JANUARY 2021 EST. 1913 From the Commodore appy new year! 2021 is here and our future is bright. Unfortunately, I feel a little like Bill Mur- H ray in the movie Ground Hog Day. Here we go again. The governor’s stay at home order is up- on us again. Our management and staff have quickly adjusted to our ever-changing environment. The marina continues to operate in compliance with the county health order and Food and Bev- Commodore Chris DeNardi erage are providing excellent take-out options. We will continue to monitor this situation and adjust as needed. Communication is key these days. Please reach out if you have any questions. January would normally bring us the Old Timer’s Brunch. Unfortunately, we will not be having that event this year. As a proud member of that group, I will miss the event. The San Diego Association of Yacht Clubs Racing Calendar is available, and I am excited that participation is currently allowed under the health order and we will be involved. Our first race on the calendar is January 2nd!! Unfortunately, it appears that take-out dining will be with us for a while. To improve your take-out dining experience the club has invested in new tents and lighting in the lawn area. It has turned out to be a really nice dining option. Our take-out menu will continue to feature weekly specials. Congratulations to all of the participants in the 2020 Holiday Boat Decorating Contest. Your efforts spread the cheer and made the club shine through the holidays. It was a sight to be seen. Thank you Max Gurth, Bob Kevane, Xochitl Ruiz and Discflo for generously sponsoring the contest. A special thank you to all of you who joined me for the Annual Boat Blessing. A fun time was had by all and we picked up the easiest underway of the year, 2020 or 2021. Thank you Staff Commodore Dean and Nancy Eckenroth for providing our stake boat and Chaplain Gary Boggs for the blessings.

Although the nights are longer, and the days are shorter this time of year, your Coronado Yacht Club Food Service Team is anxious to offer you some great menu options in the month of January. Our Prime Rib Night will be on Wednesday, January 13th (preorder by January 11th) and our popular Lobster Tail Night will be offered on Wednesday, January 20th (pre order by January 18th). For those of you that have made New Year’s resolutions to make healthier dining choices in 2021, please be aware that Chef Benito can customize your entre e order to be served with double vegetables instead of starch, proteins can be grilled instead of saute ed, or any other reasonable request to help you meet your goals. Please remember that even if the local Health Order’s pre- vent us from having “In House” or “Patio” dining we have the full menu including our specials available “To Go”. To preorder these specials, please contact the Front Office at [email protected]. Please check out the Weekly Fam- ily Value “To Go” packs available in increments of two which are in our Sunday Weekly Email Blasts. “To Go” preorders may be placed the day of for regular menu items by calling 619 539-3310 after 3pm on Wed & Fri, or after 10am on the weekends. As you fortunate slip holders at CYC are aware that in order to maintain the privilege of having a slip at CYC, you must be actively engaged in yachting and perform two vessel safety checks/underway to the Coronado Bridge and back per year. Failure to meet the underway requirement will result in penalty fees and the risk of losing your slip privileges. To accommodate the COVID boating restrictions which occurred in early 2020 the CYC Board modified the requirement for 2020 to allow for two underway verifications at any time of the year. “Each yacht assigned to and kept in a CYC wet slip or dry slip shall be actively engaged in yachting and be capable of get- ting underway from its slip and performing the underway-yachting activities appropriate to comparable yachts. Each member keeping a yacht in a slip assigned to them at CYC must demonstrate that the yacht is capable of getting underway two times each year, with the member on board, the vessel must be navigated, under its own power to Glorietta Bay buoy # 1 and back to its slip. If the yacht is jointly owned, each joint owner must make the required trip a minimum of two times. The trip must be verified by one of the following: Port Captain, General Manager, Director of Facilities, or a mem- ber of either the Boat Survey Committee or the Board of Directors. If a member or joint owner does not complete the re- quired trip annually prior to December 31st, the member and/or joint owner shall be notified by letter of failure to meet the minimum underway requirement. If the member and/or joint owner has not satisfactorily met the previous year’s un- derway requirement within 30 days of the date of the notice of failure to meet the underway requirement, the member and/or joint owner shall be assessed a penalty, on a monthly basis from January 1st, in an amount equal to the member’s monthly slip fee., until the previous year’s underway requirement is met.”. As always if there is anything that I or our team can do to enhance your membership experience, please contact me at [email protected] or feel free to stop on in.

This is an honor built on a life- Social 0 time and I am humbled by the trust I have been given by our membership. I'm sure Flag Member Total 650 no one who knew me as a Junior Member sailing in the sabot programs, diving for Absent Flag 25% 16 golf balls, spearfishing for stingrays or goofing around the take-out window, would Absent Flag 50% 3 have ever guessed I would end up on a path towards Commodore. In fact, my own Junior Paying 80 family, especially my four little girls, still think it's strange that we get a flag on our Jr. Non-Paying 39 table when we dine at the Club. But, through the four years of serving on the board, Life Flag 4 I have learned so much about our Club, about our Membership, and about our Senior Flag 33 Yachting Community. It has been a wonderful experience and provided great in- Deferred 73 sight for the next three years on the Bridge.
