COMMODORE’S COMMENTS
I
’ve read about the
“Roaring Forty’s” but
until “Hotspur’s” return from Barkley Sound I
had never experienced offshore winds at 40 knots,
gusting to 45. This was
Carole’s first trip on the outside and she
came through like a champ earning her
offshore stripes. She’s thinking the ship’s
store needs a special cap for “Women in
Waves.” Our longtime friend and sailor,
Ron Rankin, was our crew for this trip.
Cruise Host Jim Hansen was wonderful,
including giving the Commodore a bag of
crab upon arrival. He made sure the fleet of
nine boats had a sampling of the best cruising spots with fishing, crabbing, clamming

Chair Terri Entler, and the House and

their work on the new fencing and parking lot repair. It looks great and will serve
us for years to come. Both projects came
in slightly under the bids. The fencing was
$13,573.00 and the paving was $62,360.00.
I want to also thank Chair Rod Wells, and
the Finance Committee for planning the
financing for the parking lot repair. The
Board had a good discussion before authorizing the financing plan and the work.

ust a reminder to leave your car keys in
the office if you are going to leave your
car in the lot for any extended travel.
We would like to be able to move your vehicle in case of a maintenance or emergency
situation. Thank you to all of you that left
keys during the parking lot repaving project.
It was a lifesaver. As I write this, we are in the process of
replacing the cover over the BBQ. Check it out the next
time you are at the club.
We accept used oil, antifreeze, oil filters and batteries for
recycling at the storage yard at the West End of the parking lot. Please don’t put old refrigerators in the dumpsters,
they won’t take them.
We have had a very successful summer with the new
fence, parking lot, BBQ, and hand rail projects
being completed.

HISTORIAN’S CORNER
C
upola Light is on again!! Commodore J. Walter McCrea placed
the cupola on the clubhouse in
1931 as a lighthouse beacon to help early
skippers navigate to North Portland harbor. For many years the light was out and
many reasons were given, such as it would
confuse the airplanes landing at PDX. Past
Commodore Bill Chevalier and Fred and
Terry decided to check the bulb. Yes, the
bulb had burned out and Terry replaced it
with an energy-efficient light bulb.
The rest are two generations:
I have been asking for the names of multigenerations of PYCers. This is the best list

I am sure that there may be others and the
above list might need corrections. Please

Bald Eagle Days...July 18, 19 & 20. 2008

hanks to the determination, talent,
and very hard work of Barbara Peterson, faithfully assisted by Don,
PYC took Cathlamet by…well, storm at
their annual fiesta, BALD EAGLE DAYS.
One of the main events is the Saturday parade, with 100 or so entries from all over
the region; schools, camps, yacht clubs,
commercial entities and others. If you’ve
never been in a parade, you may not be
familiar with the “hurry up and wait” factor. (Berkeley, who has drummed in many,
many Rose Parades, assured me that this is
to be expected). Our team, consisting of 23
members, showed up at the High School at
9 AM to be perused by the judges, though
the official start of the parade was 11AM.
On a very cool, misty, morning, we traded
places in Vic’s Hummer, generously donated to pull the float, in order to keep warm.
By the time the entries were judged, much
less awards given out, we were fading a little, but recovered in a nanosecond when we
were given the Big Blue Ribbon GRAND
PRIZE, accompanied by a huge trophy
with a Bald Eagle at the top! Whoops and
cheers! And, the sun came out!

“Heart of my Heart” they sang new lyrics
written by Stan Borys honoring the theme
of the weekend, “Art of My Heart.” PYC

accommodate BYO Mexican appetizers and
delicious make-your-own tacos (provided
by PYC). Everyone had a chance to contribute, and did. By 10 PM we were pretty
much snug in our beds until what sounded
to me like Jacks V blowing up, announced
the beginning of dense and complex fireworks. Those guys from Cathlamet don’t
pull any punches.
Sunday dawned bright and beautiful, a
perfect day for another highlight of the
weekend. The Coast Guard did a helicopter demonstration, rescuing a victim in the
water. We were impressed, especially when
we considered the possibility of tremendous
waves and winds the rescuers may face in an
actual life-saving situation.
Finally, PYC golf on Thursday, the street
fair, music, pancake breakfast, shops and
restaurants provided fun for everyone …a
truly unforgettable weekend.

hidbey Island Race Week ended
Friday, July 25, and the 2008
event had one of the largest
turnouts of boats and participants in recent
years. Ten classes of boats competed and rivalries between skippers and crews that had
simmered since the 2007 race were settled
— somewhat. At least until the 2009 event.
PYC boats put in some good records.
Tom Kelly in his new J122 Anan Cara was
8th in the fast P0 fleet out of 12 boats. Wait
until he has more time in the boat.
Mark McCuddy did well with a 3rd in the
P1 fleet on his Tiger Lilly against 9 boats.
Rod Buck lead his Myst to a 7th against 14

DOWNRIVER CRUISE
T
his year’s Down River cruise was great!
With 22 vessels registered to go, we
had only two that did not attend.
We started off with Music in the Park at St Helens. We were all treated to Cuban rhythms for
about three hours. At the same time the town
square was set up with many food and craft
booths to walk through and to munch your
way through town. It was a really fun evening.
Day two brought us a gathering on the dock
with (as usual) far too much food and fun!
That evening most chose to skip the free movie
in the park and opted to go to the local theater to see the new Batman movie, The Dark
Knight. We had a good showing of boats there
with 10 PYC boats in attendance.
Day three saw us depart for other ports. Some
chose to go to Martin Slough while others
trekked to Rainier or Cathlamet. At the start of
the cruise we already had a good contingent of
boats in Cathlamet and some went straight to
Astoria. There were a few vessels that enjoyed
the night in Martin Slough and I was told that
it was a very quiet evening.
Sunday brought the fleet to Rainier for the
night and the great Mexican dinner there. We
had four boats tied up at the city dock and five
chose to dock at Walker Island. This is a new
way to enjoy Rainier and it seemed to work well,
as they all got together and took the dinghies
up for the dinner. We had sixteen for dinner at
El Tapatio which, as always, did a fabulous job
taking care of our group. Those docked at the
City dock were treated to a wonderfully quiet
night as all the tugs were out and there was no
bouncing at all. The gill netters were in the
river so river traffic was put to a standstill and
we all had a nice sleep.
Monday we headed for Cathlamet. This stop
was hosted by Cliff Stephens and Becky. What
a job they did! They had a bag of promotional
stuff for everyone touting the doings in that fine
town and they made sure everyone had a great
time. We had the usual gatherings on the dock
and a steak dinner on Tuesday evening for everyone. This stop saw 17 of our finest vessels all
tied up together for a great time. While some
golfed the rest chose to do the usual dinghy
cruise up the Puget Island Slough. Vic Alfonso
made arrangements for a golf trip on Tuesday
and it was well attended this year. Thanks for
your efforts Vic.
Wednesday saw everyone depart for Ilwaco.
This stop was hosted by John and Lisa LeDoux.
Another wonderful effort. The first evening saw
us all on the waterfront in the pavilion feasting
on a giant “Taco Fest”. John had concocted
his wonderful Chile Verde and put out meats,
cheeses, lettuce, chopped onions, olives, sour
cream, salsa and just about anything you could
imagine to make tacos and burritos. We were
all stuffed. The club members responded with
appetizers and desserts to go along with the
fare. We were to have a bus into Long Beach
for dinner on Thursday evening but we were all
so full by this time that we only had four takers
to go so it was cancelled. This was actually a
good thing for John and Lisa as it allowed them
to exit for parts North a bit early and they went
to sea that afternoon.
On Friday the group left for Astoria to join up
with those who had chosen to go there earlier.
I did not make that stop but I do know there
was a lot going on with the regatta, parade,
Englund’s Sale. Astoria Yacht Club hosted an
appetizers and drinks gathering under the tent
by the marina. This year we did not have the
usual deep fried salmon feed due to the lack of
salmon and no one actually wanted to go out to
get them. Maybe next year they will return.
All in all this was a great cruise. I hope everyone who attended had a great time and we look
forward to next years events.

uly presented us with some great weather
to celebrate Tropical Night. There were
lots of colorful outfits, sandals, Hawaiian shirts and warm breezes as folks sipped
on their Singapore Slings and looked out
towards the swaying palm trees and white
sand beaches of Tomahawk Island. Pirate
night followed on the 25th with a number
of scurvy looking scoundrels running about
searching for booty. The contest for best costume was judged by those seasoned pirates,
Black Bob Eaton and Terrible Ted Reich.
First prize went to Bad Bruce Wiedemann.
Johnny Depp (aka. Kiel Bishoprick) was a
very close second as the spitting image of
Capt. Jack Sparrow. Third place went to
Pam Wiedemann. There was much pillaging and looting after dinner, with reports of
boats sacked and treasure buried. Coming
up in September, we will have cookouts on
the 5th, which coincides with the PYC Beer
Can race (watch for your Cookout Committee out on the boats) and on the 26th,
which kicks off the Beacon Rock Cruise.
See you there.
