Happy New 2022 Sailing Season! Hope everyone is safe and looking forward to a more “normal” summer. Hopeful that the worst of Covid is behind us, yet we still have to be mindful of safety first.
As the weather slowly gets warmer and a few boats have snuck into our lonely marina, with Legato leading in the first ship to home port. Followed by Haleakala 1 and my Dulcinea. It was nice to count three masts in the sky. Can’t wait for everyone else to come home.
Very exciting news! Congratulations are in order as we will be welcoming Jayne and Rob with their beautiful new Jeanneau to PLYC the fleet!
We will be faced with challenges this season with the Inlet and Marina depths and lack of dredging. Race Commodore Bobby has been working diligently on charting a map on where and how to get out of the inlet. We also have planned all the races around the tides and when the tides aren’t in our favor for a race. We focused on flotillas to destinations.
I would like to mention a special Thank You to John Kalfa who has been dedicated to the Inlet cause and working behind the scenes motivating everyone to get involved in making calls and sending letters to local government officials.
The beautiful Social Commodores have been busy working on this Season’s Kickoff Party. The theme this year is Cruise to Nowhere. When we aren’t sailing, we have fun events planned. Monthly Member meetings will be theme based. Such as a international culinary boat to boat pot luck. Pergola Salsa dancing with Mendy as our instructor. A movie night and Wednesday night Dingy Races. Doing what we do best “Docktails” especially for Thirsty Thursday’s.
The Ocean Balloon Clean up was such a great success with so many great pictures. That it is on for this year. Who will challenge last years winners Jeremy and Glo?
We kindly ask that for the PLYC Annual Kickoff Party, it is extremely important to please RSVP so we can plan and accommodate appropriately. The deadline to RSVP is April 10 – $100 per person and after it goes up to $110 per person. If you haven’t done so already, Membership dues are due as well. Both can be easily paid via Venmo or Zelle.
Greatly appreciate Jan and Johnny B that keep on supporting us behind the scenes in making it all come together.
For your convenience, enclosed is the Membership form and the 2022 Calendar. Please save the dates for all upcoming events.
Looking forward to another fabulous Summer Sailing Season!
See you soon!
Sincerely,
Commodore Katerina Xenos
