The next meeting will be held September 16.
Instead of heading the Entertainment Committee,
the Rear Commodore will participate in the Finance
Committee. The logic behind this is that it is critical
for the Rear Commodore to be very knowledgeable
about our Club finances. Yes, there will still be that
all important Entertainment Committee and a Board
member will be appointed to serve as the liaison to
Entertainment.
The instructions that specifically say how annual
ballots must be folded would be deleted.
l Now, on to the docks. Last December, the
Board formed a Capital Improvements Committee
to evaluate and make recommendations regarding
our docks and clubhouse. We’re ready to share the
baseline data on the docks.
l Several of our members have taken on the task
of exploring what it would take to either rebuild
our existing docks in the same footprint or in a
new configuration. The committee researched
whether the docks should be fixed or floating, or a
combination of both. Permitting options were also
explored. There is a lot of good, solid information
the committee has put together in an interesting
presentation.
Please be assured that there hasn’t been a decision
made about the docks yet. The purpose of the Docks
Town Hall is to present information to you, our members,
before the Board of Directors makes its decision.

Staff their appreciation for all the attention
the Staff gives us all year long. Each and

Hello Everyone,
Even though Tropical Storm Fred
tried to horn in on our Monthly
Cruise to Twin Dolphin, we still had
18 boats attending. The rain held
off Thursday evening so we could
have a cookout by the pool with
everyone bringing side dishes. Frank Giardina and Jim
Turner showed off their grilling skills with hamburgers
and hotdogs. Friday morning, some guys went golfing
while ladies walked to Caddy’s on the beach for some
shopping. Thirty four of us celebrated Richie Shaw’s
birthday with dinner at Mattison’s Grill on Friday
evening. Saturday morning Jim and Cat Coats provided
everyone with Muffins, Bloody Mary’s, Champagne
and Mimosas. A few boats headed home on Saturday,
though most stayed until Sunday.
As always, if anyone is interested in joining us on
any of our cruises, please email me at Slnewcom@
verizon.net
Stay Safe on the Water and Happy Boating!!!
next month’s cruise will be our Annual
Cruise-In at Clearwater Yacht Club Sept. 16-19. We will
hold our beloved Potato Derby on Saturday at the Club.
Of course, all the boyscout/cubscout parents remember
the anomaly called the Pinewood Derby—yeah, that’s the
one we helped our sons prepare for. As adults, we just
substitute a potato for the pinewood. It is always a fun
event. So please
plan to attend. Prizes
will be awarded for
the best decorated
potato car and, of
course, the winner
of the race.

12 CYC COMPASS September 2021By Curtis Wold, Rear Commodore
In August, we started off with
Music B-I-N-G-O on Tuesday the
tenth with Donna as the host trying to
get us to guess the name of that tune.
Following that, the annual White Party on
Saturday the fourteenth featuring White/
Champagne/Sparkling wine tasting brought out a great crowd
that kindly moved upstairs thanks to rain from Tropical Storm
Fred. Trivia was replaced by Music Bingo on Thursday, the
twenty-sixth. We finished the month with the traditional
Employee Turnabout Party on Sunday the twenty-ninth with
homemade potluck dishes and sides from the members and
Tom Cummings and his team at the grill.
In September, we are kicking off the month
on Labor Day Weekend (September 4-6).
Brittany Monet sponsored by Paul Greenhalgh
(DJ Paul) will entertain on September 4,
Brian Caudill playing on September 5 and a
relaxing pool party/barbeque on September
6. The Cruisers Cruise-In at CYC September
16-19. Trivia will be on September 16, JR playing on September
17, and the Potato Car Race/Cookout and Yachting Kickoff on
September 18th. We’ll close out the weekend with watching
the Bucs v. Atlanta on September 19.
We will finish the month with the
CYC Poker Run, Saturday, September
25, 10am-3pm. Our thanks again
to Christy Crist,Tom Cummings,
Hoyt Nichols, and Jim Hannigan
for sponsoring the Captains Rum Night with Jim Donnell
playing downstairs on Friday, September 24. Keep your eye
on the calendar, Facebook, and Constant Contacts for other
entertainment details.
For this month’s yacht club trivia, how should one determine
the size of the national ensign or yacht ensign to fly from one’s
boat? Text me at 727-641-8633 with your answer and your name;
I will give you a gift certificate for a couple of drinks at the CYC
Tiki Bar for the first member who texts me the correct answer.
Last month, I asked, what is the proper way to fly the club
burgee and national ensign on a gaff-rigged pole? According to
the United States Power Squadron website, “. . . the national
ensign should be flown from the gaff and the club or organization
burgee should be flown at the masthead.” As of the Compass
deadline, I had no correct responses to this trivia question rather
than three, so folks continue making this too easy on my CYC bill.
The next Entertainment meeting will be on Tuesday,
September 14 at 6:30 pm at CYC. Until then, I can be
reached at woldca@gmail.com or on my cell phone by text or
voice at (727) 641-8633. When CYC members choose where
to go out, join our CYC family for a fun time!
