- zations. He became a member of Detroit Beach Boat Club in 2004, served as Entertainment Chairman in 2007, eventually going through the chairs to become Commodore in 2010. He then went on to serve for the Associated Yacht Clubs as Nominating Committee member in 2011, Sergeant-at-Arms in 2012, Rear Commodore (2013), Vice Commodore (2014), and was the 2015 AYC Commodore. In addition, Steve has served as AYC Ways & Means chairman in 2017 and 2019. Steve is also a co-chairman of the 2021 AYC Commodore’s Ball. While Steve was serving DBBC and AYC, he became very involved in I-LYA. He was, consecutively, the Power Regatta Secretary, Treasurer, Vice Chairman, and then Chairman from 2009–2012. Steve has also served on the Yachtsmen’s Fund and I-LYA Trustee Board. Steve is a Life Member of the Yachtsmen’s Fund. Steve met Lady Pam at one of the multiple boating functions they both attend. Steve and Pam enjoy making lifelong friends from all around Lake Erie. They both love Put-in-Bay and go every chance they can. Steve and Pam joined Put-in-Bay Yacht Club (PIBYC) in 2018 and have made even more friends since then. In late August, Steve can be found on a football field every Friday evening refereeing high school football. Yes, he has been knocked down a few times, but loves the game! Steve and Pam spend as much time as possible on the water where all their worries float away. In off-boating season, they can be found attending mul- tiple boating events representing DBBC, AYC, and I-LYA. Steve and Pam also try to work in a vacation or two in the winter months to one of their favorite vacation spots (always near or on the water). Steve is honored to have been elected to the position of I-LYA Commodore for 2020. Despite facing many challenges with our recent pandemic, he is committed to leading this great organization. Inter-Lake Yachting Association 2020 5 6 Inter-Lake Yachting Association 2020 Detroit Beach Boat Club Detroit Beach Boat Club was founded in 1939 by 32 men who all lived within the Detroit Beach Association subdivision. A single dock, which was home to a dozen boats, extended into Sandy Creek and the open waters of Lake Erie. A small garage-sized building was the gathering place. Early years saw little growth as the country was heavily focused on the war effort. Eventually, however, as fuel became more plentiful, fishermen gave way to families who enjoyed cruising on the lake and visiting neighboring clubs.
