JUNE 2020 EST. 1913 From the Commodore reetings Coronado Yacht Club Members, G I hope this month’s Whisker Pole meets you happy and healthy. We are beginning to emerge from the COVID 19 Quarantine and return to somewhat of a normal life. The current plan is to have the club restaurant open with limited seating by June 1st and initially, the “To-Go” menu only. As the Commodore Scott Grimes city and yacht club begins to open more and more, I ask that you continue to adhere to the rules set by the County Health Department and help keep our Club, Members, and Staff safe. As you are aware, the COVID 19 Pandemic caused Coronado Yacht Club to cancel our 89th Memorial Day Weekend Opening Day Ceremony. At the last minute, Treasurer Robin MacCartee conceived the idea of an Opening Day video to continue our tradition. Robin created the Opening Day video in less than one week. He found a videographer and quick- ly edited the Opening Day script to condense the run time. We then scrambled to record the script in advance, and then solicit participation from associated yacht clubs & associations, dignitaries, government agencies, the Junior Commo- dore & Board and Staff Commodores. Navy Lt. Bruce Mansfield Director, US Navy Band Southwest had committed to have Navy Band Southwest play at this year’s Opening Day, and instead recorded several military hymns and Navy Band Singer MU3 Taylor Johns to sing the National Anthem. Harbor Police Chief Stainbrook & Community Policing Sergeant T.D. De La Pen᷉a arranged to have a Harbor Police patrol boat visit Glorietta Bay and shoot the fire monitors in honor of Memorial Day and our Opening Day Ceremony. Congratulations to Mark Surber and the Crew of Snoopy, winners of the 2019 Transpac award and Heather and Chuck Furey as the winner of the Fleet Captains award for Blond Furey. The video was only possible because of the quick replies with videos, and extraordinary cooperation of those who participated. Treasurer Robin MacCartee has my deepest appreciation for pulling together the video! As soon as we can “gather” again, we will host an Opening Day Party to com- plete our opening day tradition. The Club looked great as many members dressed ship and the large US & P.O.W Flags were flown from the sail drying masts. I understand we distribut- ed almost 200 drink tickets for dressing ship! I would also like to thank every- one for following the rules regarding social distancing and face masks. Consid- ering the city is beginning to open, the great weather and the traditional boat- ing weekend. It appears everyone did great and there were not any issues that I am aware of. Commodore Grimes & Treasurer MacCartee May also brought our Semi-Annual Meeting which was held virtually on Mi- crosoft Teams. There were no motions on the agenda, however, the Board and Flag Officers all gave in-depth reports of their respective positions. It was announced that at the May Board of Directors meeting, a motion was passed to post- pone the first underway requirement for vessels berthed at CYC in wet or dry slips. Now both underway trips will need to be completed by Decem- ber 31, 2020. Out of respect for the information and communication overload in the past few months, I will make this article short, and close by wishing you all a great summer! Bridget & I hope you remain happy, healthy and safe. -Scott Grimes Commodore 2020 2020 CYC Dress Ship Page 15 P: (619) 435-1848 Bar: (619) 435-0572 1631 Strand Way F: (619) 435-2480 Jr. Office: (619) 567-2625 Coronado, CA 92118 [email protected] Chaplain: (619) 261-5476 www.coronadoyc.org VHF Radio Channel 69 Security: (619) 933-1011 From the Jr. Clubhouse ........................... 6-7 In This Issue...

In-house waiter served dining is being offered during our regular hours of 5:00 p.m. to 8:30 pm on Wednesday and Friday evenings, as well as our Full Weekend Menu on Saturdays and Sundays from 9:00 am to 5:30 pm. Reserva- tions are required and limited so that we can properly protect you, the membership, and our highly valued staff. By reservation, the Dining Room and Clubhouse Front Patio will be available for in-house club dining. Members will not order drinks at the bar, but at their dining tables with the server who will take them to tables in the Dining Room or Patio. All tables, inside and outside, will be separated by 6 feet in order to ensure physical distancing of members. As such, seating in the Dining Room and Front Patio will be limited. Please call ahead and include your location request with your reservation. In-house dining members will only be seated after the previous guest has left the dining table to allow time for staff to disinfect before being seated. Table seating is to be limited to household units, or members who have asked to be seated together. Members from the same household at the same table do not have to be six feet apart. All members of the party must be pre- sent before seating and the host/hostess must bring the entire party to the table at one time. Our “To Go” food offerings will continue during our regular hours of 5:00 pm to 8:30 pm on Wednesday and Friday evenings, as well as our Full Weekend Menu being offered on Saturdays and Sundays from 9:00 am to 5:30 pm. CYC will continue to offer our “To Go” Curbside Pickup to minimize crossflow of members in enclosed environ- ments. We have created a “To Go” seating area on the Bayside Lawn by the sabot racks. Members using the “To Go” dining tables are encouraged to allow time for staff to disinfect dining tables and chairs before being seated. CYC will continue to provide takeout and delivery to our membership within the Coronado Community. We are constantly monitoring the everchanging San Diego Health Orders, seeing how we can bring back the exceptional membership experience that our staff loves to provide for the membership to enjoy in a safe, responsible, and legal manner. The Adult Sailing Program Charter is back with a 24 hour reservation requirement, and as of this writing Director Wilson has secured the second Harbor 20 for our fleet. I greatly appreciate the patience and support that you have shown us while we navigate through these in- creased sanitation protocols that allow us to move forward.
