HILLSBORO INLET SAILING CLUB
May 2012
From
The
Helm
By Alan Katz,
In the ten years that I have had the pleasure of
being an HISC member, I have participated in
just about every activity at least once. Some of
the events are so good that I have attended them
every year. Then there are other events, such as
the semi-annual blood drive, that gives me the
opportunity to give back to the community. I will
get back to the blood drive later in this article.
I came to realize that there are two activities that
I have never participated in. They are Youth Sailing and the “Old Farts Lunch”. I started thinking.
Am I too old for Youth Sailing? Am I too young
for the weekly old timers lunch? I was starting to
think that as part of my Commodore rite of passage, that I need to attend both of these events.

I had planned on assisting with the first day of
Youth Sailing. I sprung out of bed on Saturday
1-2
Tides
17-18
19
morning with as much enthusiasm as a new student looking forward to his or her first day of
sailing. As I sat on my patio enjoying my first
cup of coffee, I watched Ciboney tug on her dock
lines in 20 to 25 knots of wind. I had that sinking
feeling that my first day of Youth Sailing was
going to be canceled. As Larry Winchell said, “If
we put first time students in a boat, on a day like
today, it will be the last time that they ever step
on a sailboat”. I am sure that all of the students
were as disappointed as I was, but it was a wise
decision to cancel the training. Thank you to everyone who made the right decision. Although I
did not get a chance to attend Youth Sailing, perhaps I will be able to enjoy lunch with “guys”
this week.

The Inlet/Outlet could use photographs taken by members who attend HISC events: cruising and racing. The general meeting and social events are most ably covered
by the club Historian, Christeen
Pozniak but she obviously can’t
attend every event. Be sure to provide captions.

Please send the pictures to hisc.editor@gmail.com.
We’d also like to hear from the club’s cruising
members so that Cruising Notes can become a regular feature. So please send your notes and photos!

Introducing HISC’s new members:
Over several years Jack McWalter and Lesley Huddleston have known HISC members, attended general
meetings and now have the time to participate in the
club. With over 50 years on the water, Jack is an experienced cruiser and racer having owned several
boats. Originally from Chicago, Jack worked for
IBM and spent his yachting time on Lake Michigan
where he was an active racer, participating in 17
Mackinac races. He’s lived in Florida since 1980 and
Lesley and Jack now spend two or three months a
year in St. John, American Virgin Islands, cruising on
Caribe his Beneteau 51’. Jack and Lesley are looking
to meet people to cruise with in the islands and Jack
is also interested in racing.
Sponsored by Brenda Smith and Deb Menagh and
HISC board approved by Board Director George
Pyrpiris.
HISC mentors are Jan and Bill Shomo.

Roster Updates
Nieves Rutkowski found HISC during an internet
search looking for places to connect back into sailing.
Originally from Spain, she and her family moved to
Ecuador when she was thirteen where she lived until
moving to Connecticut when she was 35. It is in
Connecticut where her love for sailing began, and
where she and her late husband sailed their beautiful
New Zealand made 56’ ketch. They sailed many
years on the United States east coast as far north as
Nova Scotia and south to Florida. While she no longer owns a yacht, Neives is now a full time Florida
resident, would like to cruise and is “interested in
everything that has to do with boats”.
Sponsored by Sherry Sussman and Melinda Betkowski and HISC board approved by Vice Commodore
Maureen Leonard.
HISC mentor is Carole Fielder.

Racing
Looking forward to the month of May, it promises to
provide a lot of opportunities to compete on the water
with the start of the Wednesday night Beer Can series, the annual Hillsboro to West Palm Beach coastal
race on Cinco de Mayo (May 5th), Spring Series races on the 13th, and the Hospice By The Sea Regatta
on the 19th. For a full run down on racing throughout
the year, head to http://www.hisc.org/
RaceInfo/2012RaceCalendar.pdf for complete information.

As you read this, it's the beginning of May. But, to
meet the Inlet/Outlet deadline for publishing it's
around the middle of April. Nevertheless, there has
been a lot of racing going on. Our Spring Series 1 &
2 were nothing less than glorious with twelve boats
out to start the season. Weather for races 3 & 4 on
April 15th was a different story with six boats and
their crew competing in 15-20 kts and 6-8 ft
seas. Check out the results pages 6-9 in this is sue of
the Inlet/Outlet or at: http://www.hisc.org/
RaceResults/RaceResults.html. Congratulations to
the winners and many thanks to all competitors, after
race party hosts, and the beach committee for helping
to keep our race program going strong.
We'll see you on the water soon!
2012 Easter
Cruise - Lake
Sylvia
By Suzan Scott
Wind Angel
Eight Club boats participated in this year’s festive
event. Ciboney, Sea Dragon, Wind Angel, Glory
Daze, and Popoki rafted together Saturday afternoon, creating “Party Central” for this year’s festivities. We were joined by Diversion, Endurance,
Cracker Jack and Bossa Nova (by dinghy). An array of snacks and appetizers were served by Suzi
Wehe and Karyn Katz aboard Popoki. With a feast
like that, who needs dinner?
Spring Series race participation for races 3 & 4 was
somewhat light, as skippers and crew from Glory
Daze, Magic, Sempre Amantes, and Unicorn had their
hands full for forty-five miles in the Miami to Key
Largo race. Dismastings (one witnessed and another
reported), MOBs, and groundings were the order of
the day as the fleet headed south through Biscayne
Bay down to Jewfish Creek while battling heavy
winds and pounding rain. Fortunately, no injuries
were reported.
Carl Wehe was determined to add an extra degree
of difficulty to the Dinghy Easter Egg toss by creating a moving target. And the winners were Colleen
DiGennaro, and Ron Schaper.
Safety is always a concern in our sport. No matter
how well one prepares, accidents can and will happen
as evidenced by five dead or lost at sea in the Full
Crew Farallones race, a 54-mile, daylong regatta that
starts in San Francisco Bay, passes through the Golden Gate and rounds a craggy outpost known as South
Farallon Island.
As the party continued later into the evening, we
were joined by some new friends, Wind Pirate and
Kalalau. After singing and dancing (yes, there was
dancing!) the night away, we all enjoyed a quiet
night in Lake Sylvia.
On a lighter note, thank you for the many positive
comments and support after the April general meeting
"Racing Rule of the Month" presentation. I find
many people are truly curious about sailboat racing. Often I describe our sport as "chess on the water" and "the most fun one can have going five miles
an hour." I will try to have something both new and
interesting each month to share. If you find your interest peaked, I highly recommend that you come out
and give it a try. You don't need a rigged out boat or
a high-tech sail plan. Get your crew together and join
in the fun.
On Sunday morning a delicious Easter brunch was
prepared by Suzi and Karyn and served aboard Ciboney. These girls really know their way around a
galley!
Perfect conditions prevailed into the afternoon for a
beautiful sail home.
A big thank you to all who participated. You’re the
best!

HISC Youth Sailing Program
By Ken Scott
The HISC Youth Sailing Program was created to provide sailing and boating safety training to children
between the ages of 8 and 18. In the past 20+ years
we are proud to have trained hundreds of children in
small boat handling and safety issues.
The Youth Sailing Program is staffed with enthusiastic, knowledgeable sailing and organization specialists who volunteer their time and effort to enhance
the Sport of sailing and to provide invaluable experience and training to children. The Program is open to
anyone who meets the age requirement and can pass a
simple swimming evaluation.
Safety is the most important aspect of our ongoing
agenda. In our program each child is required to wear
a USCG approved life vest and a safety lecture begins
each meeting. During the instructional sailing on the
lake,
HISC
instructors
use
small rowboats to provide on the water training and
an enhanced level of safety.
The children sail small boats including: International
Optimist Pram, Sunfish, and Laser. These boats were
selected because of safety and ease of instruction, the
Optimist Pram is the largest sailing class in the world
and is considered to be the premier training platform.
Again this year we will be also inviting the Youth
Sailors to participate in an HISC Coastal Race aboard
some of the club members boats.

Bimini and the Bahamas
Cruising Notes
• Bimini Sands resort has a Bahamian customs office immediately behind the fuel dock. That's much more fun than going to the one in Alice Town. Even more fun is to precomplete all the paperwork so that you don't have to do it
after a long night of hard sailing. You can download copies
here: http://www.bahamas.com/sites/bahamas.com/files/pdf/
Bahamas_Custom_Clearance.pdf. Make sure you print them
out on legal-sized paper. You'll also need to complete a Departure Card for each crewmember. Those can be obtained
directly from the Bahamian tourism office in FL (1200 S.
Pine Island Rd., Plantation, FL 33324; 954-236-9292 or 800224-3681) or from the marina office on arrival.

Here are a few info items and some links that Bimini
cruisers might find helpful:
• USER FEE DECAL. Apply/renew here:
https://dtops.cbp.dhs.gov/ or get info from: http://
www.cbp.gov/xp/cgov/travel/pleasure_boats/
user_fee/user_fee_decal.xml. It’s the government,
and if you need it quickly it will cost you extra. Get it
done now.
• The Bimini Sands dockmaster reports that the entrance has
recently been dredged to 8’at high tide. This would translate
to about 5.5-6’ at low tide but may vary. If you haven’t been
to Bimini in a while, the preferred entrance route to Bimini
Sands has been as follows (arrows):
• Make sure you have valid passports for everyone,
and that your boat insurance and registration documentation is current and with you.
• To speed your reentry to the US and avoid a trip to
the customs office on a busy holiday weekend, it's a
good idea to sign up for Small Vessel Reporting System here: https://svrs.cbp.dhs.gov/ . This is a modification to the previous "Local Boater Option". To
complete the registration, you'll schedule a visit to the
customs office via the website. Once registered, you
can also file a float plan on the website, which is never a bad idea.
• While they're not required domestically, US Vessels
travelling internationally are required to have a VHF
Ship’s Station License. The operator is required to
have an Operator license. Learn all about it and file
FCC forms 159 and 605 electronically here: http://
wireless.fcc.gov/services/index.htm/
job=licensing&id=ship_stations . While you're at it,
get an MMSI for your DSC radio, and register your
EPIRB!
