We are offering a great springtime membership special, which will benefit you and your friends. Call your friends, have them call their friends, and get everyone you can into the Club to join! This is the time when you, the Member, have an even bigger incentive to help bring in new members. Not only will you get that warm, fuzzy feeling for doing something nice for a friend, you will also be helping to keep our dues down by increasing the overall dues base, but best of all you get a $500.00 BYC credit for yourself and each member you sponsor will receive $500.00 off of our already low Initiation Fee! If you don’t know someone who is ready to commit to a regular membership, suggest they try our Summer Membership Program. It runs from June 1, 2014 – September 30, 2014. The Initiation Fee is $461.71 ($450.00 plus $11.71 tax), Membership Dues are $410.61 ($385.62 plus $24.99 tax), and the Food/ Beverage Minimum is $280.00 for the four month period. All fees are plus 6.5% sales tax. If your friend becomes a member during the Summer Membership Program period, the minimum will be adjusted accordingly. The initiation paid from the Summer Membership, will be applied to the Full Initiation if, and when, the Summer Member converts. Summer membership can only be used 2 times in a lifetime, and the initiation fee paid is applicable to the full initiation at the transition. Our Summer Membership is not a full membership, the individuals cannot vote, hold office, or take advantage of our reciprocal clubs, but they can utilize our Club for all of the fun family events that we do in the Clubhouse and around the pool! Serving Manatee County for more than 45 years APRIL 2014 We are heading into spring, and eyeing summer right around the corner. Now is the time to call Wendy and set up those spring and summer parties.

And, remember, you can sponsor a party for your friends. All you have to do is make the introduction. Wendy and our Culinary Team are eager to take your visions and turn them into reality!

Friday night’s group dinner (Valentine’s evening) was at Pier 22 in a banquet room with everyone in attendance to help celebrate the event and to celebrate Jeff & Pat Poulson’s wedding anniversary. Saturday morning started off cold but clear skies. Around 9:30 that changed when the front moved in with winds guesting to almost 50 mph. Most of the cruisers were still on their boats recuperating from the night before. Later in the morning after the winds died down to around 18 to 20 mph, most of us went to the farmers market. Some of us hung around the Main Street bars in the afternoon while others went back to the boats and played a few games of LCR. The Boldizsar’s and their guests had an early dinner and then attended the play “Shrek” at the Players Club. Some of the group had dinner at Pier 22 while the rest of us had dinner at FAV’s Italian Restaurant. Sunday, everyone kind of left earlier than normal to make that long trip back to their home ports, the BYC and Riviera Dunes.

Investor’s Club Jack Gorman, Treasurer After 2 meetings, the BYC Investment Club seems to be very popular. We have had an average of 20 attendees at each meeting and a survey indicates that they are pleased with the dinner meeting format. The direction of the Club is toward education with a format of “Guest” financial professional speaker and a “basics” piece led by a club member. The talks are incorporated into a dinner meeting format. During the cocktail and dining periods, members also have the time to exchange their investment ideas with each other. We have already had guests speak on the 2014 Economic Outlook and the Use of Exchange Traded (ETF) funds in a portfolio. Our basics talks have included “Know Thyself” and “Building a Portfolio.” A survey of attendees indicated the following topics will be put on our agenda: Evaluating Investments Asset allocation Forecasting techniques Taxation Sector Allocation Value Investing Dividend Investing Mutual funds Using Limit & Stop Orders Using Market Indexes International Stocks & Bonds Retirement planning tools Income investing Real Estate REITs Common & Preferred Stocks Social Security Efficient Portfolio Theory Growth investing PROFITS AHEAD There is no cost to join and this is not an investment pool type of club. Email addresses of members are not shared and sales pitches are not allowed. Meetings are on the 4th Wednesday at 6:30. The next meeting is March 26.

Hopefully, everyone is getting ready because this will be fun for all! I have been getting some great fishing reports and photos. The snook are hungry and the redfish are schooling. The water temperature is still a bit on the cool side, so the close to shore and bay grouper bite is still red hot. BYC Member Taylor Chadsey sent over some photos of a great hogfish trip he went on last month and I am hearing reports that the fishing has been great farther offshore. So get out there and do some fishing!

Ten of the boats competing were from BYC and the others from local area yacht clubs. The morning start offered extremely light winds, which left the boats at the mercy of the tide. The afternoon breezes of 10-14 knots filled in around 1400 hours and added a nice finishing touch for those boats that persisted. In the spinnaker class LIL gringo (John Izmirlian) barely streaked by Silver Streak (Tom Grubb) for First Place honors. This was an up and down tilt with Silver Streak leading LIL gringo several times during the event and a very close finish of only 34 seconds separating the two boats over the seventeen mile course. In non-spinn class, Windcaller ( Joe McClash) led overall followed by Esconditas (Frank Wendt), Kate (Bill Casey), and Special K (Bob Klement). Visiting multi hulls Catraption (O.H. Rodgers) and Merlin (Phil Smith) took the top two spots in their division. Cruising - Our February cruise to Venice Yacht Club was led by Mark and Lavonne Dimitroff. Eight boats with 16 crew had a breezy trip inside but were rewarded with a cozy cocktail hour aboard Cricket. Dinner in the Club was excellent as usual. After a potluck breakfast/ brunch Saturday morning, everyone was on their own, biking or strolling to town for shopping and lunch. Saturday evening we ventured to the Charles Clifton Crow’s Nest for another memorable dinner and back to the Club for a private viewing of the movie, All Is Lost, starring Robert Redford. Sunday’s return trip outside was very foggy with visibility down to 500 feet, but with radar and horn, we safely sneaked back into Passage Key Inlet without incident. Some boats came inside preferring less fog in exchange for Sunday traffic and bridge openings. We have had wonderful Sail Fleet Cruises in the last few years. Much of the success is because each cruise is led by a different captain, who arranges the dockage, dining venue and other activities. The variety has been excellent. We have had varied events from pub crawls, boat shows, gourmet restaurant trips to other entertainment. Please join us at our Silver Streak leading LIL gringo in the Around Egmont Key Regatta. Special thanks to the race committee of Chuck Goes (SPYC) and Peter Robinson (CYC) and our members Kathy Kalitta (yacht Kathy) and JoAnn Stewart (yacht JoJo) for providing the support power boats for the event. We sailors do appreciate their work. MARK YOUR CALENDARS… SUNDAY, APRIL 13th, 2:00 is our annual LADIES AT THE HELM race. The rules are simple…only a lady may helm the boat during the race. This is a fun event and all club members are encouraged to participate. All women who participate receive a free souvenir trophy. monthly dinner meeting to learn more about coming along! April’s a busy month so our cruising event will be an overnight anchoring out. As we watch the weather, more details will be forthcoming online. If you’re not on the email list for instant updates, contact Charles at charles@charlesclifton.com. On April 2, our meeting time will be devoted to a program by Orion returning home in dense fog Rick and Julie Petersen, past BYC members and now world cruisers. Rick will speak about their cruise from BYC, across the Atlantic and northern Europe with special emphasis on their Norwegian segment. They are now preparing to extend their cruise to St. Petersburg, Russia. Rick is a great speaker for boaters and is speaking on a favorite subject. The whole Club will find this interesting and there will be a special menu.

Yes, this is a really great deal; no, we can’t beat Publix prices. Yes, you can get this wine and many others we sell at grocery and liquor stores for less than we sell it for…likewise, for beer and liquor, too. Those retail outlets don’t have to cover the costs to serve the beverages, keep in stock nice glasses, cover costs of some wine going bad because we opened a bottle and maybe don’t sell it all by the glass, etc. Believe me, there are no other clubs or restaurants out there selling the Clos for what we are. I hope you enjoy it as we will keep our eye out for the next big deal, so we can transition into something fun for summer! Remember, pour, swirl, nose, drink, swish and swallow!

We are looking for ways to make your late spring and early summer great. We plan to add the capability to purchase refreshments at the Fuel Dock. Certainly, most members can go to the Tiki Bar on the weekends. But for those who don’t want to and for those who fuel during the week, this will be a great opportunity to for us to service you! Remember as we get busy, hail us on VHF channel 16 or call us on the Dock Master cell phone at 941-374-2310. The “blue area” of the Transient Dock (closest to the boat ramp) is not for overnight mooring. This is an area we hold for drop in boating and loading and unloading. Likewise, we try to keep this area clear for the Sailboat hoist. During the weekends, even if the wall looks empty, we are probably waiting on boats that have reservations. Whenever you pull in and tie off, even if just for lunch or a snack, let us know please. We really need to know whose boat is where and where on the property you are, so we can contact you if we need to move you.
