Commodore’s Report: By Cal Parent
Well, here we are, rapidly approaching the hot summer months and it seems like only
yesterday that my Commodore's flag was hoisted and now I am just about half way through
my year as your Commodore.
A special thank you to Lucy Feit as Chairperson of our "Past Commodores’ Ball". There is
a lot of work that goes into this event and as usual, Lucy, you did it flawlessly. Thank you.
Also, Terry Weiss, as usual, has stepped forward for another difficult task and taken
inventory and organized our warehouse, again. Terry, what would we do without you?
Thank you!
Linda and I, along with many of you, will be heading north shortly. However, we will be returning mid May
for the Sailfish Marina Cruise and also again in June for the Bimini Cruise. We may not see a lot of you until
next fall so have a great summer and remember, wherever you are, make each day "Another Day in
Paradise"!
Fleet Captain’s Report: By Al Tupek
We cruise to Sailfish Marina on Singer Island from May 15-17. Michael Baron is arranging
a tennis round robin on Saturday. Thank you Michael. We’ll explore Peanut Island on
Saturday afternoon and have a picnic. We’ll have a group dinner at the Sailfish Marina
restaurant on Friday and a Pig Roast at the Islander Grill and Tike Bar on Saturday. Drive
ups are welcomed and encouraged. Ten boats are signed up for Sailfish as of this writing.
We also have ten boats signed up for our June 18-23 trip to the Big Game Marina on Bimini.
A big thanks to Neal Mitchell for arranging the Bimini trip. Our cruise to Anglers Club in
Key Largo was a big success. Millie Moyer arranged for us to have a wonderful time there.
Thank you Millie.

Rear Commodore’s Report: By Leslie Baron
Greetings. It was a beautiful evening for the Past Commodores’ Ball and the event was
enjoyed by all those who attended. A special thanks to Lucy Feit and Jack Holman for
hosting the ball and to their decorating committee for making the room a special tribute to
our very own Hall the Famers, the 14 Past Commodores and/or their ladies who honored us
with their presence.
Our Spring Membership Meeting and dinner party had an interesting theme, it was a BlackTie Barbeque! It was our first time ever hosting anything like this and it was a lot of fun.
The evening was hosted by Rick and Kathy Hall, Connie Johnson and Mike Miller. They made it an
evening of fun and surprises. A good time was had by all.

Blue Gavel Report: By President & P/C Hal Bishop
We only had a small group for lunch on April 14, since a lot of people are travelling or
recovering from Easter, and there are a few with health issues. The small group gave us a
chance to talk about possible upcoming events and some things we need to plan for the
future.
Our next meeting will be May 12 at the LPYRC. There is a District 8 Spring Meeting May 2930 at the Dunedin Boat Club in Dunedin, Fl.
The mission of the International Order of the Blue Gavel (IOBG) is
to recognize Past Commodores of the international yachting
community and unite them to promote the highest ideals of
yachting and preserve their traditions. All Past Commodores of
any recognized yacht club are invited to join our activities.
