The 2022 PLYC Pink Race is Saturday, July 9th. 
Our goal is to have fun while raising funds for a local organization that supports female empowerment.  This year, we have chosen The Safe Center LI *

We hope to raise money to support this cause through the following:

All boats entering the race will pay a $20 entrance fee.

We will be selling Pink hats the day before and day of the race for $25.

Members may also donate any amount they choose by bringing cash or a check the day of the race or sending via PayPal, Venmo or Zelle.  (Please note on payment Pink Race entry fee, Pink Race donation, and/or Pink Hat)

All boats MUST have at least one female aboard working as captain, crew, or helmsperson in order to be eligible to win.

Dress in pink and decorate your boats with pink streamers, etc to show your support for Girl Power 

All proceeds will be donated directly to The Safe Center LI
*About the Safe Center LI:
To protect, assist and empower victims of family violence and sexual assault while challenging and changing social systems that tolerate and perpetuate abuse and to provide a fast and easy path to resources that assist in saving and changing the lives of the victims of domestic or dating abuse, child abuse, and rape and sexual assault.

PLYC Fourth of July Weekend & Fireworks!

Happy Fourth of July Weekend PLYC!

Monday night Jones Beach July Forth Fireworks, if Mother Nature allows us! We will leave the dock at 8:00 pm and flotilla our way out. Last year was a blast as we had a dingy raft up. I will pray and will make a special sacrifice to Poseidon for a safe voyage!

It’s been a tough start for us this year, due to the tides, inlet and weather. Sadly, we haven’t raced yet and our last flotilla was a wash too. No worries, we got a plan. Our wonderful Race Commodore Bobby T. is working on making up for it with a fun series of races, more info coming soon!

Getting out of the marina is still an ongoing dilemma. Vice Commodore Paul S. and John K. will rally on our behalf. Together, we need to step up our game in order to make change happen! We ask that everyone contribute by sending a list of anything big, small or in between, all and any issues, ideas and concerns that you have with the marina. Just respond back to this email, your recommendations are truly valued. Once the list has been complied, the next step will be to start letting Town of Hempstead know! We will apply pressure starting with the chain of command and working are way up. Johnny Bono has set up a Facebook page “Point Lookout East Marina”. We will need everyone’s help in following, liking, posting pictures and comments with our concerns on this page. We ask that you invite everyone we know to like and follow our page. Also spread the word. Exposure is key, the more traffic, the more pressure we cause and ideally see eventual results. It will take time, 100% participation with perseverance and consistency to succeed.

If you haven’t done so already, please follow up with Jan, regarding TLC. Please confirm what donations you will be providing, what shift you will be volunteering for to sell tickets in Point Lookout the weekend before July 9 and 10, volunteering to create baskets Wednesday July 13, 7:00 pm at the TLC and volunteer boats for the cruises.
Lastly what shift you will volunteer to man the tables and sell 50/50s. Who is up for the challenge to break the 50/50s record sales?

Following up Elyn’s email for the Pink Race! Kindly submit your female captain info for your boat, required Pinks hats and donations. Don’t forget to dress you and your boats in PINK!

Save the date for the PLYC Monthly Membership Meeting is on Friday July 22 at 7:30 pm in the pergola. The theme will be International cuisine, it’s a pot luck! Everyone brings a favorite dish from your heritage/culture/family history. Ideally you would cook the dish but you can cheat and buy it too. Doing what we PLYC do best, feast, talk and of course docktailing!

Past Commodore Ellen had gotten the group to attend a Jimmy Buffet Tail Gate! She inspired us again. Who is up to go to the Jimmy Buffett concert and/or Tail Gate Party Tuesday August 9? Reply back and we will follow up with more details.

We are coordinating a Block Island Flotilla Trip tentatively the starting the last week of August and the first week of September. Who’s in?

Lastly, we are starting to plan for the 2023 Sailing trip to Greece? Remember the one that got cancelled due to covid in 2020. Let me know asap!

I know it’s a lot. It’s been a challenge but we always get through the challenges with amazing memories and so much fun…even from the dock!

PS: Wishing this beautiful couple, MaryAnn and Bobby the Happiest Golden Wedding Anniversary! 50 years and going strong!

Ahoy PLYC!
My apologies,  due to the early high tide at 7:24 am, which turns out to be a “low high tide”. The Blue Angels show starts at 10:00 am till 3:00 pm
We are correcting the super quick captains meeting to 9:30 am. It is recommended that everyone should leave the dock by 10:00 am
Please thank our PLYC Guardian Angel Vice Commodore Paul, who always watches out for all of our boats especially when we aren’t around. He will be heading the Captains Meeting.
If it’s too early… brunch docktails are  always an option. 
See ya at the dock. 
Luv 
Kat
