NOVEMBER 2006Vol. 21, No. 8
F all is definitely upon us! As the rain falls and thewind blows, I think of the things I have and havenot done to winterize my boat. I need to cap off
my diesel tank, pull all halyards away from my mast, getmy heat source up and safe, service my potable water, checkmy batteries, close the sea cocks, open up the lockers so Ican get air movement, check antifreeze levels, check enginezincs, lube the head, clean and spray bilge pump electricconnections, pull in the Life Sling, clean and stow my BBQ,set the cushions on edge, look for deck leaks, tie on second-ary mooring lines, flush and fog the outboard, stabilize mygas fuel tank, store the dingy, clean the bilge, and last butnot least make a hot drink and curl up with a good book inthe quarter birth on a raining and blowing afternoon. Youprobably have your own list.
As we walk the docks this fall and winter checking onour boats, let’s keep an eye on our neighboring vessels. Thereis no reason to sustain storm damage; most can be averted.If you see activity on other club boats, knock on the hulland say hello. Thievery is still a problem on the docks.Another good thing is to get to know your live-a-boards.They may walk by your boat twice a day. I hear cookies arealways a good idea! I have been helped by passing neigh-bors, and I have been out in a storm helping my neighbors;it’s just part of being in community with fellow boaters.
We will have a great speaker representing the city wa-ter front plan at this months’ meeting on Tuesday the 21st.I was at a meeting at WWU and it sounded like the Uni-versity had designs on part of that property. The port hasideas as does the city and the private business sector all onyour water front property. Your tax dollars own it! How
does that all blend together? Who will open thedraw bridge to let boats in and out of the water-way? Will they dreg the waterway it so sailboatscan get in? It could be fun watching boats land inthe current of the stream during heavy run off. Lotsof ideas, lot of plans. See where we fit into theseideas and how they affect you! Also this meetingwe need to vote on the club budget and your BridgeOfficers for 2007. That shouldn’t take too long. Andthe pot luck! Such great food as always!
Now to jump ahead: the December Meetingwill have great holiday food with a leisurely candlelitdining experience. And music with the BellinghamShow Stoppers! It promises to be a great and a livelymusical performance. I may be a little bias, as mytalented and lovely daughter and fellow club mem-ber is in this group. We again will have a bin forToys for Tots. So pick up an unwrapped gift or two

COMMITTEE REPORTS
Race: Rocky Goodhope reported there was a low turnout for the awardspresentation meeting in October, possibly in part because no other speakerwas planned. There was an award to Dreamtime for the most races andanother to Mañana for performance. Denny Holmstrom has agreed to bethe Race Chair and Committee Boat Chief for the first part of next seasonup to July. We may have a long first series followed by a shorter less formalone instead of the usual two short series.
Reciprocity: Steve Clevenger had no new reciprocal agreements toannounce. He has acquired some double-sided tape to affix informationboxes to the boat boxes of those slips in our program.
Membership: Nori Yamashita proposed new members David Cunninghamand Jeanne Richardson (San Juan 7.7, Tiramisu) who were approved.
Administrative: Our November speaker will be Malcom Fleming of theBellingham Mayor’s office to tell us more about the waterfront plan. Wewill also hold the election of officers.
Cruise Chair: Dave Barrett will poll the members to help plan next year’scruise schedule. Their will be a Gate 9 pier NW New Year’s Eve gatheringagain this year. Rumors of ribald singing and skinny-dipping at the lastNew Year’s Eve function were apparently untrue.
Homeport Editor: Jack Bazhaw raised the question of delivering theNewsletter electronically, but the consensus was that members preferred tohave a hard copy for reference. Once again it took but a terse commandfrom the commodore to set the copy deadline for this month’s issue asSaturday night.
Treasurer: Kaye Clevenger reported the balances of the checking and
savings accounts as $4258 and $7246, respectively. The 2006-07 budgetwas presented at the October meeting and will be approved at theNovember meeting.

The Turkey Fry Cruise was accessible from dry land as poorweather and storm predictions kept us from venturing outagain this year. Dave & Deb Jones accommodated all 35 par-ticipants in their garage again. There was no shortage of foodor good conversation and a good time was had by all. Let’s allhope that next year we will get to sail though!!
