View from the Helm Private Ear NEWSLETTER OF PRIVATEER YACHT CLUB Lake Chickamauga Chattanooga, TN January 2012 www.privateeryachtclub.org Peter Snyder, Editor [email protected] all Y’all, VIEW FROM THE HELM Ahoy January 2012 I am truly excited about this year! I have to be honest and past Commodore and now nominating committee member, say that hasn’t always been the case. In fact, I was in the grip Kent Overbeck, gave me a dissertation on how great it was of the devil’s ally — fear. I have this problem. I know what going to be as Commodore. I wasn’t buying it! Then he prom- I’m capable of, and I’m my own worst critic if I don’t live up ised me a field white with harvest. That helped a little, but fear to that standard. doesn’t give up easily. Then I got a call from this slow, low and sweet-talking south- Then he pulled out the final arrow in his quiver, and this one ern gentleman with an infatuation for small green critters. Yes, was laser-guided, fusion technology, carbon fiber constructed with a titanium tip. He shattered that bubble of fear with this final arrow, which was this year’s slate of officers. When he read the names to me, my blood pressure diminished 50 points, my pulsed slowed, my respirations returned to deep calming breaths and I said to myself, “I can do this with these great people”. The calm that came over me was similar to the calm I expe- rienced in the Atlantic that allowed me to sleep with the wind meter pegged at 50 knots and 25 foot seas. This calm was sim- ilar to the calm I felt when all @#$% broke loose in this year’s Mackinac race. A calm that only comes when you know you are in the hands of God and he is going to use this experience to strengthen you to glorify himself later. I was no longer in the grip of fear, but only heard the words “God is here, peace be with you”. I would like to thank last year’s board for the tremendous amount of work that was done. It was truly an amazing year. I am lucky in the fact that I am going to benefit from the con- tinued support of many members of last year’s board. David Varnell, who served as Past Commodore in 2011, will con- tinue on as leader of the clubhouse renovation. Pete Sny- der will continue to work his magic with The Private Ear and continues to slave over our new website. I tire to think of the work that has gone into this. photo by mike rasbury - continued on page 2 COMING EVENTS Check the PYC website for more info. CSC events are open to all PYC members.

  • Sailing Comprises Wind Propulsion of a Craft by Means of Sails Or Other Airfoils and Steering It Over Water, Ice Or Land, Depending on the Type of Craft
    Sailing - Wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sailing From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Sailing comprises wind propulsion of a craft by means of sails or other airfoils and steering it over water, ice or land, depending on the type of craft. A sailor manages the force of the wind on the sails by adjusting their angle with respect to the moving sailing craft and sometimes by adjusting the sail area. The force transmitted from the sails is resisted by forces from the hull, keel, and rudder of a sailing craft, by forces from skate runners for an iceboat, and by forces from wheels for a land sailing craft to allow steering a course on a point of sail with respect to the true wind. While there are still some places in the world where sail-powered passenger, fishing and trading vessels are used, these craft have become rarer as internal combustion engines have become economically viable in even the poorest and most remote areas. In most countries sailing is enjoyed as a recreational activity or as a sport. Recreational sailing or yachting can be divided into racing and cruising. Cruising can include extended offshore and ocean-crossing trips, coastal sailing within sight of land, and daysailing.

    New Horizons Project: Seniors Interviewing Seniors - Valuing and Sharing Rural Narratives Citation: New Horizons Project: Seniors Interviewing Seniors - Valuing and Sharing Rural Narratives (268 pp.) Mersey Tobeatic Research Institute, Kempt, Nova Scotia 2015 Printed on 100% post-consumer paper New Horizons Project: Seniors Interviewing Seniors - Valuing and Sharing Rural Narratives INTRODUCTION Seniors Interviewing Seniors: Valuing and Sharing Rural Narratives was a project co-ordinated by the Mersey Tobeatic Research Institute (MTRI) in the summer and fall of 201. The communtiy-based project of provided seniors an opportunity to preserve the oral history of western Annapolis County and Queens County. The goal was to reach out to seniors and involve them in interviews relevant to their past livelihood in terms of their skills, knowledge and experience on topics such as past land use, lifestyles, forestry practices, farming, wildlife, and concerns for the future. Through sharing their memories and anecdotes, local seniors provided a comprehensive overview of the past lifestyles, communities and biospheres of these counties. This historical knowledge and information is important to record as it is in danger of being lost as our population ages and it will help in understanding changes in land use, and vegetation and animal populations in southwestern Nova Scotia. The project also addressed concerns regarding the isolation of seniors by encouraging their social participation and inclusion. The participants felt respected and valued as their knowledge, observations and opinions were sought. The information that seniors shared gave valuable insights that MTRI and others with interests in the biosphere and history of the area can use in future research and initiatives.
