Greetings membership!

A big thank you to Ellen Vick for updating our club's directory. Ellen has been doing this for several years and we appreciate her time and effort. Ellen recently emailed a PDF out to the membership. If you would like a printed booklet, they are available to be picked up at the Club.​ If you are out of the area, a booklet will be mailed to you upon request. Contact Doug Taylor, office manager at thetay@aol.com.

The beer taps are again flowing! Get on down to the club and quench that thirst!
FROM THE REAR COMMODORE

Petaluma River, Napa River and of course San Rafael Creek have all been recently dredged after many, many years of struggling to get the work done. Thankfully our Congressional Representatives Jared Huffman (Marin/Sonoma) and Mike Thompson (Napa) listened to our pleas, and working together they were able to get a large portion of the funding in the Federal Budget which got the ball rolling. They put the pieces of the puzzle together for the alphabet soup agencies (USACE, Marin County, City of SR, BCDC, CMANC, RBOC, Bay Planning and many others) to get it done.

Every yacht club has their thing or couple of things that make it really fun to be a member and for other clubs to have a cruise-out and visit. This past weekend Petaluma had their traditional Memorial Weekend "Hawaiian" themed event! For the boaters, it was a wonderful trip up the river. If you have not gone up the river, I highly suggest you make the journey. It’s really a great experience and just beautiful. It’s so nice to know we have something like an experience to Petaluma so close.
There were 37 boats from 13 clubs. Many people drove up to join the festivities. Some even stayed in hotels. So, a little staycation was had by many.
The fun started on Friday night. PYC traditionally has a dockside cocktail making contest. Our very own Commodore Jerry McNulty took home the trophy.
Saturday was breakfast and enjoying the town of Petaluma until the afternoon when the Ukulele music started then the dinner was Hawaiian food. More fun visiting with each other onboard and at the bar.
Sunday there was a flag ceremony with the Coast Guard and fun games.
The most notable game being the winner got their weight in beer!

ALL HANDS ON DECK

The Auxiliary is open to all members and their significant others. Traditionally the Auxiliary leans towards family related activities. We organize Christmas parties, theme dinners (i.e., Italian nights, Cook Your Own Steak nights, Karaoke evenings) and many other fun-filled events. The goal is always to provide enjoyment and opportunities for fund raising.

Dues are only $20/year and are payable to SRYCA.
Just place your application and dues in the office mail slot.

ERNIE'S IDIOMS

A SHOT OF WHISKEY: In the old west a .45 cartridge for a six-gun cost 12 cents, so did a glass of whiskey. If a cowhand was low on cash he would often give the bartender a cartridge in exchange for a drink. This became known as a "shot" of whiskey.

SHOWBOAT: These were floating theaters build on a barge that was pushed by a steamboat. They played small towns along the Mississippi River. They were gaudy and attention grabbing which is why we say it when someone is "showboating."
