Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by
the things that you didn’t do than by the ones you did do.
So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe
harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore.
Dream. Discover.”

It’s hard to believe another month has gone by. Our Spring
Racing Series is over, and the Youth Sailing Spring Series
only has one more session. At April’s meeting I’ve leaned I
don’t want to sail from France to Brazil in a 21 foot boat.
We’ve also experience a very rainy Easter Cruise and our
first coastal race, Old Port Cove Regatta. As always, the
participation is great, with the exception of the rainy Easter
were only 6 boats ventured out in the storm.

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.
HELM continued from page 1
May brings another fun filled month of sailing. Our
Wednesday night Beer Can series begins May 7th @
7:00 p.m. at the HI Buoy. The Hospice Regatta is also
scheduled for May 17th. And back by popular demand is the Lobster/Claim Bake Dinner. As in past
years, we want a great HISC showing, so sign up for
the regatta at http://www.hospicecareflorida.org/
regattaevents.html.
Bon voyage to all you cruisers going to the Bahamas in
May. For those of you that will be around, you don’t
want to miss the May program, Cruising to the Bahamas. Our Cruising Chairs, Hal & Mary Steward and
Alan & Karen Katz, have a great program lined up. If
you have any specific questions you would like answered during the program about cruising to the
Bahamas, please contact them.
The next big cruise is the Memorial Day Cruise hosted
by Joie de Vivre and Endeavour. We are resurrecting the Fantasy Cruise theme after taking a year off.
This year we are going to Australia and Tahiti. But
instead of sailing south into the Southern Hemisphere
(Miami), we are going to head north to go “down
under”. Lake Boca will be the staging area for the rally
race to Lake Worth Inlet, so join us for an extra
cruising point on Friday night. Saturday night will be at
the North Palm Beach Anchorage (Australia) just
north of Old Port Cove Marina and Sunday will be at
the anchorage south of Peanut Island (Tahiti). Please
read the flyer for more details.

www.hisc.org and print out a copy of the Florida Anchoring Rights and keep it onboard your vessel. If you
are asked to “move along”, there are instructions in this
document on how to report abuse. This legislation is being
challenged in the Florida Appellate Courts, which is apparently why Fort Lauderdale feels they can start disputing the
law. While I don’t want anyone getting arrested over this
issue, we need to be informed as boaters and politely
challenge the police and let them know we know our rights.
We also have members of our club that live in Fort
Lauderdale that are calling the Mayor and Chief of Police.
Hopefully, if the realize how informed the boating community is they will stop the insanity.

Racing
byCarl Wehe, Glory Daze
More food for thought,
Racing Rules of Sailing Part 2 Section D 22.1
Ifreasonably possible,
a boat not racing shall not interfere with a boat that is
racing.
Don’t you just love springtime in Florida? We get to
go racing everyweekend!!! Doesn’t leave much time for
the other things in life, (I still don’t know what these other
things are, but people tell me that they exist). Bythe time
you read this we will have had nine races in five weekends,
The first half has seen good participation in both fleets,
and I hope to see this trend continue. The Hospice
Regatta is fast approaching and I would like to see a record
turnout, let’s show these other local clubs how it’s done.
All you racers should remember that everyone who
helps put these races together are volunteers, so next time
you see someone who has done beach committee, give
them a great big thank you. Without them we would not
have much racing.

Blood Drive
By Betty Coviello
By Mary & Hal Steward, Southern Breeze
and Karen & Alan Katz, Ciboney
Well, Sully was right, the Bloodmobiles have a GPS setting
for his house.The busses arrived before 4PM on the 18th
and were ready to start the bloodletting process right on
time.
The weather was perfect and Lorrene and Sully have the
perfect Lanai for thePot Luck Supper. The food table was
overflowing with all varities of foods to compliment the
smoked ham and Mary’s roast turkey. The selection of
desserts was amazing and many of us indulged with the
promise to diet tomorrow. Lenny, our Blood Drive Coordinator, was busy ushering donors into the Vans and
at the end of the evening he was quite pleased that HISC
had donated 32 units of blood or red blood cells.
A very special thanks to the Sullivans for hosting this event
and to Mary for coordinatingthe food. Thanks also to all
who attended and/or donated. Without all of you this event
would not be a success.

2008 Easter Raft Up!
One thing that we can say is the Easter Bunny did show up
and passed out Easter Bunny goodies. The rain did not keep
the bunny away. We would like to thank Love Pat, Plan C
and Diversion for showing up and braving the elements. The
first place prize for the dinghy parade went to Love Pat,
Congratulations! We had Turkey and Ham for the potluck
but unfortunately the rain put a damper on our Easter Dinner.
We would like to thank our Co-Hosts Alan and Karyn Katz
on Ciboney. It’s always a good time when your on the
water. We look forward to next year.

The May 8th General Meeting Program Presents:
BAHAMIAN CRUISING INFORMATION
Bahamas Tourist Board
As has been tradition with the club, May’s program is
devoted to preparing for Bahamian sailing vacations. Our
Cruising Chairpeople, Hal and Mary Steward and Alan
and Karyn Katz, have arranged for a representative of the
Bahamian Tourist Board to speak to us.
The representative will be able to give us all the latest
information on all aspects of entering and yachting in their
island nation. This should include the latest on entry fees,
restrictions, and how to clear Bahamian Immigration and
Customs. In addition, they will inform us of other applicable regulations plus help and suggestions on destinations.
Knowing the Cruising Chairs, the program should be filled
with need to know information as well as helpful suggestions to get the most out of your Bahamian trip.
Both the Stewards and the Katzs have also promised to
make us aware of how to easily re-enter the United States
and to clear Customs and Immigration on this side of the
Gulfstream.
If you haven’t done so already, email the Stewards and/or
Katzs your cruising plans so they can be published in next
months Inlet Outlet. Please include your boat name,
departure and return dates, as well as your anticipated
destination.

New Members Corner
By Judy &Frank Tippett,
Condor
Heather Hoffman has been sponsored by Brenda &
Michael Duvall. She’s been crewing on Magic. She is a
native of Maine, but she has lived in Florida for the past
10 years. She obviously is interested in racing, but also
cruising.
Nina & Fred Gelfand are not really new members.
They are actually “remembers”. They were part of
HISC from 1990-2000. They own a Vagabond
42‘ketch that has taken them to Grenada and back. They
are anxious to get back into the club and especially our
cruising activities.

HISC Fantasy Cruise
Join us cruising in the Pacific…
Memorial Day
Weekend
May 24th – 26th
The assembly location for the flotilla is at Lake Boca - Friday night, May 23rd

for this event.
Saturday, May 24th, join us for HISCs 3rd Memorial Day Rally, this time north to Palm Beach.
Tune in to channel 68 for the Cruisers Net update at 8:30 a.m. daily and get event details and
anchorage locations.
Rally start time is 9:30 a.m. just outside Boca Inlet. Finish is Lake Worth Inlet Red “2” Fl R 2.5s

awarded for towing dinghies; full water tanks; bimini up; wearing costumes and anything else the
Rally Committee decides you should get more points for. Points taken away for running engines; using
spinnakers and shouting “starboard”. The Rally Committee is also not above bribery in the form
of liquor, food or money. But you better be creative, as unimaginative or boring bribes can cost
you! The idea is to have fun, not necessarily to win the race.

Youth Sailing
By Dennis Tynan, Soulmate
I’d like to welcome Phil and Kathleen Viscomi to our
youth Sailing Committee. Phil and Kathleen are new
members and have a trawler named Andiamo. They and
both very knowledgeable and are a welcomed addition to
our team. The rest of the committee includes: Scott
Romberger, Randy Tice, Lew Klockziem, Larry Winchell
and Dennis Tynan
WINDY CONDITIONS GREET JUNIOR SAILORS
Eleven students were on hand April 5 for the
opening day of the 2008 spring youth sailing. Very
windy conditions persisted as Scott Romberger organized and prepared the sailors for what they might
expect. The A group readied and rigged lasors and
sunfish and began some fast sailing on the lake. J.R.
Baker and his dad brought their 12 foot Trinka and he
and two others sailed in the heavy weather. As the
winds got even stronger it proved to be too much for
most of the boats. We counted at least eight capsized
boats so the students got a quick lesson in righting small
boats. All of the students handled the conditions well
and really had a ball sailing fast and learned lessons in
cooperation after capsizing.
This day was the first day of using the “new” prams
that were refurbished during our fall work session. It
was gratifying to see the newly painted boats on the
water. Thanks to all who helped on the work project.
We will be having another work session later this spring.
April 10 the second session was held and the sailing
conditions were perfect. The race to Old Port was held
on the same day so many of our committee members
and students were participating in that race. The 10
students that showed up enjoyed a great sailing day and
Scott was pleased to have an easy day with no boats
capsizing. Special thanks to Kellie and Mark Ordway
for helping bring the boats to Quiet Waters Park and
helping organize the students.

Tracks

The rule is “red, right, return”. Or is it? As some of you
know (and now you all do), Elizabeth and I are currently
“trans-pac” on the Sapphire Princess from Sydney,
Australia, to Los Angeles, California, a 31 day adventure
across the Pacific, with many exotic stops in between.
We departed Sydney harbour on the evening of April
14th. The “sail away” from the harbour was
spectactular. The harbour bridge was astern and the
opera house to starboard. After clearing the city lights,
however, I had a moment of panic (rhymes with Titanic).
The mark at the channel entrance on our PORT side was
GREEN. For an instant, I was considering running up to
the bridge and informing the pilot of impending doom!
Luckily I realized the “down under”, everthing is reversed, ie. green, right, return. This is a short article
because the internet charges aren’t. By the time this is
published, we will be somewhere mid-Pacific. You c an
get on “princess.com” and select the ship’s web cam
(active 24/7) which is pointed toward the bow. That is
where we are.
G’day mates,

HISC
Beer Can Series
2008
by Jamie Cowan
On your mark, get set, GO! We are about to
start a brand new Beer Can series on May 7th,
so set sail for the HI buoy for a 7:00 pm start.
Free beer for winners (but you have to come to
the raft-up after the race). Free T-Shirts (ditto)!
More fun than you can handle with all your
racing friends on Wednesday evenings. If you
haven’t done a beer can race, you just haven’t
been living right! You won’t need a big crew
(but the more, the merrier) because you are not
allowed to use your spinnakers, just jib and
main. Keep it simple, and keep it fun!
Many thanks to Tom Garvey for his tireless fund
raising, and also to Pat Anderson of “My Own
Cruising Journal” for our fabulous T-Shirts, and
last, but not least, to Larry Geller for the use of
his fine speed boat, “Plush Toy”, as our committee boat!
See you on the water!
