I will be checking and billing any boat that is on the grounds for winter storage soon. If your boat is on the grounds when I check you will be billed for the total winter storage. As I have done in the past,  I will be taking pictures of all boats on the grounds. There will be no prorating after EYC has billed.

If you park in the island, have your boat facing west and your name and OR numbers on the tongue of your trailer. That way I will not need to remove your cover to read your OR numbers. Ground rules require you to have your name on the tongue of your trailer.

It was great seeing all the help that we had on the removal of D dock last month. Many thanks to everyone who helped. We also need to remove the fingers from C dock before the lake is too low. Let me know if you can help. I can also be out in the middle of the week if that works for you.

As the season comes to a close, the issue of boats on the grounds arises. When I check boats on EYC grounds, I take picture of all of them there at the end of the year. This photo record is the basis for billing winter storage.

As the seasons is coming to a close there are several issues that have come to my attention that I'd like to bring to yours.

I will be checking and billing any boat that is on the grounds for winter storage in the first two weeks of November. If your boat is on the grounds when I check, you will be billed for the total winter storage. There will be no prorating after billing. If your boat is on the grounds when I do the counts, it will be billed. So if I check on Saturday and you remove on Sunday you will still be billed for winter storage. (Check Article V, Section 4 of the EYC Bylaws)

Here we are in August and the lake is in great shape, just like last year.

We are waiting for the Army Corps of Engineers' real estate group to look at the request and sign off on the reworking the Scout dock and moving the Zuma dock off the shore.

Here we are at the last month that this year's work party hours can be performed for 2017. There are a couple of projects that need to be done. Please contact John Mahoney or Marji Clune to see what needs to be done.

As you are using your boat this season, please look at the hoops, hinge pins, hinges, and tie-bars for the hinges and if you see cracks or other item that need attention please take care of them. On C and D dock look under the mats that cover the hinge points and the small hinges. 

If making repairs is above your skill or comfort level, please contact John Mahoney or Paul Stephens, or you can email me and I will forward your message to John or Paul.

We have regattas coming up which means it's time for everyone to get their boats out of the center parking area. If you are not planning to put your boat in the next couple of weekends, please move it to the back row along the fence on the west side of the grounds. This will open up the center parking area and give the club a more yacht-friendly look.

The moorage billing is in Jo’s hands, and I have placed the list of names and corresponding moorage spots on the Port Captain Board by the Yot Pot. These may not be as up-to-date as the website because people are changing, or moving, or adding new boat at a fast clip.

You have less than one week to get your moorage registration requests to me. You can get your same moorage spot or request a new one through the website. If you do not have a login and password, contact me.

If you want a new spot, download either the .pdf or .doc version of the 2017 Moorage Registration Form and return to me by March 19.

You may not have notice but we have had a little rain this year. And at this point are above the curve so...

Get your Moorage Registration Form filled out and back to me. Forms are due by March 19. File early and avoid the rush.
