Let`s show them what you got! Calling all
BRADENTON YACHT CLUB P oop D eck The Monthly Newsletter • From the Helm As it normally does, the New Year has started with a flurry of activities for our members and our Club. There are many things I would like to share with you this month and I will cover as much as my allotted space will allow. First I would like to express my thanks and appreciation to Judy and Eric Engberg. For the past eight years Judy has been the editor of the PoopDeck and Eric has provided his support as staff photographer. This dynamic duo has decided to retire from these roles. They leave behind a legacy of outstanding member commitment and involvement for the untold amount of time they devoted to their tasks. Thank you both for all that you have done! I would also like to thank Mary Jo Smith and introduce her as the new PoopDeck editor. Please give her your support as she steps into these giant shoes. Last month Ken Nyhus mentioned that we were negotiating a year round reciprocity agreement with the Bradenton Country Club. That agreement was finalized and became effective on January 1, 2012. BYC members may now play golf on a year round basis at the Bradenton Country Club and we also have use of dining facilities, tennis courts and swimming pool. There are some restrictions, so please check with the BYC office for details. A major repair to the Club boat ramp was started in late January, and it should be completed by the Tuesday after Super Bowl. We may have inconvenienced a few boaters during the repair, but I am sure they will agree that it was worthwhile. Plans have also been finalized for the pool resurfacing. Work on this project should begin on February 1st and will last about two weeks. This timing minimizes user disruption while the weather is still cool and pool usage is at a low point. I promised to keep you updated on our Finances throughout the year and here are a few highlights from our first 6 months of operation. Total income is above budget primarily due to fuel sales and food sales. We are slightly below budget on dues income because our membership level has dropped below plan. Our costs of sales (food, bar and fuel) have been controlled well and as a result our gross margin is only $2,000 below budget. We have experienced some unfavorable variances on operating expenses which caused our total operating loss to be $19,000 worse than budget. The level of our unfavorable variance is relatively small when compared to our revenue. In spite of this, the Executive Committee, Finance Committee and Club Management are already working on ways to increase revenue, reduce expenses and get us back on plan. You can help by actively recruiting your friends to join the BYC and by continuing to utilize February 2012 Commodore Rick Shaurette the Club frequently. Some important Club events have been scheduled and I am sharing them now so you can mark your calendar. First is the Commodores Club Awards banquet which has been scheduled for Friday April 27th. At this annual event both perpetual awards and new awards are presented to honor outstanding sailors, power boaters, fishermen, general members and Great Mates. On the following Tuesday evening (May 1st) we will hold the Bradenton Yacht Club Annual Meeting. With a very full Club calendar for the next few months, we are still working to schedule the annual Memorial Service and Blessing of the Fleet.

Our Boat Ramp will be closed for the first week, as Total Quality Marine repairs and extends the ramp. This will be very beneficial for some of our bigger trailer boats, who have really had to be careful that their boat trailer did not fall off of the end. We apologize for the inconvenience but the winter low tides and the process dictated our timing. Harry advises that the ramp should not be closed for more than a week, weather permitting…. Speaking of timing, we will be closing the pool during the same time frame to have it refinished. The pool will be closed 1½ to 2 weeks, but will reopen with a beautiful interior, new lights and ladders, and a big, beautiful tile mosaic BYC Burgee in the shallow end! We appreciate all of the members’ understanding during this process, and I know we all look forward to seeing how wonderful the project turns out. This, along with the installation of the three new geothermal pool heaters, will hopefully keep the pool looking and working great for many years to come. We now have year round reciprocity with Bradenton Country Club (BCC), with benefits to members of both clubs. BYC Member privileges include: · Full use of the BCC’s food and beverage facilities for a la carte dining and banquet events, including special member events, on a space available basis, year round. · Reciprocal use of the BCC golf course May 1 – October 31, for $25.00 per BYC Member and guests, plus a cart fee, and for $50.00 per BYC Member and guests, plus a cart fee, November 1 through April 30. BYC Members can play the BCC Course November 1 through April 30 on Thursday, Saturday and Sunday after 12:00 pm only. BYC Members must reserve tee times by contacting the BCC pro shop. · Use of the BCC pool and tennis courts at no charge, on a space available basis, year round. BCC Member privileges include: · Full use of the BYC’s food and beverage facilities for a la carte dining and banquet events, including special member events, on a space available basis, year round. · Use of the BYC pool and tennis courts at no charge, on a space available basis. Ken Nyhus · Ability to purchase fuel, either unleaded, or diesel, at the prevailing BYC Nonmember Rate. · Use of docking slips in the BYC marina at the prevailing BYC Nonmember Rate. Transient dockage arrangements must be made in advance through the BYC Dock Master, no more than 48 hours in advance. We will be introducing some new features to provide you with some different experiences in food and beverage. As you know, good things sometimes come to an end. This is the case with BYC’s Sunday brunch. To maintain great quality, and the variety of food we serve at Sunday Brunch, we need 60 people to cover those costs. In an effort to provide a more viable option on Sunday, we will be replacing the Sunday Brunch with a special Sunday breakfast menu. Sunday Breakfast will be available from 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m., and will feature: Eggs Made to Order, $6.99 + +, Steak & Eggs, 12.99 + +, Omelets (your choice of, ham, bacon, sweet peppers, onions, cheese), $6.99 + +, and a Chef’s Featured Brunch Special (will vary weekly) to include French toast, pancakes, biscuits and gravy, eggs Benedict, or cheese blintzes, $6.99 + +. The Lunch Menu will also be available inside, noon to 6:00 p.m., poolside and at the Tiki-Bar, noon to dusk. Also new in February, Tuesday nights will become Tropical Tuesdays. Free Pina Colada & Mai Thai’s will be available from 5:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m.! Dinner starts at 5:30 p.m., featuring fun tropical foods such as Grilled Mahi-Mahi with Tropical Fruit Salsa, Island Curried Grouper, Mojo Pork Medallions, Island Roasted Half Chicken, Coconut Shrimp, each dish only $10.99 + +! Our Regular Menu will be available too. We will also be transforming our Thursday night Pasta Bar into Shrimp & Suds Thursdays! From 5:30 to 9:00 p.m., enjoy all you can eat Steamed Shrimp, Fried Shrimp, Shrimp Scampi, or the Shrimp Combo for only $14.99 + +, $1.00 Drafts, $4.99 + + Pitchers of Domestic Bear! Regular Menu too! For all of our members who trailer a boat, we have several dry slips available for rent. These dry slips rent for $56.50 per month. All have easy in and out access, and with the gate key, you have access to our ramp 24/7. For more information on which dry slips are available, please contact Brent, our Dockmaster. Finally, be sure to check out some of the great entertainment events in February, including Greek International Night (February 4), Sweetheart Dinner Dance (February 11) and Dueling Pianos (February 25). See you all around the Clubhouse!

In years gone by the starting horn would sound at 1100 hours for our annual Red Eye Regatta. Unfortunately, this year the wind must have had a horrible hangover from the night before and never got out of bed that day. Consequently, our race was cancelled, however the party went on. In December we completed our Fall Racing series. The results after nine races follow: (as in golf lower score wins.) Non-SpinPoints Special K 4 First Place Second Place Windcaller 9 Spinnaker Class First Place Black Star 12 Second Place Lil Gringo 15 Third Place Crescendo 25 Fourth Place Silver Streak 32 Fifth Place Mischief 51 Sixth Place Harrumph 45 On Saturday March 10th BYC is hosting our Annual Around Egmont Classic Race. What makes this race most challenging is that the entrants must decide on whether to round Egmont clockwise or a counter clockwise course using their ability to predict wind and tidal current. This is a GREAT LOW KEY RACE for our larger boats who are confined racing in the Manatee River and like the open bay and gulf to spread their sails. Come on out this year and have some fun. You can find registration forms on the BYC Website and the BYC Facebook Page. Continued from page 1 VIII of our by-laws. This committee will propose a slate of officers and directors that will be voted on at the Annual Meeting. The committee is chaired by me and includes the Most Recent Past Commodore Harry Blenker and the following members at large: Jim Freeman, Kelley Johnson, and Larry Stanczak. If anyone has an interest in becoming a Club Officer or Director please contact any member of the committee. Our goal is to complete the proposed slate and communicate it to the membership prior to March 1st. 4 Captain Mike Reeves Fleet Captain Fishing The PoopDeck embarks on a new era. Thank you Judy for guiding our publication for many years and for correcting spelling, grammar and occasionally commenting on my unsuitable and/ or absurd. Welcome Mary Jo; a million kudos for taking on a difficult job. We will be placing most Fleet Sportfishing information on the BYC web site www.bradentonyachtclub.com in order to keep everybody up to date. Have you seen the video catch board that now lives just behind the little stage in our bar? As time goes on we will both grow member participation and improve the quality of the presentation. Information regarding the Catch Board may be found – on our spot on the www. John Murnane caught this 53lb Cobia about 30 miles west of Anna Maria, fishing on his boat “Reel Tight” with sons.

Visit the BYC website at www.bradentonyachtclub.com Fleet Captain Power After having a month off per se for the holidays, I feel quite rested and am looking forward to a “New Year of Boating.” With the weather for most of January being slightly above normal, I was reminded to start looking and booking our summer cruises for this upcoming year. I have also been working on the extended cruise on a cruise line ship for later this summer for the power fleet and other BYC members who choose to join us. More on that in next month’s article. Don’t forget that the power fleet meetings are held on the second Tuesday of every month. Make your reservations early. We give away a $35 BYC gift certificate at every Power Fleet meeting. Power Fleet Cruise Information for January: As of the writing of this article the cruise away has not occurred yet. January’s cruise away follow up will be in March’s Poop Deck with a picture. Upcoming Power Fleet Events: February 14th Power Fleet dinner/meeting February 24th - 26th Sarasota Yacht Club Cruise March 13th Power Fleet dinner/meeting March 23rd - 25th Marina Jack’s Members of the BYC Power Fleet toasted the return of Rick and Charlene Hoffmeister at the New Year’s Eve Gala. Sail Cruising Fleet Downtown St. Petersburg is a fun place to visit, loaded with eateries, museums and pubs where you can get your fill of art as well as wine. In the center of all these experiences is the SPYC. It was just the right venue to create a great January excursion. Cool weather for walking, shopping and even some exercise. The sail cruise fleet held our weekend to SPYC on January 13-15. As usual, Dock master Adam Harnen was quite accommodating, arranging all our needs including dinner reservations. SPYC recently renovated and significantly changed their main dining venue to a more contemporary American Bistro type feel with rich dark woods, built in wine coolers and a warm bar area within the dining area. The “1909 Grille Room” proved to be a great choice for our group Friday night. One of dinner’s highlights, a 2008 Rombauer Cabernet that melted in your mouth. Knowing it was 50 degrees outside enhanced the experience. While this vintage wasn’t on the wine list, Cricket Clifton had a hunch that a Captain Ken Sosville Captain Mark Berte‘ few bottles could be had. That’s cruising know-how. Saturday included a walk to the market, chock full of everything from dog sweaters to great street food and fresh veggies. Later in the evening, the basement of Ceviche (across the street from SPYC) had a Flamenco guitar quartet which paired well with equally rich Spanish wines. After all this fun, the best part is we were able to enjoy a great sail back to the Manatee River and the best venue around, the BYC. Oh, did I mention we got back in time to enjoy the great Chili Cookoff of 2012. It was a great effort by all who entered, congrats to the winners. Bon voyage. BYC Sail Cruisers enjoy dinner at the St. Petersburg Yacht Club Visit the BYC website at www.bradentonyachtclub.com 5 Entertainment February is going to be a fabulous month for entertainment at the BYC. We begin the month on February 4th with the next in our series of International Dinners and this month we are going to Greece. The International Dinners have been a huge success and well attended. This small dinner group has grown from 24 to 54 enthusiastic attendees. The food and ambience at each event has been superb. Last month was magnificent with the Brazilian dinner served on swords. Greece will not be disappointing to say the least. Chef Keith has prepared an amazing menu of Greek delights. If you are interested in attending please make reservations so that the Club can properly prepare. And remember to bring your Palatable Passport to keep in the running for the private wine dinner for four! Romance lives on at the BYC when you celebrate Valentine’s Day on Saturday, February 11th. It will be a full night of entertainment, starting with tenor Joe Spinella singing your favorite romantic songs. This is an encore event for Joe who brought the house down with his amazing voice at La Dolce Vita. The evening continues as the romantic couples take center stage for their vow renewals and then we spend the rest of the night dancing to Shaman. All in all it is a little bit of everything for you that night with other surprises thrown into the mix. Valentine’s Day is a very popular night at the BYC and this year is sure to be a sell out. Remember that those with the earliest reservations get the best seats! Mark your calendar for February 25th for what is sure to be the biggest event of the year. The BYC is very excited to announce the appearance of Mark & Clark -- the original Dueling Piano twins. This very talented duo comes straight from Vegas “the best way to describe the with a synchronized talents of Mark & Clark is piano performance the piano artistry of Ferrante that you will love, as & Teicher combined with the they entertain us with wittiness of the Smothers a repertoire ranging Brothers – with a dash of from Beethoven to Liberace for good measure.” Las Vegas Review, 2007 Broadway. There will be limited seating for this event. Enjoy the fun and see you at the club. Communications This month’s Poopdeck marks a major transition in BYC history: the BYC is not only losing a talented and steadfast editor, but a whole journalistic team. Both Judy and Eric Engberg are retiring from the Poopdeck as editor and photo department. They hope to spend more time on their Grand Banks 36’ Copycat and with their grandchildren. Judy has been putting the Poopdeck together -- writing, editing, cropping, and the dozens of things that make it work -- under the watch of eight Commodores. Judy and Eric met at and graduated from the famed University of Missouri School of Journalism (1962) and married shortly thereafter. Judy became a working reporter and editor while Eric went toward TV and eventually became a national news and political correspondent for CBS Evening News. Judy focused on raising their three sons while Eric went to the hotspots of the world. Upon retirement, they moved from Bethesda, MD to Bradenton and became members of BYC in 2002. Our gain! 6 Janet Amar Jack Gorman Within a few years, Judy started editing the Poopdeck and made it into the finest publication in the FCYC (in my humble opinion). She served on the BYC Board for four years and received the Admiral’s Hat award for outstanding service in 2009. That’s a stack of accomplishments for one person. We will sincerely miss their efforts and creative contributions as we go forward, but look forward to seeing them often at the Club! Mary Jo Smith takes over this month as editor and I will assist her. We have some big deck shoes to fill.
