Is it Labor Day already? Where did summer go? It’s been a fabulous sum- mer with the tempered weather, the multiple events at the club and the historic Pool vote. Let’s hope we have great fall weather ahead of us to enjoy and for the start of the NEW pool! Labor Day is jam packed with events for everyone or all ages to join in on- starting with FNS, a Pool Splash Party Saturday afternoon, the Power Fleet Dinghy Cruise and poker run Saturday after- noon, chicken BBQ Sat- urday night, Green Island breakfast Sunday morn- ing followed by the Green Island Race and finally the popular perch fish fry on Monday. Be sure to visit your club and enjoy one of these fine events your fellow members put on. In 2006 we celebrated 100 years of being a club. It also happens to be the last time drink prices were adjusted! The board has been monitoring this over the last three years and it can no longer be avoided. Starting Sep- tember 1 st  you will notice a modest increase in your favorite beverage. Special thanks to Hal & Diane Hawk for bringing the very talented Port Clinton Community Band to the club. The Concert Band provided members with a wonderful after- noon filled with music for all to enjoy. The concert was enjoyed by over 100 members and guests. If you have never attended this special event, mark your calendar for next year as it is an excellent event. The Commodores’ Cup Race was held August 23 rd  and PCYC had 7 club boats that partici- pated. Congratulations to PC Park McRitchie and crew of JEB III for their first place finish in the PHRF class. Feet Cap- tain of Power Jim Miller and his crew took first in the JAM class. I was a little confused why Jim got towed in after the race.maybe it’s tradi- tion or something! Any- way, we enjoyed beauti- ful weather and a nice pot luck dinner on the deck after the race. This event dates back to 1971 when then Commodore Chick Schaffner organ- ized the first race and it remains a solid tradition and hopefully for many more years to come. This month we will be renovating the ceiling and replacing the lighting in the kitchen. The new lighting is long overdue and should really brighten the room up. Be sure to visit the Ship’s Store this month. Carolyn Nitz is constantly bringing in new and fresh items for sale. It’s never too early to shop for the Holi- days! I would like to recognize Eric, Gloria and the flower committee for keeping the grounds looking incredible this year. The Club has never looked better! That’s all for now and I look forward to seeing you around the Club. That is unless Terry and I are at some corner of one of the 5 Great Lakes looking at another boat!

JUNIOR BAY WEEK 2015BY EMMA EICKERT

Hello my name is Emma Eickert and I am 15 years old I am a student at Port Clinton High School and amember of the Port Clinton Yacht Club Jr Sail Team This July was my ldquorookierdquo year at the I-LYA Jr Bay

Week Regatta For those of who donrsquot know itrsquos a big sailing race that lasts a week at Put-In-Bay on SouthBass Island every summer for dinghy sailors all over Lake Erie and other inland lakes Irsquove been in the PCYCLearn to Sail program for as long as I can remember only hearing of experiences I would encounter on theisland during that week Only now do I know what they were talking about For example getting up superearly to rig boats the amazing food and even better food staff the ldquono wheelsrdquo rule and to expect brutallyslow races one day and howling winds the next I thought I was told everything I possibly needed to knowabout the regatta

All sailing season mostly the same teams and the same sailors come to all of the same regattas and as aldquorookierdquo I began to see some familiar faces in the 420 fleet which I sailed in My crew Ethan Taylor and Iwould occasionally say ldquoHey nice racerdquo or ldquoI like your life jacket which club are you fromrdquo It was usualsailing small talk for the ldquorookierdquo 420 boat from PCYC Now comes Jr Bay Week and Ethan and I learn thatthose faces have names and personalities too that we really grewto like All of a sudden those faces were around us 247 rigging

boats eating breakfast launching from the ramp starting and fin-ishing races and walking to the hotel with us At the end of ourrace days wersquod meet up with those faces that had become ourfriends to grab some ice cream We even realized one girl we be-friended happened to be the skipper of a boat we t-boned the re-gatta prior There were no hard feelings and we couldnrsquot help butto laugh at the irony

I had never known how tightly knit the junior sailing communitywas until I had experienced Jr Bay Week On the water wersquore allcompetitors trying to beat our friends from the other clubs up thecourse On land wersquore all asking those friends how they did andrehashing on that daysrsquo worth of racing Before the end of theweek phone numbers were exchanged plans for other regattas

were made and boats were strapped down for the ferry ridehome At the beginning of the week on the ride to the island Ithought I knew everything there was to know about Jr Bay WeekOn the ride back to the mainland I knew I was wrong I didnrsquotknow how quickly the skippers and crews that finished near mewould become my friends People I could laugh with trust for ad-vice and will miss until next summer when the sailing season willstart back up Although we had some memorable races and fin-ishing places what topped off my experience at Jr Bay Week wasthe fun and good times I had bonding with my team and sailorsfrom across the lake that I look forward to seeing next year

JUNIOR BAY WEEK 2015BY EMMA EICKERT

Hello my name is Emma Eickert and I am 15 years old I am a student at Port Clinton High School and amember of the Port Clinton Yacht Club Jr Sail Team This July was my ldquorookierdquo year at the I-LYA Jr Bay

Week Regatta For those of who donrsquot know itrsquos a big sailing race that lasts a week at Put-In-Bay on SouthBass Island every summer for dinghy sailors all over Lake Erie and other inland lakes Irsquove been in the PCYCLearn to Sail program for as long as I can remember only hearing of experiences I would encounter on theisland during that week Only now do I know what they were talking about For example getting up superearly to rig boats the amazing food and even better food staff the ldquono wheelsrdquo rule and to expect brutallyslow races one day and howling winds the next I thought I was told everything I possibly needed to knowabout the regatta

All sailing season mostly the same teams and the same sailors come to all of the same regattas and as aldquorookierdquo I began to see some familiar faces in the 420 fleet which I sailed in My crew Ethan Taylor and Iwould occasionally say ldquoHey nice racerdquo or ldquoI like your life jacket which club are you fromrdquo It was usualsailing small talk for the ldquorookierdquo 420 boat from PCYC Now comes Jr Bay Week and Ethan and I learn thatthose faces have names and personalities too that we really grewto like All of a sudden those faces were around us 247 rigging

boats eating breakfast launching from the ramp starting and fin-ishing races and walking to the hotel with us At the end of ourrace days wersquod meet up with those faces that had become ourfriends to grab some ice cream We even realized one girl we be-friended happened to be the skipper of a boat we t-boned the re-gatta prior There were no hard feelings and we couldnrsquot help butto laugh at the irony

I had never known how tightly knit the junior sailing communitywas until I had experienced Jr Bay Week On the water wersquore allcompetitors trying to beat our friends from the other clubs up thecourse On land wersquore all asking those friends how they did andrehashing on that daysrsquo worth of racing Before the end of theweek phone numbers were exchanged plans for other regattas

were made and boats were strapped down for the ferry ridehome At the beginning of the week on the ride to the island Ithought I knew everything there was to know about Jr Bay WeekOn the ride back to the mainland I knew I was wrong I didnrsquotknow how quickly the skippers and crews that finished near mewould become my friends People I could laugh with trust for ad-vice and will miss until next summer when the sailing season willstart back up Although we had some memorable races and fin-ishing places what topped off my experience at Jr Bay Week wasthe fun and good times I had bonding with my team and sailorsfrom across the lake that I look forward to seeing next year
