Fall is in full swing with many club events underway. The
Labor Day Cruise to Turnberry Isle was a great success.
Youth Sailing's first two sessions are in the can. The first four
buoys races have been run with the remaining races and the
Commodore's Cup up for grabs. The Columbus Day
Regatta was held on Biscayne Bay. We had many participants. We'll find out who won the gold on October, 13 at the
Coral Reef Yacht Club. Last year after 2 full days of hard

Club Credo
The purpose of the Hillsboro Inlet Sailing Club is to develop, encourage, and stimulate an interest in sailing in the Hillsboro Inlet area. It
is our responsibility to promote fellowship and camaraderie among
sailors in our club, among sailors in the area and among our guests.

as always it was a blast. Glory Daze will

Good luck Carl and crew and all of you club
members who are racing this fantastic annual
event.
Exciting General Meeting programs have been
set up for the rest of the year except for
October. If you know of a good local speaker
or program call Paul Chasse. He may still be
looking. We also have a blood drive on
October 12 and a Sailing Social on October
20. Don't forget the Holland's Monster Mash
(no rain, please) in early November.
Not on your calendar is a very important
Youth Sailing event set for November 17 at
Lou Klockziem's home. We will be seeking
volunteers to help refurbish our fleet of sailing
dinghies and Lasers. More on that from
Dennis. When it comes to volunteering, this
club proves again and again that it definitely
"steps up to the plate". It is why the Club is so
successful. It's really great to see our members
and especially our new members seek out the
chair persons to offer to help. It's a win win for
both parties as the new members get to know
the old members and become familiar with the
workings of the club. The chairpersons get
good solid volunteers (future club managers)
to accomplish their goals for the year.
Membership
An application for membership in HISC may be obtained from
membership chairpersons Bob & Joyce Tigar @ (954) 781-5910 or by
contacting any club member. There is a $30.00 initiation fee and annual dues

We are pleased to welcome 4 new members to the Club this
month.
Judi & Steve Marcus are transplants to South Florida, but
are long-time Floridians. Judi has been in Florida for 25 years
and Steve is a lifer. Until recently they lived in Hypoluxo, and
are in the process of selling the home they own there.
Peter & Laura Sileo
Meanwhile, they live in Boca and plan to make it permanent.
Judi said they like the community atmosphere of South
Florida better. They have been boating a long time and
currently own a 36' Luhrs powerboat named "Hey Jude".
They dock it near Vern & Tarina from "Princess Tarina". One
thing led to another and Judi & Steve decided to join in on the
fun. They are looking foreword to participating in The Club's Judi & Steve Marcus
cruising activities.

Tom Mattioli has done a significant amount of competitive (561) 241-5808
rowing and has coached high school teams. He currently jsmarcus@bellsouth.net
coaches women's fast pitch softball. Tom has been sailing Hey Jude - 36 Luhrs
since 2000 and has actually raced in The Columbus Day
Regattas. He placed 4th twice and 2nd twice. He owns a Jens & Allison Van Holten

ROSTER UPDATES
Peter and Laura Sileo got their 1st boat 20 years ago.
Since then they have had 5 or 6 boats and currently have a
Pacemaker 36 Powerboat Named "Rita's Mink". Pete has
been in South Florida since last December. Laura joined him
in March. They are from Connecticut. They missed the
marina atmosphere and think that HISC can give them that
same kind of opportunity for fun. They are probably right.
Watch for them at the clubs cruising activities.

HISC Beer Can Wrap Up 2007
The Seven Seas Cruising Association (SSCA) has developed a new presentation about their programs and activities.
Tom Garvey did it! Once again, putting out a terrific effort,
Tom encouraged the local sponsors to support our Beer Can
summer race series, and thereby allowed us to have such
good prizes and fun on the water at no net expense to HISC.
Many thanks to the following:
We are going to have the good fortune to hear all about them
at our October General meeting. This Association is a great
support resource for cruising sailors both locally and around
the world.

Ferrari Technical Textiles
Hillsboro Inlet Brewery
KMC Marine
Lighthouse Point Yacht & Racquet Club
Mango Marine
Merritt Supply

Amy Thurman from SSCA will be presenting a slide show
and discussion that should prove to be interesting to all of us
who cruise in the nearby waters as well as to distant shores.
Amy is an avid sailor and has cruised and raced competitively
on Lake Lanier. We look forward to hearing from her.
Please do patronize these local businesses when you get a
chance and thank them for their support.
Of the 19 boats that came out this year for one or more beer
can races, eight finally did at least six races to qualify for the
overall series victory, and, since the fleet was divided into two
classes, A & B, there were six trophies awarded in the form
of engraved plaques! In the A fleet they went to Third Tri, ETicket, and Susimi. In the B fleet they went to Blue Runner,
Pi, and Karma. Congratulations to all of them. And finally,
as a result of the best point score of all the qualifiers, the
overall 2007 Beer Can trophy… the traditional Beer Can
Bed Pan… goes to Blue Runner!!! A hearty "Well Done"
to them and to all the competitors who came out and enjoyed
the Wednesday night fun.
See you next summer same time, same place, at the HI buoy!

Race
Report
by Hal Steward,
Southern Breeze
Attention all HISC Racers! We finished the Spring Season
and we are now in our Fall Season. It was hard to determine
when one ended and the next began! Hopefully the weather
will cooperate better.
Of course I always have to thank Cindy Cowan for race
results and trophies, and the loyal buoy setters, the crews of
Glory Daze and E-Ticket. All of the volunteers for beach
committee are to be commended as well. By the way, we are
still in need of volunteers for this duty. Without a committee
there is no race.
We are beginning the Fall Series and we have new members
with new boats, we have old members with new boats, we
have old members with new old boats! Whew we have a
variety of changes to the scratch sheet. Co-Chair Ken Scott
has really been busy getting PHRF ratings for these boats.
Some housekeeping issues for the new series:
Make sure that if you have changed your boat, or made any
improvements or changes on your existing boat that you notify
Ken Scott or me to adjust your rating accordingly. Remember to call Hutch Hutcheson if you need crew or if you want
to be crew and he will post that in the inlet outlet.
We had 25 boats for The Commodore's Cup this year. It was
a drag race down the beach and those boats that go to
weather made it down on a single tack. Others that went close
to the beach found a obstacle coarse of dive flags everywhere. At one point Southern Breeze got boxed in and had
to sail back north to get away from them. I swear, I think one
diver was on an underwater scooter and was chasing us.
Most of our boats did a pretty good job keeping clear of the
dive flags. But, a few are still not giving the three hundred feet.
You know who you are and you need to work on that. Get
those young eyes on deck as lookouts for those little red dive
flags.
E-Ticket was the ARC winner and Susimi 1ST place winner
for JAM fleet A. The first place for JAM B and overall
page 11
Commodore's Cup Trophy went to Michael and Peggy
Peteler on Unicorn. Thanks to Moe Leonard for arranging a
different venue for the after race party. And thanks to Peter
Wilkinson for the famous (secret recipe) pancake breakfast
and to the Past Commodores Tom and Anita Garvey and
Tom Jockers for cooking.
3rd place JAM A

Be fast at Columbus Day. Let's bring home some more gold
this year.
And don't forget Fall Series 5 & 6 is on Oct. 14th. The crew
of Condor has volunteered for beach committee but we still
need a Lead Beach Committee Person, someone with flag
and race experience. Call me or Ken if you are that person.

Review
by your Social Committee
View #1
I thought this was one of the most fun Commodore Cups yet!
Maureen and Tim have done a great job this year, and this
event was no different! I was glad to be able to participate.
And Hal and I were even happier that we actually got there in
time for dinner! Now, we are slow, no doubt about it, but
there are reasons for that. Let me make this clear, one of them
is NOT my many shoes that we are carrying! First; Southern
Breeze is a luxury comfort yacht (refrigeration, air conditioning, microwave); second; Hal makes sure we have all the tools
and parts to rebuild it on the fly even though he claims he can
do everything with his leather man which only weighs ½
pound! And thirdly we were on a virtual obstacle course! We
did miss pool time but we had to make sure that air conditioning was working! (Are we spoiled?)
Maureen did a great job organizing a new venue and menu and
it worked out really well. We had a total of 99 participants
and only a couple of no shows. I thought the trophies were
really nice, (oh from afar!) The only way SB will get one is if
there are only 3 boats in our fleet! It was a great day; we had
a good quiet sail. Thanks to the patient beach committee for
seeing us to the finish!
a relaxed evening with good food at a good price. Complete
with a rousing awards presentations and neat prizes, the
recipients were pleased, as those who didn't do as well licked
their wounds. Maybe next year!
Commodore's Cup is always a highlight in our club. It is such
a pleasure to spend time with our fellow boaters. That's what
it is all about!! It was a different venue, less expensive food
and a casual atmosphere - a winning combination. Our hope
is that it was enjoyed by all.

The 36th Annual Commodore's Cup dinner at the Bahia
Cabana was attended by 99 members and their guests.
Members arrived around six in the evening for cocktails. The
awards ceremony followed at six thirty with Past Commodore now race chair Hal "in the money" Steward. At seven
o'clock dinner was served and the lines formed. Bahia
Cabana was as accommodating as could be, kept the food
coming and thanks to Julie Tice we even had tomatoes on our
salad.
Boy, it was a warm night. I nearly melted and I couldn't
believe that Tim never took off his tie. I owe a sincere thank
you to my dear friends Beth Dailey and Mary Steward for all
their help in planning and executing this fun party, to Cindy
Cowan for all she does to help me behind the scenes, to all
of you who attended because you make it what it is and to Tim
just because.
The Garveys and Wilkinson clans did a great breakfast, the Moe Leonard
commodore supplied mimosas to die for, and there were
some other goodies contributed by members. Peter had some
extra helpers this year. Tom Jockers who can whip up a mean
pancake and his daughter Laura May assisted Peter and
Rebecca, exclusive of course of revealing the famous family
secret recipe.
In my humble opinion, what make the event are the people
who attend, participate, and socialize. So it can be too hot,
too loud, too rainy, but NEVER too crowded, as we are more
than just sailing/cruising buddies, we are a boating community
and friends, used to confined spaces! I am proud to be part
of it too.

By Shirley Kay, Harmony
What a glorius weekend for the HISC get-together at
Turnberry Marina & Yacht Club over Labor Day. The
sailing/motoring down and boack found calm seas and light
breezes. Nine boats participated: Ayla, Arielle, Ciboney,
Condor, Cracker Jack, Glory Daze, Harmony, Magic &
Unforgettable. We were sorry that Nee Cee, who anchored in Lake Sylvia with Aloha & Harmony on Friday
night, had mechanical problems and returned to Light House
Point on Saturday morning. We had drive-in/drop-ins as
well. The Sullivans on Saturday afternoon and Leonards on
Sunday morning were a welcome addition to our group.
Sunday evening and then lying about on lounge chairs watching Pirates of the Caribbean projected onto the side of the
building. Just like being on a cruise ship! Thank you Mike
Duval & Jim Perrott.
Of course, we all enjoyed Ken & Yvonnes Scott's sumptuous Sunday morning breakfast: Bananas Foster, French
toast, sausages, etc, etc. What a menu! Thank you Ken and
Yvonne. The Scotts also brought their Snark and the children
enjoyed sailing in the marina. Monday morning saw boats
departing at their leisure to wend their way home or stop to
snorkel (Glory Daze & Magic). Just a wonderful relaxing
weekend to rest from our labors!!
The facilities and staff at the resort made for a very pleasant
stay. What more could one ask than lying on lounge chairs,
talking, napping, reading, talking and jumping into the beautiful pool, sharing cocktails and hor d'oeuvres in the evening.

some found 2 for 1 margaritas!). Sharing a potluck dinner on

You should never let your guard down while cruising. Just
when things seem to be going fine, the unexpected occurs.
Spent several days in mid-August in downtown Boston.
Linked up with Capt Pete Gustafson on "Magic Moments".
Do we get a cruising point for this rendezvous?? We were
staying at a marina downtown, so had easy access to the heart
of the city. Played tourist. Capt Pete was headed south after
the visit, and enlisted fellow HISC members Tom Fagan and
Sully Sullivan as crew.
After that experience, we were in good spirits. ICE! YES!!
As soon as we went through the Cape Cod Canal, summer
returned. Every day has been in the 80's or 90's since then.
Last week, though, another casualty. We were in Baltimore,
and Elizabeth noticed that the water heater in the engine room
was askew. It had started to leak and expanded the insulation. Not a pretty site (What was Elizabeth doing in the engine
room anyway, that's MY TERRITORY?). Got to Annapolis
and called West Marine. They had an exact replacement IN
STOCK. Former HISC member Ron McKie provided
transportation, and it only took a day to install (while on a
mooring). We still can't figure out how we were so lucky in
getting things fixed so expeditiously, but we're not complaining.
As an East Coast cruiser, I've noticed a marked decrease in
VHF radio traffic both between boats and ship to shore.
We've cruised all summer with another boat and used our cell
phones for both ship to ship communications and calls to
marinas for services. It appears that the rest of the cruising
world is doing the same. Interesting by-product of the tech
world. But don't tell the fishermen that, as they still clog the
channels with "fish tales" where ever we go.
We are now heading for Norfolk to begin our trip down the

a whale cavorting for a whale watch boat. On to Wellfleet, Anyone see any hurricanes headed our way?
which is on the inside of Cape Cod, to meet friends. Reached
in to the freezer for ice cubes (5 o'clock somewhere) and
found only water. The refrigerator had decided to stop
working. Shore friends provided coolers, so we off loaded
the contents and bought a lot of ice. Now the decision as to
what to do? Called the local Norcold distributor on the Cape.
Was given a list of repairmen, and called the one in the
direction we were headed. He arranged for a slip at a marina
in Onset, MA. We showed up the next day, and he promptly
appeared and analyzed the problem (compressor was shot).
Delivered and installed a new Nova refrigerator with the
same built-in footprint, with 50 percent more capacity, at 9
AM the next morning. Under way by noon. How good is
that? When you are traveling far away from home and
something like that happens, you can't help but be impressed.
Besides, Elizabeth wanted a bigger refrigerator with a light in
it. With the bigger freezer compartment, we can make more
ice, and the need for a separate ice maker doesn't seem to be
there anymore.

GREAT WEATHER TO BEGIN
FALL YOUTH SAILING
Saturday September 8th, there were 19 young sailors at
Quiet Waters Park for the first of four fall sailing sessions.
What a terrific day for sailing! After the initial getting
acquainted game, the boats were rigged and the sailing
began. Wind was coming out of the east at about 7 or 8 knots.
When the boats are moving, everyone is happy. Many of the
more experienced students practiced the capsizing maneuver. Usually after sailing for an hour the sailors in the prams
begin to come in looking for a snack or just a break. This day
however the only thing that got them off the lake was the siren
indicating that there was lighting in the area. The students got
their snacks, practiced their knots and talked about what
went right or wrong while they sailed. Soon the all clear siren
blew and it was back on the lake.
Our commodore, Tim Leonard, was in attendance and asked
where the lasor was that he donated years ago. Because of
a leak along the deck and hull it is not in service at this time.
Many of our boats are in need of some repair and we are
fortunate to have Alex Dipina, who is a crew member of Carl
& Suzi Wehe on Glory Daze, volunteer his time and expertise
to assist us in the repair of boats. Alex is the carpenter
foreman at Mango Marine in Ft. Lauderdale.
At the September meeting I announced that we are planning
a work day to repair boats and the response of our members
was tremendous. The tentative date for the work session is
Saturday, November 17th. Prior to this time, the boats to be
worked on will be evaluated and materials for the repairs
secured. Anyone wishing to help in this worthy cause can
contact Dennis Tynan at 954-785-3666.

Our member, Karen Mitchell, won the ISDF Disabled
World Championship regatta held on August 7th to 14th in
Rochester, NY. She and crewman J.P. Creignou beat 17
other boats from around the world by sailing their SKUD 18
consistently throughout the series with 2 firsts, 5 seconds and
3 thirds in the 12 race event (there were two throw-out
races).
This regatta marks the second strong finish by Karen, she
finished 2nd,on a tie breaker, to Scott Whitman in the Clagett
Memorial regatta August 28th to 30th in Newport. Scott
finished 4th in this regatta.
Karen's next challenge will the U.S. Paralympic Trials held in
Newport October 7-15th where the class winners will
represent their class for the US in the Paralympic Games in
Beijing.
My personal "horse in this race" Maureen McKinnonTucker and her skipper Nick Scandone finished 2nd in this
regatta and third at the Clagett regatta. They has 6 firsts and
a second in the Worlds but had some poor races which could
not overcome Karen's consistency.
Congratulations to Karen and JP on a job well done, continue
to make HISC proud!
