As of about 10:20 this morning they were parallel to Delaware about 40 miles offshore, with very roughly 170 miles to go. The winds are at their back and quite strong, close to 20 kts. I hope the seas are not too high. I am sure they are looking forward to a good rest as much as we are looking forward to greeting them. Stay safe EH!
They made a lot of progress overnight making their way around the Outer Banks (currently east of Salvo on Hatteras Island). Winds are in their favor, but I understand the seas may be a bit high. Their current average speed is 8 knots.
We can look forward to greeting them later in the week. For now, let’s just wish them continued safe sailing.

Two new features have been added to the PLYC website. The “Event Registration” menu selection has been changed to “Registration” and now allows members to register online. Each member should fill out the registration form to insure club records are up to date. You can also pay your dues right from the bottom of the same page using PayPal.
In addition, a feature called “Sailor Training” has been added to the “Member Resources” menu that includes YouTube selections of helpful skills and procedures every sailor should know. Feel free to send your suggestions for additional videos.
It appears EH made it to North Carolina yesterday. I haven’t had any recent communication with the skipper, so I don’t know the plans for the rest of the trip. They have been averaging a little over 7 MPH in the ICW. See the attached maps for their progress.
Our dear member Lynn Arena, skipper of her new vessel “Extreme Heeling” is headed up the east coast this week to join our fleet in Point Lookout. They left the Orlando area on April 19th and are currently in the process of ducking into Georgetown SC, (roughly 30 miles south of Myrtle Beach) to avoid a low-pressure system packing 30 to 40 kt winds. Conditions have been varying with winds mostly out of the northeast to flat seas with no wind. The skipper reports all is well aboard, but may divert to the ICW to proceed in more sheltered conditions.
Feel free to send your wishes by responding to members@pointlookoutyc.com Be sure to use the email address you have registered with the site.

Can’t wait to see ya!!!
Dear Point Lookout Yacht Club Members,
Spring 2021 is here and I am pleased to have the opportunity to serve as the new Commodore for the Point Lookout Yacht Club. I cannot express how humbled and how it’s such a great honor to be the new Commodore! Please also give a very big welcome to our new Vice Commodore Paul SanPaolo and two beautiful Co-Social Commodores Sasha Todaro and Elyn Coyle. Also want thank Jan Heinlein, John Bono and Bobby Todaro for the exceptional work they have done and truly appreciate their continued support.
I also want to give very special thanks and appreciation to Past Commodores and Exec Members that I had the privilege to work with. MaryAnn McCruden, Ellen Kramer, Peggy Hoffman and Rob Feihel.
As Commodore we will continue the legacy of Peter J. Gerlett as he so eloquently stated that “We, of the Point Lookout Yacht Club, share a common love of the sea, the art of sailing and the joys of comradeship that bond us in mutual respect and purpose.
We are pledged to promote the skills of seamanship, respect for our fellow sailors, respect for our sea and all its creatures, love of our country and its values, and the rights of all to share in its natural bounty and beauty.”
We have survived and prevailed during the most challenging times, we made the best of 2020 and now are forward bound to another wonderful 2021 season. Although we remain diligent in safety first with social distancing, with ever changing limitations & restrictions on social gatherings. We will tack and trim as we go to continue to make every moment as Incredible as the last. PLYC has remained positive and resilient together.
Always know that as your Commodore, I pledge to fully support every PLYC member and the community. I am open to listen, help and support any ideas, suggestions and conversation that can make things better no matter how big or small. Everyone is welcome to call, text, email or come aboard my Dulcinea.
We look forward to seeing all of you soon within the coming weeks, whether it be in person, virtual or on the water. Keep an eye out on the PLYC membership form and club’s calendar for the new upcoming events for 2021.
Although we may be faced with challenges along the way, we will strive to do our very best to make this another fun and successful year.
I wish everyone a rewarding and memorable summer sailing season!
Sincerely
Katerina Xenos, Commodore
Point Lookout Yacht Club
