CALYPSO PARTY
by Kelley Richardt
I really can't say what was the best part of the party, they were all good! Val Monahan got her
Entertainment Committee together, and with their help, along with lots of help from all the club members
we had a great party.
On the Entertainment Committee we tried to split up our efforts to make sure that we got everything
covered. Darnell Godwin created a great poster to encourage everyone to sign up, Sandy McPeek
handled the details of creating and purchasing commemorative shirts, Pam Carpenter encouraged Rus
to eat his vegetables so that we had plenty of cans on hand, and I dreamed up party decorations.

Our First Mates led by Nancy Ritzmann Started
August off with a new weekly event—Game Night.
Several tables were set up during happy hour on
August 2nd for an introduction to Bourre. Subsequent
Game Nights will include a variety of table games to
entertain our members. The First Mates also initiated
Saints Night, to provide nourishment for Saints fans
who gather to watch the games. Val Monahan and
her Entertainment Committee did a major makeover
of the club for the 2007 Calypso Party on August 11th.
More than 70 members and guests dined on delicious
pot luck buffet and danced to the sounds of Dave
Gutierrez (Bayou Self).
A Lei Contest, won by
Dottie David, and bright golf shirts added color to the
event. A Limbo Contest brought several brave souls
on the dance floor to try their skills. Our webmaster,
Kevin Blank, & his lady friend, Becky Good, took the
Limbo King & Queen honors.
Darnell Godwin
provided a Caribbean Cook Book to help our volunteer
cooks in preparation of tropical delights. The surprise
donation of a Tiki Bar by Larry & Carol Whited added
a tropical flavor to the ambiance on the balcony.
If you or your friends are looking for a place to have a party—wedding, birthday, anniversary,
retirement or any other celebration check with Dodie for arrangements. TYC is also available
for rentals to the public. Outside rentals provide additional resources for our Club.
Check the Race Committee’s column for the latest results in TYC’s sailing competition.
The last chance is nearing to add your photo to the Directory, you may send it to Sandy
McPeek (smcpeek@charter.net).
The October Board Meeting will be at 1900 hours (7 pm), Monday, October 8, 2007, at TYC,
1196 Harbor Drive at Oak Harbor Marina.
See you at Tammany Yacht Club.
NEW MEMBERS
Let’s all give a hearty welcome to our newest
members, Mark & Gloria Poole, and returning
members, Mike & Cindy Ducote and Bill Pleasants
as they return to the TYC fold. Congratulations are
also due to Karen Allen & Doris Burvant on their
upgrade to Active Members.

CALYPSO PARTY
(continued from page 1)
At right, Jean Roberts and JB Ilgenfritz along with the gorilla that
greeted everyone as they came up the stairs.
Lots of people had a hand in the decorations, I dreamed big this time! Harley McPeek drilled hundred of
holes in all of the empty vegetable cans so that we could have that sparkly candlelight atmosphere. Darnell
designed an “islandy” vase for her huge philodendron leaves, and JB Ilgenfritz, Rae Ann Normand
and Margaret Russ helped us put them together the Friday night before the party. JB, Jean Roberts and
Mary Brisbi worked together to stuff the gorilla and chicken before artfully placing them in their
respective hammocks. Peggy Stone cut tablecloths before helping Val and Carol Whited hang ceiling
decorations. June Collins and Mary Brisbi worked on the awning, and when Jim Richardt arrived with
the supports we finished the creation. It took a group effort and lots of arms, but thankfully by then we had
more help from Pam and Rus Carpenter, and we raised the awning up and out. What a sight! (continued on
page 4)

assembly of the awning.

dance floor while at right, Harley McPeek, Glenn
O’Rourke, Carol Whited and Martin Smith put the
tiki bar together.
Larry and Carol Whited topped off everything with numerous decorative items, and a TIKI BAR! Wow,
what a great addition to the party, and to our balcony. Our thanks to everyone who helped move it from their
house, Glenn and Mary O'Rourke helped immensely by picking it up in their truck and bringing it upstairs.
We'll all enjoy it, along with the lights that Sandy and Harley strung up out there. (continued on page 5)

I don't know if we could ever remember everyone that brought food, but we’ll try! Thanks to Jeff and Kathy
Hebert, JB Ilgenfritz, Al Normand, Hetty Barnes, Darnell Godwin, Shannon Williams, Margaret Russ,
June Collins, Dodie Jones, Harriet Toups, NOYC members Janet Kelly and Laura Beverly, Peggy Stone
and her neighbor Jeannine Adam, Tom and Debbie Smith, Jean Almos, Ann Courrege, Sandy McPeek,
Barry Statia and Jean Roberts, Kelley Richardt, and Val Monahan. As usual, we had more than could be
eaten and were able to freeze some to save for future events. We had chicken wings, bacon wrapped shrimp,
ham, pork, rice dishes, casseroles, pasta, beans and desserts galore. Dodie and Frank whipped up a special
batch of drinks for the party, and busted tail behind the bar for most of the night.
Bayou Self did his usual good job of entertaining the crowd, and even played a special song for Frank. We
broke up the dancing with the raffles. Our special thanks to Ann Courrege for doing a super duper job selling
raffle tickets. We had a variety of wine and liquor baskets and racks that had been donated by our members.
The winners were Mark Konos, Al Normand, JB Ilgenfritz, and Jean Almos. Mark and Lisa Palermo
donated a wonderful basket full of all of the latest hair care products, you'll just need to take one look at my
hair to know who the big winner was! (continued on page 6)

And we can't forget the "Best Lei" contest. Now that we all saw the super prize, a great beach towel
embroidered with "Best Lei at TYC 2007", Dottie David may have even more competition next time. I only
wish that we had had a prize for best Calypso outfit, we all know that Bubba Groce would have been the sure
fire winner. (continued on page 7)
Above, all who wore a lei were inspected by judges JB Ilgenfritz and Mary
Brisbi. As you can see at right, Dottie David won the prize.

Last but not least, the LIMBO CONTEST. First of all, thanks to Kyle Bowser for the last minute limbo pole,
we used all of our wood pieces for the awning. We had lots of participants in the contest, but at the end, the
clear winners were Becky Good and Kevin Blank. Harley crowned them the new Limbo King and Limbo
Queen for 2007.
I join Val and her entertainment committee in thanking all of you for making this a really fun event.
Darnell Godwin, Kyle Bowser, Kevin
Blank, and Becky Good go under the limbo
stick. Even Mark Konos, although in a little
unconventional way, got in on the fun.
In the end, the
clear winners were
Kevin Blank and
Becky Good.
THANK YOU!!
Thank you to Larry and Carol Whited for
donating the fabulous tiki bar that is on the
balcony. It is a great addition to our club.
As the party was in full swing inside, a
Ring Toss Game competition was
going on outside. Shown with Darnell
Godwin is her guest, the ring toss
champion Jed Carter.
Also, thank you to Brad Carey and Steve and
Dodie Jones for their contributions towards the
patio tables and chairs. What an improvement!

WANTED!!! SPYGLASS EDITOR
Kelley Richardt has been the SpyGlass editor for almost three years. Now, her work load is
such that she cannot continue to be our editor. She has done an amazing job of making our
newsletter informative and interesting. Thank you Kelley for your time and efforts!
Now it is someone else’s turn to be of service to your club. Please consider taking on this very
essential job. All you need is a computer and working knowledge of Microsoft Word. The
format is already laid out for printing. It’s actually fun to move things around to create a
unique publication each month.
I will continue to fill in the gap until the end of 2007 OR until someone volunteers. I would
prefer it to be sooner than later though as my plate is pretty full. Please contact me at 985-6496681 or smcpeek@charter.net if you are willing to serve.

TYC BURGEE EXCHANGES
Over the last few months, TYC burgees have been
requested by other yacht clubs. In June, Dick & Jean
Almos initiated an exchange with the Charleston (SC)
Yacht Club. This month, we sent a TYC burgee to the
Yacht Club of Sea Isle City (NJ) in response to their
request and are awaiting receipt of their burgee. Most
recently, the Buccaneer Yacht Club, in Mobile, AL,
requested a TYC burgee to replace the one that was
destroyed by Katrina. As you travel, consider being a
TYC Ambassador, take along a burgee for exchange.
Maybe we can get enough to finish circling the dining
room with burgees.

First Aid (and more) Afloat
Let’s look at what every boater should have on board both for local boating as well as voyaging coastwise and
beyond. Even before preparation, we should consider prevention. Proper clothing and headgear and potions
to avoid sunburn and heat-related illness to start. Tidy decks and a neat, secure belowdecks is also a must. All
gear should be secured and/or stowed before getting underway. Any lines should be stowed taut, especially
those on deck and underfoot. An empty water bottle stepped on can result in a simple ankle sprain or a
fracture or even a fatal head wound. Survey your vessel and get it together.
For a first aid kit, one can start with a basic commercial kit and add to it as needed for local travel and day
trips. Weekenders within a short time of land need more items especially for wound care. Offshore venues
should prompt one to get some medical training and include a variety of Rx meds and supplies such as IV
fluids.
A basic kit should include bandages – BandAids ®, butterfly strips or Steri-strips®, simple sterile gauze pads
and tape. Silk tape, 1” wide is good as a single choice – it’s secure and easily torn to size. Antibiotic
ointment, Betadine®, some type of irrigating solution (get a bottle of contact lens solution that can be used
directly in the eye; it can double as a wound irrigant) will suffice for wound goop and cleaning. A decent pair
of iris (pointed) scissors, quality pick-ups or tweezers for foreign body removal. A few sterile 18 ga. needles
can also help here – the sharp bevel can act as a mini scalpel to unroof skin overlying a foreign body. Some
Tylenol and aspirin would round out the basic kit – Tylenol for hangovers and aspirin for those pesky MI’s.
Commercial cold packs are helpful for acute injuries but you can substitute two cold six-packs – apply one to
the affected area and drink the other! Ziplocs of ice work well; just protect the skin with a layer of cloth.
Beyond basics, add an ACE wrap or two for sprain/strains. They work well also to hold an ice pack in place.
Remember the R.I.C.E. pneumonic – Rest, Ice, Compress and Elevate sprains and contusions. Silvadene burn
cream is Rx but a good to have on board. For quick splints, consider tongue blades for fingers and toes, paint
stirrers or rolled up papers for larger splints. A couple different widths of roll gauze can be used to either pad
any extremity before applying a splint and ACE wrap or to dress larger wounds. In terms of meds, seasickness can be treated with OTC’s or Rx ‘s - Meclizine, Transderm Scop patches, Phenergan Suppositories
and/or Zofran ODT should be on board. Some studies show ginger to be effective for prevention of seasickness. You can get capsules, powder or use pickled ginger. Perhaps gingerale as a mixer might help? If
you have any old farts in the crew, consider Nitro spray for acute chest pain.
For offshore or prolonged coastal trips, consider more meds and more equipment. IV fluids, tubing and
catheters, a suture kit or stapler and/or Dermabond (skin glue) and even some rolls of plaster for more robust
splinting come to mind. However, training to use most of these toys is recommended. Local anesthetics,
injectable anti-nausea and pain meds and assorted oral pain meds should also be on board. Work with your
physician to get prescriptions of suitable meds in these categories. Of course an ample supply of any routine
prescription meds that the crew needs is a given. Consider a couple types of broad spectrum antibiotics as well
as an anti-diarrhea drug such as Lomotil. Whether it’s tourista or mal-de-mar that causes nausea and vomiting,
one can use oral rehydration even in moderately severe cases in lieu of IV fluids. You can get packets of
electrolyte replacement to mix with water or simply use water in combo with a sports drink. Even if one is
actively vomiting, try to give oral fluid between episodes. Start with very small amounts fairly frequently and
if tolerated, gradually increase the amount and interval. Unfortunately, beer does not qualify as a clear liquid
in this case. However, some doctors have been known to work for Heineken.
If all else fails, there are worse fates than burial at sea……… May you have Fair Winds and Following Seas.

GAME NIGHT AT TYC
On a relatively quiet Sunday afternoon/evening (is there such a thing at TYC ?), a number of folks kicked
around some ideas on how to entice more of our members to come up and enjoy the camaraderie that
Tammany has to offer. We talked of movie nights, trivia contests, bingo, bunko and other things. The First
Mates fearless leader, Nancy Ritzmann - a definite shy and retiring person, had enough of just talking about
things to do and said - "Let's do it" (or words to that effect). What happened? Well on Thursday, August 2nd,
fourteen members enjoyed being taught some of the finer points of Bourré (Booray). There are a few people,
obviously NOT from around here, who hadn't even heard of the game. What fun we had. There was
instructions on how to play, techniques, and not just a few questions on turning tricks - OK, that has a number
of connotations so let's be clear about the meaning of "tricks". In this case it had to deal with the card game.
We had so much fun, we're going to try to make it a weekly or semi-monthly activity. It may even be expanded
into a "Game Night". There was talk of other card games that might get up a table or two. We will try to keep it
on a Wednesday or Thursday evening - depending on what else is going on. Y'all come out on the next one
and see for yourselves.
If you have a favorite game you
would like to play, whether it be
cards, board game, dominoes, or
dice, let Nancy Ritzmann know.
I’m sure she will arrange a night
we can all try it!

Ahoy TYC and First Mates.
First Mates had their regular board meeting on 9 August, 2007.
Discussions surrounded our upcoming “Annual Pool Party & General
First Mates Meeting” to be held on 29 September, 2007 at the home of
Mary Pat Landry – please see the invitation enclosed in this month’s Spy
Glass.
I would like to thank fellow First Mates for stepping in to ensure that our “Game Night”
continued for everyone wishing to participate. We had several successful evenings learning
to play “Bourré (Booray)”. We will continue to have “Game Night” on Thursday evenings
in conjunction with our “Happy Hoursssssssss”.
Looks like we will have a good “Football Season” this year, TYC is a great place to meet and
bring some of your friends to enjoy the games and our spectacular view. See you at the Club.
Nancy Ritzmann – 985-641-8618 or ritz-n@charter.net.
FOOTBALL SEASON IS HERE AGAIN!
TYC First Mates are hosting Football Night at the club. Whenever the Saints play,
there is either food or snacks of some kind and plenty of great company to cheer on
our team. So, when there is a Saints game televised, come on out and bring a snack
to share. Its great fun and exciting to hear everyone clapping and cheering when
something good happens. We hope to see you for Football Night.
RACE COMMITTEE REPORT
Saturday, August 25, we held the make-up races for the club series. Kyle Bowser in Kokopelli, Kenny
LaNata in Weather Witch and Tommy Thompson in John Winston came out for a day of racing. Wayne
Jablonowski graciously provided power boat support for the Committee Boat. Wayne and Beth set a nice
windward leeward course. Kokopelli needed to win only one race to take the series. Tommy came out for a
casual race and kept the other two crews honest. This could be the first or second race on his own boat.
Weather Witch suffered a couple of bad shifts and Kokopelli had a nice lead at the first mark. While Kenny
was able to close the gap he was unable to catch Kyle. The second race was the Lean Polderman make-up.
Again Kokopelli was first at the mark but on the last leeward leg Weather Witch caught a favorable puff and
roared down on Kokopelli like a freight train. Positioning herself with Kokopelli in her wind shadow forced a
jibe and Kokopelli suffered a tangled jib sheet downhaul casualty that allowed Weather Witch a passing lane.
Weather Witch crossed the line first and won on corrected time by mere seconds. Congratulations to all the
sailors. We will award the traditional Lean Polderman trophies at Friday Night dinner.
Don’t forget the Wednesday night Bill Watson Fall Series signup is September 5th, with races starting the
following Wednesday. And of course the TYC Single Handed Race Around the Lake is September 15th. We
always need volunteers to help with Committee Boat so please get in touch with Steve Jones if you are
looking for a good excuse to use your boat, whether you want to compete or support the Race Committee.

FROM OUR CLUB MANAGER…….
Well TYC Members! Here we are two years after Katrina
and I think we have come through pretty well! I want to
give many thanks to so many of you for your participation
in your club! Without you, our members, coming up to
patron the events and dinners at TYC we would not have
made it through the re-opening as well, or where we are
today! We are coming into 2008 pretty fast and I hope that
we have your support this coming year as well. Tammany
Yacht Club is a small club and I know many are thinking
that we may not have enough sailing involvement to fit their
needs, but my hat is off to the group who did keep it
together even after the devastation Katrina left us in. A
devoted group did manage to organize the "Two Against the
Lake Race" in 2006, then in 2007 when TYC opened, the
same devoted group pulled off the Bill Watson Series, with
generous donations for t-shirts and trophies from some of
our members, some members who participated in the Gulfport to Pensacola and many other races that may
not have started from Tammany, but still we had Tammany faces who kept active in these races representing
our club. Without their devoted participation some of these races would not have taken place! For those of
you who were not able to make the Calypso Party!! Well I can only say you missed a great event! Many
thanks to Val Monahan, Kelley Richardt, Darnell Godwin, Sandy McPeek and so many others for making it
a great success! As time flies by us so fast sometimes we forget that we can find our friends at TYC so see
you at the club!
Your Club Manager,
Dodie Jones
NEW MEMBER
RECRUITMENT
There were fourteen guests at the Calypso Party.
Kyle and Val invited Rick and Trish Blocker
who have visited TYC one other time. They
indicated that they would like to join.
Alan and Emilie Coulter brought their
neighbors Robert and Thursday Juneau who
are prospective members.
Peggy Stone had her friend Jeannine Adam
with her.
If there had been a prize for the most guests at
the party, Darnell Godwin certainly would have
won! She had nine of her friends there. They
were Dave, Lori, Jon, Tom, Karen, Butch,
Jed, Shelley, and Jan.
