March 2020
Lady Patti and I continue to be quite busy representing GIYC at
various events at home and around the region. We attended the
EMBC Ball honoring Commodore Neal LeBlanc and Lady Kim on
February 1st at the Sheraton Hotel in Romulus. We had a marvelous
turnout for the Speakeasy event at “The Keep” in downtown Detroit.
We participated in the 2019 AYC Ball weekend honoring
Commodore Tom Kovach and Lady Patty. I’m proud to announce
that GIYC, together with PPBC and SSBC, won first place for our
hospitality room! The Disney Magic was magical and a Great Time
working with members of the other clubs to present GIYC with style
to the AYC crowd in attendance. We also represented GIYC at the
NCYC Burgee Ball held in Toledo honoring Commodore Bert
Rossnagel and Lady Marilyn. The Burgee Ball is a celebration of the
NCYC Members, not a traditional Commodore’s Ball.
Great People – Special thanks to P/C Terry McCarthy
for all his hard work getting GIYC looking good for the
coming season.
As I have said before, many Great People have influenced
my time as a young adult sailor at GIYC. Featured on this
month’s cover are a few photos of people that helped shape
our GIYC experience. Because of these people I fell in love
with GIYC, sailboat racing, and the people they attract. Share
the love! Invite someone new down to enjoy the club and the
many Great People that are part of it.
Starting with P/C Ron Stempien, and my best man, Ronnie Stempien, who by then were actively racing
Ragtime, Patti and I returned to GI in 1986 and started sailing out of GIYC once again. Believe it or not, the
water was so low Ragtime could not sail at times which drove Patti and I to join the club and buy our first
sailboat, Cheers. P/C John Perry and P/C Bruce Milkins introduced me to duck hunting where I won Rookie
of the Year my first year of hunting. P/C Hartwell and I bought the Ugly Duck and sailed in JY15’s all over the
country. After many seasons racing with Rick Bohl on Zephyr Hawk, we jumped in big and bought our first of
two Abbott 33’s called I Love You Baby! all while raising three boys and introducing them to the art of sailing
in the Jr. Program. Serving as Fleet Captain and on the Entertainment Committee back then really helped
spark our involvement in the club which has continued to this day.
Great Lakes – Patti and I were down visiting our grandchildren, Claire and Simon, in Corpus Christi recently,
flying over Lake Erie on the way home sure made me happy to be back and, oh baby, there is not much ice
coverage so maybe we can launch early this year.
Great Times – By the time this reaches your mailbox we will have taken a brief tour of Bourbon land thanks
to Tyler Garrett.

Commodore Todd Duffett
Lady Els and I had the privilege of representing our wonderful
Club at the Sunseeker’s Boating Club Ball on February 8, and the
AYC Commodore’s Ball on February 15 ….. at this rate (and we’re
just getting started) I’m concerned about the fit of my uniform in the
upcoming years!
A new year, a new venue ….. this year’s AYC Commodore’s Ball
weekend was held at Sheraton Metro Airport in Romulus, Michigan.
This year’s theme was Everything Disney and our hospitality suite
had a Disney Cruise theme. I’m proud to report that the team of
Grosse Ile Yacht Club, Sunseeker’s Boating Club, and Point Place
Boat Club did a great job of decorating our suite and we ended up taking 1st place for the Best Room.
Disney Cruise passengers were greeted Captain Stubing (Commodore Todd Duffett) and Gopher (me) as
they entered the ship for drinks and snacks. GIYC was well represented by the Balazys, Duffetts, Evans’,
and the Fergusons ….. a great time was had by all!
The Bourbon Trail Winter Rendezvous in Louisville, Kentucky is just around the corner (03/26 – 03/29) and
it’s not too late for you to join us! Todd and Patti have a lot of great things planned and I’m sure it’s going to
be a wonderful trip. Even if you’re not a bourbon drinker, it’s still going to be a great time to socialize with
your fellow members!
Lady Els and I have begun making entertainment arrangements for the Spring/Summer/Fall ….. please stay
tuned to the Spray for more details in the upcoming months!
As I mentioned in every one of my articles, there are many opportunities to get involved with the Club and to
have some fun with your fellow members! I encourage each and every one of you to Get Involved! Keep
your eye on the Spray for upcoming events!
We hope to see you around the Club!

Sound Healing Meditation with Lisa Harthun
Day/Date/Time: Saturday, March 21st 9:30am-10:30am
Cost: $20.00 per person - Cash Only
Location: Upper Level of the Grosse Ile Yacht Club 29677 E River Rd, Grosse Ile Twp., MI 48138
Details: Join us for a special restorative Sound Healing Meditation at the Grosse Ile Yacht Club to celebrate the Spring
Equinox. Deepen your connection to nature through the picturesque views of the Detroit River. We will connect the mind and
body through breath using Pranayama, a deep yogic breath. The sound healing session will be infused with Reiki and
Shamanic healing energy elements to help align and balance our energies, open our hearts for healing, and raise our vibration.
Program includes; Gong, specially tuned quartz crystal singing bowls, Tibetan and Himalayan singing bowls, tingsha, tuning
forks, shamanic drum and rattle, as well as healing with voice through Sanskrit mantra chanting. Facilitated by certified
Vibrational Sound Therapist, Shamanic Healing Practitioner, and Reiki Master Teacher, Lisa Harthun, who through extensive
study and research, has created a program called Healing Flow that emphasizes aligning our energies to attract Love, Peace,
and Harmony into our lives. Her heart centered program was designed to intuitively take you on a mind, and body journey of
healing, and balance. Through this process we are able break through and release stuck energy that had been preventing us
from being in the perfect mind body flow thus allowing for deeper healing, enhanced creativity, and allowing for a greater
sense of peace while attracting harmony, and abundance into our lives. Lisa intuitively guides the energy flow to facilitate a
greater healing journey for all, while sending Reiki healing to each participant. You do not need to be experienced in
meditation, as you will be guided through this peaceful and balancing journey. This is the perfect opportunity to relax,
recharge, and give yourself some much needed self-care. All are welcome in this inclusive healing space. Perfect for
individuals, couples, friends and groups. Benefits of Sound Healing include, and are not limited to; deep relaxation, improved
sense of overall wellbeing, aids in healing from illness, injury, and post-operative recovery, as well as in relief of discomfort
