OLYMPIA YACHT CLUB February 2014
Commodore Captain Jeff Pape First Mate Debra Pape M/V Papa’s Dream
hat makes a great club? What does it take for a club to grow and prosper? It takes W people who care, people who give of themselves and people who are willing to serve for the good of the club and each other. For Debra and I, OYC has been a great experience. We did not expect it or plan for it. Admittedly, we joined primarily for monetary reasons. Yes, it did cost less than our previous moorage. Yes, it had the greatest outstation anywhere (Island Home) and then there was the reciprocal moorage. Yes, there is a full service grocery at the top of our ramp. We thought that was enough. Then about seven years ago we decided to go to the Memorial Day cruise, our first OYC event. We were asked to help with the games. A few months later we received a call and were asked to run for Fleet Captain Power. We did not say no. At that time there was no thought of ever being Commodore. Fast forward to today and both of us would tell anyone that we have had a wonderful ride. We now have so many friends at OYC and have the bonus of many more from the Grand 14 clubs. So how is your life? Are you having fun? Have you ever thought…..what if….what if we got more involved? For me doing the same thing over and over is not an option, my attention span is too short. Life is too short to coast, to just be one of the many. We chose to try to make the club we love a better place and to try to make everyone feel wel- come at any OYC event. So if you are thinking….maybe we could…..maybe it would be fun………………..but…..Don’t worry about the buts, you are not alone. There is so much help for the journey. We currently need a Fleet Captain Power and a Rear Commodore. Both are volunteer positions that are easier than you might think. You will have more fun than you can imagine. You will be changed forever and your boating and cruising will never be the same.
Is it your time? Give me a call and let’s talk about it. My cell is 253-882-5950 You won’t regret it

The Beachcomber February 2014 Olympia Yacht Club 2 Vice Commodore Vice Commodore Myra Downing Captain Joe Downing S/V Vintage
Welcome to what I refer to as the “love” month. Yes, Valentine’s Day is com- ing very soon and Gary and Deb Waldherr and their crew have a wonderful evening planned for us. My other love is sailboat racing and February is the month for the biggest south sound race – Toliva Shoal. Let’s hope for big winds so my husband can make it to an evening JO event scheduled for the night of that race. To ensure my attendance, I will be bypassing this race but following it with technology. PS – we’re still looking for chase boats.
The 2014 year started with these warm feelings at the annual January OYC and SSSS joint cruise to Island Home. It was a wonderful event with 35 boats partic- ipating. We had a great time and lots of laughs. My favorite moment though was when our Commodore, Mr. Jeff Pape, made a comment that he hoped people didn’t feel pressured about joining our club and then said, but the doors are locked from the outside and I would be at one door and he would be at the other. It was very funny!
Also in January was the Grand 14 “cruise in” which was held at Queen City Yacht Club’s outstation. It was the opportunity for Mike, Joe, Patti, and I to “roast” our Commodore. We didn’t actually roast him because he is too lovable so we did more of a tribute. Don’t get me wrong - there are a few comical mo- ments which you will see at the June dinner meeting.
Here’s to a month of many opportunities to share the love and reach out to each other in good will.
Sincerely,
Vice Commodore Myra Downing Captain Joe Downing S/V Vintage
PS – with all the good things going on at our club and now with the membership drive – people would be crazy not to join!

We are nearing the end of the dredge project so here are few items for you, the member, to take care of be- fore you return to the basin. Please check your slip before returning to make sure it is as you left it. If you have a boathouse in the dredge path, please check the back of both your boat and your boathouse for any damage. I was on site everyday but was not able to watch 100% of the time. As of this writing we do not have any answers on whether or not we will be required to place a sand cap in the 100 dock area. The ten- tative completion date for the dredge is February 6th if all goes well.
As most of you probably have heard, we are running a “Boat Show” special on membership. The initiation fee will be $700.00 and if the new member moves their boat into the basin, it drops to $250.00. The Mem- bership Committee has set a goal of 40 new members so if you have friends or family who have been inter- ested in joining……. NOW is the time! Let’s all pitch in and sell OYC to perspective new members.
The Safety Chairman, PC Richard Erwin, took a nasty fall at home and fractured his femur. He will be out of commission for several weeks so if you have a safety concern, please call me or the Chair of Island Home, Gary Gronley, or the Chair of Mainstation, Ron Vukonich.
I will be out of town for a few days as we are headed to Orlando to watch our Granddaughter compete in the National Dance and Drill competition. If you should have any questions regarding the dredge and the movement of boats, please call PC Ted Shann.
My phone is always on so if you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact me. I am here to serve the members of OYC.

Even though we see peeks of Spring, it is still the FLU SEASON! The hospital ERs are overflowing and people are really getting sick and a few are dying. It is still not too late to get immunized. It doesn’t prevent all illness, but drastical- ly reduces the chance of being hospitalized or worse.

The History Corner Lisa Mighetto, OYC Historian
The OYC has always encouraged young boaters – and the junior sailing program, which dates from the 1930s, provides an excellent example. The report below from 1938 indicates that in addition to racing, young sailors at OYC attended a skiing trip to Mt. Rainier, where they “had a lot of fun trying to jibe and tack on the slippery staves.” It sounds like junior members also served as flag officers in the club. Next month’s column will feature a history of the youth sailing program.

Membership Committee ………...…more New Years Eve Bill Wilmovsky, Chair
The expertise of our club seems to grow with every new member. Gary and Brenda Nichols are among our newest but they’ve spent all their lives boating. Without giving away ages…counting up those years would take all your fingers and toes plus a few more.
Gary includes four years in the Navy and a stint in the Ber- ing Sea as a commercial fisherman skippering a 164 foot salmon boat. You get a job like that because he and Brenda spent a number of “vacations” on their own commercial crab and salmon boat fishing out of Westport.
For day jobs he worked 28 years at Kaiser aluminum and she went from a supervisor at Washington Natural Gas to the Attorney Generals’ office in Tacoma. Retired now and living in Hammersley Inlet not too far from Island Home, they have downsized to a 37 foot Tollycraft sedan named Sealyon. One suspects they can run her in their sleep. ______
If you hear ghosts in Kathy Moore’s old boat house, it may just be our newest members from Vancouver, George and Eileen Soli. They are moving their 34 foot Tol- lycraft tricabin, Lone Star, to OYC but they still live “just across the river from the Portland Yacht Club.”
She is a country girl who was once 1969 Alternate Cowlitz County Dairy Princess, but he grew up in Everett. His Dad owned the American Tug Company so George spent a lot of time on the water and worked his way through high school and college on a tug boat. He is trying to sell a 31 foot Uniflite he’s had in Anacortes for a decade. He also has an aluminum Starcraft with a big Mercury on the stern. Meanwhile Eileen’s dad got her into boats with a wooden jet boat on the Lewis River.
How they got together is a short novel, but it happened when George left his job as a physicist at Cal Tech for the commercial world in Beaverton, Oregon. If his personality glows, it may be because he worked in radiation testing and interstellar telescopes. Eileen is still busy as a professional grandmother with a degree in commercial art, but her last grandchild is off to school soon so she may have more time to play…....or take care of her acre of property in Vancou- ver.
