PYC Members,
I look forward to leaving the Rear Commodore’s job to David Jordan for 2014 and moving into the
Vice Commodore’s job. We have a great bunch of volunteer bartenders that take care of us so
well. There won’t be a lot of changes, but you will notice a few in the coming months. Thank you
for your support of the Pittsburg Yacht Club and I look forward to serving you this year!

Hello Everyone,
Happy 2014 Everyone!
For my first article as Rear Commodore I would like to
wish everyone a Happy New Year. I am excited and
looking forward to another great year. With Glen
Abrams as the Commodore, the club continued to move
forward in a positive direction and I am sure it will
continue in this direction with the new Commodore Ken
Esse and the PYC board. I also look forward to working
with the PYC Enterprise board. I know the task of Rear
Commodore is very challenging even though Doris, who
did a great job, made it look easy and simple, set the
bar high for the next Rear Commodore.
I look forward to serving as your Port Captain in 2014.
We begin with the Club largely in good shape, however,
there are a few repairs inside and outside of the club
that need to be tackled. The issues are being
addressed as to how to proceed with the repairs. I also
have begun gathering a great crew of PYC members to
help me with my duties as Rear Commodore. I hope to
plan a house cleaning the club in March, so I hope we
can get some volunteers for the event (donuts and
treats on me). There will be more information to follow,
along with a signup sheet.

Respectfully Submitted,
We are already taking reservations from other Yacht
Clubs – our new docks and hospitality is mentioned at
every booking, its what makes PYC so very special.
It’s traditional that host clubs have a welcoming
committee to greet visiting Yacht Clubs and help get
their boats tied up on arrival day. I’d like to ask for your
support/volunteerism in those efforts. If you’d like to be
time commitment, a way to give back to PYC, and it’s
fun!
I encourage you to bring your boat to our guest docks to
enjoy the club and our events. Please take a look at the
calendar to check if there is a cruise in scheduled. If
there is a booking please call or send me an email - I am

LIFE JACKETS
Of the boating fatalities that occurred in 2009, 67 percent of the victims drowned. Of that group, 84 percent were
not wearing a life jacket. Don't become a statistic, wear a life jacket. Life jackets are the proven number one way
to save a life in the event of a sudden, unexpected capsizing or fall overboard. Wear a life jacket. Please use this
page as a resource for life jacket information.
Life Jackets and the Law
For a boat less than 16 feet long, or a canoe or a kayak of any length, you are required to:
·
Everyone on board a personal watercraft (popularly known as “jet skis”) and anyone being towed behind a
vessel must wear a Coast Guard-approved life jacket.
·
A Coast Guard-approved life jacket must be carried for each person on board. If stored, these life jackets
must be readily available (easy to get to), and you must show passengers the location of life jackets and
other safety equipment.
·
Anyone using an underwater maneuvering device is exempt from wearing a life jacket. An underwater
maneuvering device is any towed or self-powered device designed for underwater use that a person can
pilot through diving, turning and surfacing moves.
For a boat 16 feet or longer, you must carry for each passenger:
·
The same requirements as above and one immediately accessible (easy-to-reach) Type IV device
designed for throwing – such as a ring, cushion or horseshoe buoy for each boat.
What type of life jacket should you wear?
Unlike the traditional orange horse collar of yesteryears, today’s life jackets are technologically advanced,
making them more convenient, less restrictive - and sometimes - even unnoticeable to the boater who is wearing
one. An additional advantage to boaters is that life jackets are now custom designed for their specific water
activities, i.e. fishing, cruising, water-skiing, etc
How to Choose the Right Life Jacket
Looking for a life jacket? Today’s jackets come in a variety of shapes, sizes, colors, and materials. No matter
which life jacket you choose, be sure it’s right for YOU, your planned activities, and the water conditions you
expect to encounter.
Try It On
·
Check the manufacturer’s ratings for your size and weight.
·
Make sure the jacket is properly zipped or buckled.
·
Raise your arms straight up over your head while wearing your life jacket and ask a friend to grasp the tops
of the arm openings, gently pulling up.
·
If there is excess room above the openings and the jacket rides up over your chin or face, it does NOT fit
properly. A snug fit in these areas signals a properly fitting life jacket.
Fit Facts
·
It is extremely important that you choose a properly fitting life jacket.
·
Jackets that are too big will cause the flotation device to push up around your face, which could be
dangerous.
·
Jackets that are too small will not be able to keep your body afloat.
Important Reminders
·
Make sure your life jacket is U.S. Coast Guard-approved.
·
Double check that your jacket is appropriate for your favorite boating activities.
·
Take the time to ensure a proper fit.
·
Life jackets meant for adults do not work for children. If you are boating with children, make sure they are
wearing properly fitted, child-sized life jackets.
On recreational vessels underway, children under 13 years old must wear a Coast Guard approved life jacket
unless they are below decks or in an enclosed cabin

PYC Members!
Again this month I have some sad news:
Wanda Dillon's sister passed away this past month
and her family paid their respects in Arizona. Also,
Butch Crivello passed away this Thanksgiving and a
service was held at the Elks Club in Pittsburg on
December 14th. We send these members and their
families our thoughts and prayers during this difficult
time.
It was also reported that Ken Esse had shoulder
surgery and is at home recovering, we hope he heals
quickly and is back on his feet soon. Frank Teiche
was in the hospital for an overnight stay for a
pacemaker assessment but is now back home and
feeling well again.
Some exciting news is that my youngest daughter,
Nicole, will be marrying Chris Walsh at the Brentwood
Wedgewood golf club on April 27, 2014. We are very
happy for these two wonderful young people and the
new life that lies ahead for them.
Let’s Celebrate!
tredgal@gmail.com
The next Celebration Pot-Luck is tentatively scheduled
for March 19th and we are hoping that Joe & Evie
Dopart will again be our hosts.

There were no delegates meetings since the last reported November meeting.
The PICYA Commodore’s Ball and installation of officers will be January 25, 2014 at the Hilton Garden Inn, Emeryville. I doubt
that there are any of the special rate rooms still available, but you can try if you would like to attend. The phone number is (510)
658-9300. The flyer is available on the website for Ball reservations at http://picya.org/uploads/file/Commodore_Ball_Rev.pdf
For more information on the plan to divert Delta Water: As I talk with boaters from Bay Area Clubs I am
amazed how little they know about the plan to build the tunnels through the Delta and the impact the proposal
would have on Agriculture, Boating, and the general health of the area. You owe it to yourself to get informed.

Recreational Boaters of California
"Recreational Boaters of California [RBOC] is a nonprofit advocacy organization that works protect and enhance the
interests of the state's recreational boaters before the legislative and executive branches of state and local government. RBDC
was formed as a statewide organization in
and from that date forward has continued its commitment promoting the
enjoyment, protection, and responsible use of our waterways.

By Jack Michaels-2013 R.B.O.C. President
It will be another very busy year for Recreational
Boaters of California (RBOC). We are in the middle of
two major issues and will also be pushing for legislation,
which will require operators of vessels under power to
have a form of vessel operator certification. This would
be some proof that an operator has passed an online
test, of which there are several, regarding rules of the
road and boater safety. BoatU.S. and others have
online courses. California is still one of few boating
states that does not have such a requirement.
The two major issues are the impact on boating in the
Delta due to the Governor’s proposed Delta Twin
Tunnel project and new efforts by the California
Regional Water Quality Control Boards in Southern
California to blame boaters for copper toxicity in Marina
del Rey as they have in San Diego’s Shelter Island
Yacht Harbor, with Newport Harbor expected next! As I
have explained on many occasions, new science
demonstrates that copper bottom paint is not generally
toxic in seawater, but it is taking a tremendous effort to
convince the Regional Boards and getting USEPA to
adopt the new science.
I am also providing you with an annual reminder of what
RBOC is all about so you may better understand the
reminder on your Dues Statement to include a $10
donation to RBOC with your annual dues. Recreational
Boaters of California celebrated its 45th year of
protecting boater’s interests this year.
Over the years, RBOC’s efforts have saved individual
boaters thousands of dollars at the rate of several
hundred dollars each year!
RBOC is funded by
voluntary member donations of PICYA member clubs
and a donation from Boat U.S. generally based on the
number of Boat U.S. members in California. There are
eighteen RBOC Directors who serve voluntarily. Nine
directors are appointed by PICYA, and nine by SCYA
(Southern CaIifornia Yachting Association).
I serve as one of those Directors and served as
President for 2013. I have been appointed to an
additional three-year RBOC term and will serve on
the RBOC Executive Committee as Immediate Past
President in 2014.
A Sacramento lobbying firm, Desmond & Desmond,
is retained to carry out the necessary lobbying efforts
in Sacramento, with the assistance of Directors.
They also provide the necessary administrative
functions of RBOC. This combined effort is the major
expenditure in RBOC’s budget. The Board meets
four times each year with one meeting being a
Legislative Day in Sacramento to meet with
Legislators and staff. These meetings alternate
between Northern and Southern California. The
Presidency of RBOC also alternates between North
and South each year. The Director’s transportation to
these meetings is reimbursed from the RBOC budget,
if requested, but all other expenses are donated by
individual Directors. Recently, two of the four
meetings each year have been conducted as
teleconferences to save money. The 2014 President
is Karen Ryhne of the Balboa Yacht Club in Newport
Harbor. Karen is an attorney and also serves as a
Commissioner on the Newport Harbor Commission.
The VP-North is Greg Gibeson; a Staff Commodore
of Aeolian YC, part time resident at Lake Tahoe, and
a retired contract attorney with the Alameda County
District Attorney. Greg also represents PICYA on the
Board of the Bay Planning Coalition which addresses
primarily dredging issues in the Bay and Delta.
We may want to consider increasing the suggested
$10 annual RBOC donation to $20 considering the
great value RBOC is to boaters. You can be assured
that supporting RBOC is the most cost effective
boating expense you have!
