MARCH 2020 EST. 1913 From the Commodore aylight Savings Time starts on March 8th, 2020 and the spring equinox falls on Thursday, D March 19th. On the equinox, the length of day and night is nearly equal in all parts of the world. With the equinox, we enjoy the increasing sunlight hours, with earlier dawns and later sunsets. This also means Opening Day is fast approaching and summers hours at the Club will Commodore Scott Grimes soon be here and more daylight means more time you can spend on the water. Speaking of Opening day, I would like to extend a Commodore’s Challenge and encourage everyone to have their Spring 2020 Underway requirement completed before Opening Day this year. This is not a requirement or a change in the bylaws, it is simply a request from the Commodore. There is a possibility that if all the boats on your dock have completed their underway requirement prior to Opening Day, it will count as bonus points to the best dressed dock competition overall score or best boat contest. Either way, it would be nice to announce that all boats berthed at CYC have completed their underway requirement on Opening Day. In February, CYC hosted the 100 memberships by seniority, commonly referred to as the “Old Timers”, this is not a reference to age, but to the membership’s standing in seniority. In appreciation for the “Old Timers”, the Board assisted the CYC restaurant staff in serving breakfast for this long-standing group of members. #1 in Seniority, Life Flag Member CYC Burgee Pins awarded to the Secretary Schelkun and Flag Member 100 most Senior Members Bill Gise While honoring the “Old Timers” long standing memberships and service to CYC, we must also recognize that the demographics of the Coronado Yacht Club are changing and a large portion of new members that have recently joined the Club are younger families with children. Coronado and the Coronado Yacht Club are wonderful places to raise a family and be part of community. This also poses challenges to how the club is used by all members. The side lawn has become a family area with the addition of seating, fire pits, and of course the inflatable jumpy, however, this area is not suitable for the cooler winter months when there is inclement weather and the number of families enjoying the club have outgrown the small Marlin room to accommodate these families with younger children. There will be workshops and opportunities for members to offer their ideas on how to better serve all members, which may include expanding the Bar area to allow families to enjoy more of the seating area in the bar. Please know that any decision regarding this issue will have full participation by the members. Happy Boating and I hope to see you at the Club! 2020 Board of Directors 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 Vice Commodore’s Report ..........................6 Upcoming Events ............................... 14-17 In This Issue...
