Important harvest information for the past year is not available until early in the subsequent year and the management process takes several months, so regulatory changes are not final until mid-April of each year, while this publication goes to press about February 1. Accordingly, on or about May 1 of each year the Division publishes a stand alone brochure titled the Massachusetts Saltwater Recreational Fishing Regulatory Abstracts containing the current year’s regulations. These are widely distributed to bait and tackle stores along the coast. In addition, our web site regulation section is updated on a real time basis as regulations change. We urge all anglers to pick up the most current edition of the abstracts or go to http://www.mass.gov/dfwele/dmf/recreationalfishing/rec_index. htm to print out a copy.

    Boston Harbor Islands Partnership Meeting Minutes Hale & Dorr, 60 State Street, 26th Floor June 15, 2004, 3:00 PM – 4:45 PM Attendees: Joe Ferrino and Bill Hale—Boston Harbor Islands Advisory Council; Cathy Douglas Stone and Andrea d’Amato—City of Boston, Department of Environmental Services; Maynard Goldman and Tom Powers—Island Alliance; Marianne Connolly for Fred Laskey—Massachusetts Water Resources Authority (MWRA); George Price and Terry Savage—National Park Service (NPS). Cathy Douglas Stone, Vice-chair, called the meeting to order. A motion was made to approve the minutes of the meeting held on May 18, 2004. The motion was unanimously approved. Opening Comments Maynard Goldman enthusiastically introduced Tom Powers, the new President of Island Alliance. Tom said that this was his first official day in the position and that he was looking forward to working with everyone. Peddocks Island Doug Welch, Island Alliance, reported that the team continues to work with the Massachusetts Historical Commission as they investigate geology and potential groundwater sources on the island. Drilling is expected to commence next week. Doug said that they submitted a grant to the Amelia Peabody Foundation for $1M to rehabilitate the chapel on the island. Based on previous successes with the foundation and a letter written by John F. Kennedy supporting the restoration of the chapel, they are hopeful that it is a compelling project. Doug said that the asbestos remediation of the guardhouse will begin this summer. Bargmann Hendrie & Archetype is managing the project which is funded by the NPS and Duke Energy remediation monies. This will be a very visible project; informational signs will be placed on the island to educate visitors about the work.

    AUSTIN YACHT CLUB TELLTALE October 2020 AYC October Surprise – Fall Fling Fleet Regatta FEATURED: J 80 Fleet J80s upwind, October 2020 informal race, skippers left to right: David Wahlberg, Mark Foster, Terry Schertz Photo by Bill Records Message from the Commodore How to Be a Part of the Process Recently some members have questioned how to bring their ideas for and concerns about the Club to the attention of the Board of Directors. How do they gain insight into how decisions are made and how priorities are set? The individual Commanders (Harbor, Race, Buildings & Grounds, Sail Training) and their committees are the first line of access to the Board for issues/ideas that fall within their purview. Operational issues about the day to day workings of the Club or facilities should be brought to the attention of the General Manager and the Commodore. The Vice Commodore is the contact for AYC regattas. The Secretary is the contact for the Directory and Website and the Past Commodore is the contact for Membership issues. For large projects that may take a few years to put aside the necessary funding, the Long Range Planning Committee is involved. Please engage with the appropriate Commander or group if you have an idea for the Club or if you have a concern. Please remember that the Commanders are all volunteers, it may take them a few days to get back to you. The Commanders will assess and address issues that can be dealt with in the short term. For items that require expenditures over $1,500 or are a capital improvement and add assets to the Club, Board approval is required.

  • June/July 2021
    Folsom Lake Yacht Club June/July 2021 THE TELLTALE SMOOTH SAILING SINCE 1956 Commodore's Corner - Kerry Johnson Unmask and Sail! Yea! According to news reports, California is easing most Covid-19 restrictions. The State is supposedly keeping the mask mandate, but the CDC says that if vaccinated you can go maskless in small gatherings. We are very close to getting back to “normal" and that means we can start having in-person club social functions, like member meetings, BBQs and … Cup Boat Races? By now, you received an email from me regarding a new race series expanding on the annual Cup Boat Regatta, which is normally held in August. For those unfamiliar with Cup Boat Racing, it's a social event in which competitors build boats out of one Styrofoam cup, straws, tape, mylar sails and pennies for ballast. The Folsom Lake Yacht Club 1 Folsom Lake Yacht Club June/July 2021 boats are then raced in the host’s pool using shop fans for wind. Racing starts after everyone enjoys socializing and a BBQ. It is a great family event. Considering that club racing has been swamped by pandemic restrictions and low water, after some discussion with board members, I figured now's the time to raise a first shape on socializing again. It's long overdue and considering so many of us are vaccinated or now drilled to wear masks if not, let's hold a sailing-oriented social event that gets us together in person. So, the Cup Boat Regatta is expanding from one to three races with additional poolside gatherings planned for June and July.

  • Sunken Season
    Folsom Lake Yacht Club Apr/May, 2020 FO THE TELLTALE SMOOTH SAILING SINCE 1956 Sunken Season In late March, Governor Gavin Newsom announced the closure of parking at 98 state parks, including Folsom Lake State Recreation Area. That announcement followed FLYC’s decisions to cancel the final two Spring Series races, the 54th Camellia Cup Regatta and the Trans-Folsom Regatta, because of the ongoing Covid-19 Pandemic. At press, there are mixed predictions of how long the pandemic will require self-isolation, varying from two weeks to three months. Some say things won’t be back to normal until September. There’s only one way to describe 2020. It’s the Sunken Season, one that has sunken hopes, sunken spirits and that has, for an undetermined period, sunken sailing on Folsom Lake. While the 2020 season in underwater, it’s not yet completely out of sight. The club hopes to refloat it starting in May with Beer Can Races on Wednesday nights, Friday night Sunset Series races and the Lady and the Tramp Regatta on May 9. That is, unless Folsom Lake SRA remains closed and social distancing stays as currently ordered. Stay tuned at FLYC.org. Folsom Lake Yacht Club 1 Folsom Lake Yacht Club Apr/May, 2020 Should an “All-Clear” be sounded, Lady and the Tramp would be FLYC’s first post-pandemic regatta. COMMODORE’S COLUMN – KERRY JOHNSON “Sail Safe” Has New Meaning I’m sure I don’t have to tell you that these are strange and trying times. Although my job as Commodore is to take care of club business, my foremost concern right now is everyone’s health and safety.
