COMMODORE’S COMMENTS
Fall is a time for Thanksgiving!
A
s daylight savings
time becomes a recent memory, Fall is a time
to be thankful for the great
fun we’ve shared at the Club
throughout this past Spring
and Summer. Again, I want
to thank everyone who has
contributed to making 2006 such a spectacular
year both on the water and off.
Our Moorage Upgrade Committee has completed a study of the pilings in our moorage.
The Board recently approved funding the first
group to be replaced with steel pilings. This
replacement process will continue for the next
few years until all the pilings are state of the art
steel.
and we are in the final phases of redesigning the
Bar, Flag Room, and potentially a Lounge Area
in the North end of the Ballroom. The House
& Grounds Committee is actively working
toward getting this underway. They’ve done
an exceptional job of getting the dining room
updated.
I didn’t know PYC had so many Pirates, but in
late September over 120 members and guests
enjoyed our Entertainment Committee’s Pirates Party an’ Pig Roast. The pictures on the
front cover only show half the fun of the evening! Many thanks to Frank Tillman for organizing the pig cooking party (truly the best
ever) and to Berkeley and Carole Smith for organizing the booty hunt on the Island. Several
members brought their children and everyone
had an exciting time!
Bob Martin wasn’t to be outdone as he put together our annual Beacon Rock Cruise. I’m
not sure what Bob did differently this year,
but we set several records for participation: almost 40 club boats (16 sail boats) with over
90 members who enjoyed perfect weather, Bob
The Bar area of the Club gets substantial use Sudlow’s famous crawdads, wonderful New
York steak dinner, and great merriment celebrating at least two birthdays.
Meanwhile, the Finance Committee has been
tasked with looking into all funding options to
expedite upgrades to our moorage – replacing
the existing docks with cement docks.

The renovation of the Dining Room by the
House and Grounds Committee is virtually
completed. The 120 members and guests who
attended PYC’s Salmon Feed not only enjoyed
John LeDoux’s tasty fresh Chinook salmon
with all the trimmings, but the new ambiance
of the dining room. John’s motto throughout
the planning and execution of the event was the
KISS principle (Keep It Simple and Straightforward) and it paid off extremely well!
Our Portlight Editors, at the suggestion of
Ander’s Printers, switched to printing our Portlight on recycled paper the last two months.
The quality is still top notch!
Looking ahead at November’s Mix:
• Don’t put your Hawaiian shirt away yet as
it is almost mandatory garb for OCSA’s Beach
Party, culminating the 2006 sailing season
with a fabulous evening complete with live
music and a silent auction. Sailors really know
how to party!
• November 5th brings a different twist to past
wine tasting events – instead of visiting the local vineyards, we are bringing an Italian wine
expert to PYC. Italy produces a wide variety
of wines besides Chianti in their 20 distinct re-
gions. To find out more, sign up for the casual
three hours of learning, sampling, and having a
fun time!
• With so much on the November schedule, we
only could fit in one Cookout on Nov 10th. Be
sure to bring the whole gang. Our movie masters won’t let you down! The following cookout
on December 1st will also feature Hollywood’s
best!
• Stan Borys and the “Last Act Repertory Theatre Group” promise a hilarious night at my
expense during the upcoming Commodore’s
Roast. What did Diane and I do to justify this
humiliation???
• If you suddenly realize you did not get enough
cruising during Summer, pack your heater and
join other PYC members Thanksgiving weekend for the “non – official” Left Over Cruise to
the Outstation. No dockmaster, no schedule,
just a fun time for all!
• PYC’s 98th Annual Meeting is Monday, November 27th. Included in this important meeting are the election of your 2007 Officers and
Trustees, a financial update, Committee Reports and a presentation of the 2007 proposed
budget by Vice Commodore Heather Adams.
Members will also get to select the 2006 winner
of the “Boner’s Award” from a potentially long
list of nominees. Another traditional award,
the Larry Barber Trophy, will be awarded to the
“Outstanding PYC Member of 2006”.
• Invitations are going out soon to PYC’s Ladies’ Holiday Dinner on Dec 6th, entitled
“Christmas Memories.” This is an event that
always sells out quickly so please make your reservations early!
• Speaking of the Holidays, Thanksgiving weekend is always a great weekend to decorate your
boat or boathouse for the Holidays. We’ll again
have prizes for the best decorated as we “Light
Up PYC For The Holidays”.
Fair Winds and Following Seas!

We are having a ball! We are going to
Campbell River (Vancouver Island) tomorrow, and from there, we’ll begin our trip
south to Victoria where we’ll moor our boat
and winter over at the Coast Hotel Marina
with a view of the Empress Hotel. We will
be visiting Portland in November to pick
up a car that we’ll drive north for the winter. We will definitely stop by the club to
say “hi” and reconnect with friends.

I
don’t know if all of
you have heard yet,
but our Office Manager Shannon Thayne has moved back
to North Carolina to be near
her family. She has worked
here since 2002 and has been
instrumental in organizing and
running the office in a manner that literally
changed our landscape. Before Shannon came,
it took two employees to do her job. She not
only possessed excellent skills, but also came to
work with a great attitude and a sense of humor.
I will miss her skills as well as her friendship. I
know that we all wish her the best of luck in her
future endeavors.
Now I would like to introduce you to Julie Reagan. She has been hired to take over Shannon’s
job so please stop by and introduce yourselves to
her. She has been training for three weeks with
Shannon and will be an asset to our team. We
have also hired Ron Sexton to assist Terry on the
docks and with our maintenance. Ron recently
moved here from Tennessee. We are expecting
great things from Ron.
Our Friday night happy hours are really taking
off. If you haven’t joined us yet, please give us
a try. It’s a great way to relax after the work
week.

PYC ROCKS
F
riday the 13th turned out to be a
lucky day for our PYC Auction.
How fortunate we are to have so many
members who put forth of their time and
efforts to make this auction so successful.
Kudos to our Vice-Commodore, Heather
Adams, who worked diligently to put the
event together. A big “thank you” to all
of the donors, bidders, committee people
and staff for making this event very special.
Also, “thank you” to the young people of
Southridge High School in Beaverton for
serving dinner and to the Sea Scouts for
their participation.
During the Silent Auction, we enjoyed listening to the music of the Lowell J. Mitchell duo. After the closing of the Silent Auction, a delicious lasagna dinner, supplied by
Ted and Betsy Leonardi, was served, along
with a spinach/parmesan spread, antipasti,
salad, various breads and a dessert of volcano ice cream, prepared by Chef Dale
Richards and his staff.
First prize in the successful raffle ($10,000+
raised) was a three-day trip to the magnificent Bellagio Hotel in Las Vegas. The big
winners were Frank and Sandra Tillman
(who, at the time, were vacationing in sunny Mexico).
During the oral auction, conducted by
James Dean and Russ Kuhn, one of the notable bids of the evening was for member
#1908, which was won by Berkeley and
Carole Smith…..notable for the fact that
Berkeley and Carole will be Commodore
and First Lady in 2008.
It appears PYC has raised approximately
$60,000+ for our Centennial Year.
The level of participation was so great by
new and long-time members that we would
have to reprint nearly the entire roster to
properly thank everyone…so
THANK YOU ALL

Light Up PYC for the Holidays
Win Prizes for the Best Decorated
Boat or Boathouse in your Row
PYC is always a very festive place during
the Holidays. The Holiday Magic is even
greater when our Boats and Boathouses are
illuminated by Christmas Lights!
Diane and I will be decorating our boat with
strings of colorful outdoor lights over the
Thanksgiving weekend. So please join the
fun by decorating your boat or boathouse!!
We’d like all the boats and boathouses lit
up by December 5th, as the first Parade of
Christmas Ships on the Columbia will be
Thursday, December 7th. This year we will
give prizes to the Best Decorated Boat or
Boathouse by Row. Judging to be in early
December (weather dependent).
We’d also like to light up each row at night
by putting lights on the row’s handrail via
a photocell or timer. If you have outdoor
light sets you’d like to contribute to the effort, please drop them off at the club (C7s
or C9s). If you’d like to donate some electricity to your Row’s festivities or help staple
the light strings, please let the office or me
know.
Let’s Light Up the River for PYC!!

Bogart), Nora Temple (Lauren Bacall)
and her invalid father-in-law face a worse
storm inside the Temples’ tumbledown
Florida hotel. Frank stopped by merely
to pay his respects to war-widow Nora,

exiled gangster Johnny Rocco (Edward G.
Robinson) and his band of goons. Will the
war-weary Frank step up to the plate to
save the Temples?

Marilyn and her lover plot to kill Cotton
by flinging him over the falls, but their
plan goes awry in this fine noirish thriller.
This time around, Marilyn even … sings!

Day of the Iguana
n September 27 some of PYC’s
most enthusiastic golfers participated in what promises to be the first of
many “all-club” golf fests. Twenty intrepid
men and women played the “scramble” on
Broadmoor International Golf Course’s
challenging front nine. Expertly organized
and marshaled by Linda Nurss and Gayle
Timmerman, the event was followed by
luncheon and awards. Longest drive was
won by Howard Shaw, “KP” (closest to
the pin) by Julie Hinkley, and the winning foursome, at one over par, included
Bo Knab, Karen Owings, Ron Nurss and
Larry Snyder. The event was such a success
that the plan is for both a Spring and a Fall
event next year.

n Sunday October 8, we had our
annual salmon feed. Thanks to
Fred, we were able to enjoy some of the
best salmon of the season. Unlike the past
several years where we have been supplied
with farm raised salmon, this year was special; we had the luxury of enjoying fresh
Chinook Salmon from the Columbia River. The salmon was prepared on the BBQ
with a lemon garlic mayo glaze, slices of
orange and a light dusting of fresh Italian
parsley. The salmon was accompanied by
wine, green beans almandine, coleslaw and
garlic French bread. To top it off we were
treated to a wonderful carrot cake. Although the committee did an outstanding
job with little effort, the evening could not
have been truly enjoyed without the excellent help of Fred and his staff. Thanks
bunches for your efforts. Thank you committee; Jim and Julie Hinkley, Skip and
Mary Ann Nitchie, Nancy Kirk and her
friend Phil (the fire man), Bob and Elaine
Sudlow, and my lovely wife Lisa. Together
we made an easy, friendly time of working
the salmon feed. So on with the tradition.
rrr! A vast thar me hearties! PYC
got into the “Talk like a Pirate”
week spirit with a Pirate and Pig Roast
Party. Over 130 pirate clad members and
guests attended the fun filled evening. Barbara Peterson and Julie Hinkley decorated
the club house in pirate style with skeletons and treasure chests filled with gold
doubloons. A dingy excursion across the
sea to “Treasure Island” revealed an exciting and fun filled Treasure Hunt, put forth
by Carole and Berkeley Smith, along with
helpers Bruce and Rachel Aschim, Nancy
Kirk, and Cheryl McNaughton. The treasure hunt involved many sailor skills and
was rewarded by fine pirate booty, claimed
by Captain Don Dell! Brian and Donna
Moore welcomed PYC Pirateers to a true
pirate feast with a fabulous roast pig or
two, slowly cooked over an open pit by
Captains Frank Tillman, Bob Lyon, Jim
Hinkley, Russ Kuhn, Ken Free, and Dan
Dickson. First Mates Sandra Tillman, Sandi Free and Julie Hinkley served the feast
with flair. The evening was capped off with
entertainment by Freddie Anderson singing country ballads.

Locks Please lock your boat and boathouse when you leave the area.
Lighting Consider installing motion sen-
sor lights on the front, rear, and interior of
your boathouse. Enhanced lighting on all
rows would improve the moorage security.
Alarms Technology has advanced sig-
nificantly in this area. Monitored alarm
systems are available for both vessels and
boathouses.
Limit Access Please don’t prop open the
gate near ‘N row’, as this allows others easy
access to the moorage. The same holds true
for the automated gate to the PYC lower
parking lot. If you see the gate stuck in
the open position please contact the PYC
office, or the security company and inform
them of the situation.
Reduce Temptation Do not leave
your neighbors and those who moor on
your row.
Burglars search for the easiest target of opportunity. Locks, lighting, alarms, limited
access, reduced temptation, all decrease
the odds of a burglary. At this time the
PYC Manager and Board of Trustees are
researching various ways to enhance our
overall security posture. Please do your
part to help keep the bad guys on the other
side of the fence.

he two jumped straight up out
of the water next to the boat facing each other several feet above the surface and dove back in as if performing at
a Marineland show. But these porpoises
weren’t, they were offshore with their pals
chasing and playing in our bow wave as we
slid down swells in 30 knots of wind with
gusts to 35. The autopilot held well but
while the porpoises played a swell pushed
us around too far jibing the main. First the
preventer line broke and the boom swung
across the boat and the stainless fitting
holding the block to the boom broke and
the sail swung to leeward unattached and
free. After a brief discussion Craig Shambaugh took the wheel and with the help of
the engine got us into the wind enough so
the main could be brought down and secured. Within hours we were in the lee of
Cape Mendocino and had to motor into
Noyo River, our second stop since leaving Portland Aug 10. Noyo River is next
to Fort Bragg in Northern CA and is shallow and narrow. It seemed we were entering a strange quiet backwater after the roar
of the ocean. Next morning large sea lions
did come on the dock, as Don Eudaly had
warned me, but not on our forger. That
night we anchored outside the breakwater
of Bodega Bay and the next afternoon went
under the Golden Gate on a strong flood
with a growing westerly wind: perfect. The
City passed us almost too quickly as one
wanted to savor the afternoon sail.
We stayed 15 miles south of the Bay Bridge
at the Coyote Point Yacht Club in San
Mateo. Our daughter Joanie lives nearby.
Dick, the other crew, thought the yacht
club was very hospitable as they made the
showers sway the same as the boat. He was
still rocking.
Three weeks later Janet and I left in thick
fog. The only way we knew we were going
under the Bay Bridge is hearing the traffic and looking up and seeing the bridge’s
underside. The fog lifted momentarily
enabling us to see North Beach and Fisherman’s Wharf area. That night we ate in
the seafood restaurant at Half Moon Bay
or Pillar Point Harbor as they call it. The
same restaurant I ate in 25 years ago while
anchored there in our 27’ sloop. Before I
had calamari and beer, this time I had calamari and beer. This was a trip back in time.
Our next stop was Santa Cruz where one
of my sisters lives. The little boat harbor
was a bustle with boating activity. As a
transient boat we were end tied and had a
front row seat. We were warmly welcomed
at the Santa Cruz Yacht Club. Our departure from Santa Cruz was delayed a day. All
but one line was cast off when a boat came
in and told us that it was blowing like stink
out there--30 to 35 knots he said. Janet said
no way. Back for another beer at the yacht
club that night. The next day proved to be
a very pleasant sail across Monterey Bay
and around the corner to Carmel’s Stillwater Cove. The days were getting shorter
and a chill was in the air.
Next stop San Simeon. There the bay was
full of skittish Harbor Seals fishing. They
followed as I rowed ashore but when you
looked at them they would dive with a
splash. Unless you are in a harbor most
California coves and bays have a surge and
a surf to deal with landing. This was no different. We were out of practice and almost
flipped the dingy beaching. It was a short
walk to the Hearst Castle entrance and
there were no crowds that day. There at the
Castle the tour guide told us that the haze
in the air, we had noticed it the day before,
was from a fire farther south. That fire was
just controlled several days ago.
San Luis Obispo Bay is not a particularly
pretty bay. But what was interesting there
was the realization that sea lions had basically taken over. The only floating dock
was protected by a chain link fence. From
there we made the run around Pt Conception. Winds were predicted to gust to 30 in
the afternoon. So we left in the early morning. We tucked into San Miguel Island, the
western most of the Channel Islands, and
that night at anchor the winds did gust to
30.
The next day the weather was calm and
warm and we walked the long clean white
sand beach and met the island ranger of the
National Park Service. San Miguel along
with four other channel islands is a National
Park. That afternoon the park ranger lead a
group to the east point to view juvenile sea
elephants. It was a long but beautiful walk
with views of Santa Rosa and Santa Cruz
Islands farther to the east. The ranger told
us that 22 to 23 thousand sea lion pups are
born yearly on San Miguel Island alone! But
hook worm has infested the herd. Maybe
there will be a balance. After seeing the sea
elephants at the east end we realized that
the group of 25 on shore were also young
sea elephants. We should have realized this
as they did not bark but communicated by
grunts and burps to the degree that they
would have made any teenage boy envious
of their ability to make gross noises.
After stops at Santa Cruz Island we sailed
for Santa Barbara and took a slip. Checking in to Canada is easier. They wanted to
see the ship’s papers, get paid up front and
then put a dye in the head so we wouldn’t
discharge into the bay. We visited a friend
there who drove us around and let us use
her washing machine and drove us to a grocery store. We also visited the Mission.
Back at Santa Cruz Island for one night
we ran into a couple we had met in Hawaii! They were not on their own boat so
when they hailed us from kayaks it was a
real surprise as they live in Balboa. We were
invited for drinks on the boat where they
were guests and stayed for dinner. The next
morning we went on to tiny Santa Barbara
Island for the night then to Catalina. There,
at Catalina, we anchored in one of the only
coves facing the mainland that doesn’t have
mooring buoys. There were plenty of empty buoys but unlike 40 years ago boats now
have to pay and it is not cheap.
Now we are docked in Alamitos Bay in
Long Beach, at a dock owned by my other
sister. We’ll stay here about 3 weeks then on
to Newport Beach, San Diego and Mexico
the first part of November.
Thank you Wylie Grabisch for use of your
CA chart books. And hello to all PYC members. Hope all is well with each of you.

PYC’s Tour of Italian Wines
Sunday November 5th from 3 – 6 PM
No need to go all the way to Italy. Join Cooie Bates, an expert
in Italian Wines, for a casual presentation at the Club, Italian
Hors D’oerves, and sampling of several Italian Premium
Wines.
In just three hours you will become more knowledgeable in the
very diverse varieties of Italian wines (whites, reds, desserts,
etc). Learn the many subtleties that comprise the different
Italian Wine Regions and how to best match your food menu
with appropriate wine.
This will be the perfect opportunity to restock your wine cellar
for the upcoming Holidays. Wine will be offered at wholesale
prices.
$12 per person
Please call and make your reservations by November 1st
