f

holes in all of the empty vegetable cans so that we could have that sparkly candlelight atmosphere. Darnelldesigned an “islandy” vase for her huge philodendron leaves, and JB Ilgenfritz, Rae Ann Normandand Margaret Russ helped us put them together the Friday night before the party. JB, Jean Roberts and

Mary Brisbi worked together to stuff the gorilla and chicken before artfully placing them in their

respective hammocks. Peggy Stone cut tablecloths before helping Val and Carol Whited hang ceilingdecorations. June Collins and Mary Brisbi worked on the awning, and when Jim Richardt arrived with

the supports we finished the creation. It took a group effort and lots of arms, but thankfully by then we had

more help from Pam and Rus Carpenter, and we raised the awning up and out. What a sight! (continued on

Larry and Carol Whited topped off everything with numerous decorative items, and a TIKI BAR! Wow,what a great addition to the party, and to our balcony. Our thanks to everyone who helped move it from theirhouse, Glenn and Mary O'Rourke helped immensely by picking it up in their truck and bringing it upstairs.We'll all enjoy it, along with the lights that Sandy and Harley strung up out there.

I don't know if we could ever remember everyone that brought food, but we’ll try! Thanks to Jeff and KathyHebert, JB Ilgenfritz, Al Normand, Hetty Barnes, Darnell Godwin, Shannon Williams, Margaret Russ,June Collins, Dodie Jones, Harriet Toups, NOYC members Janet Kelly and Laura Beverly, Peggy Stoneand her neighbor Jeannine Adam, Tom and Debbie Smith, Jean Almos, Ann Courrege, Sandy McPeek,Barry Statia and Jean Roberts, Kelley Richardt, and Val Monahan. As usual, we had more than could beeaten and were able to freeze some to save for future events. We had chicken wings, bacon wrapped shrimp,ham, pork, rice dishes, casseroles, pasta, beans and desserts galore. Dodie and Frank whipped up a specialbatch of drinks for the party, and busted tail behind the bar for most of the night. Bayou Self did his usual good job of entertaining the crowd, and even played a special song for Frank. Webroke up the dancing with the raffles. Our special thanks to Ann Courrege for doing a super duper job sellingraffle tickets. We had a variety of wine and liquor baskets and racks that had been donated by our members.The winners were Mark Konos, Al Normand, JB Ilgenfritz, and Jean Almos. Mark and Lisa Palermodonated a wonderful basket full of all of the latest hair care products, you'll just need to take one look at myhair to know who the big winner was! (continued on page 6)

And we can't forget the "Best Lei" contest. Now that we all saw the super prize, a great beach towelembroidered with "Best Lei at TYC 2007", Dottie David may have even more competition next time. I onlywish that we had had a prize for best Calypso outfit, we all know that Bubba Groce would have been the surefire winner. (continued on page 7)

Above, all who wore a lei were inspected by judges JB Ilgenfritz and Mary Brisbi. As you can see at right, Dottie David won the prize.

Last but not least, the LIMBO CONTEST. First of all, thanks to Kyle Bowser for the last minute limbo pole,we used all of our wood pieces for the awning. We had lots of participants in the contest, but at the end, theclear winners were Becky Good and Kevin Blank. Harley crowned them the new Limbo King and LimboQueen for 2007.

I join Val and her entertainment committee in thanking all of you for making this a really fun event.

Darnell Godwin, Kyle Bowser, KevinBlank, and Becky Good go under the limbostick. Even Mark Konos, although in a littleunconventional way, got in on the fun.

In the end, the clear winners were Kevin Blank and Becky Good.

THANK YOU!! Thank you to Larry and Carol Whited fordonating the fabulous tiki bar that is on thebalcony. It is a great addition to our club. Also, thank you to Brad Carey and Steve andDodie Jones for their contributions towards thepatio tables and chairs. What an improvement!

TYC BURGEE EXCHANGES Over the last few months, TYC burgees have beenrequested by other yacht clubs. In June, Dick & JeanAlmos initiated an exchange with the Charleston (SC)Yacht Club. This month, we sent a TYC burgee to theYacht Club of Sea Isle City (NJ) in response to theirrequest and are awaiting receipt of their burgee. Mostrecently, the Buccaneer Yacht Club, in Mobile, AL,requested a TYC burgee to replace the one that wasdestroyed by Katrina. As you travel, consider being aTYC Ambassador, take along a burgee for exchange.Maybe we can get enough to finish circling the diningroom with burgees.

First Aid (and more) Afloat Let’s look at what every boater should have on board both for local boating as well as voyaging coastwise andbeyond. Even before preparation, we should consider prevention. Proper clothing and headgear and potionsto avoid sunburn and heat-related illness to start. Tidy decks and a neat, secure belowdecks is also a must. Allgear should be secured and/or stowed before getting underway. Any lines should be stowed taut, especiallythose on deck and underfoot. An empty water bottle stepped on can result in a simple ankle sprain or afracture or even a fatal head wound. Survey your vessel and get it together. For a first aid kit, one can start with a basic commercial kit and add to it as needed for local travel and daytrips. Weekenders within a short time of land need more items especially for wound care. Offshore venuesshould prompt one to get some medical training and include a variety of Rx meds and supplies such as IVfluids. A basic kit should include bandages – BandAids ®, butterfly strips or Steri-strips®, simple sterile gauze padsand tape. Silk tape, 1” wide is good as a single choice – it’s secure and easily torn to size. Antibioticointment, Betadine®, some type of irrigating solution (get a bottle of contact lens solution that can be useddirectly in the eye; it can double as a wound irrigant) will suffice for wound goop and cleaning. A decent pairof iris (pointed) scissors, quality pick-ups or tweezers for foreign body removal. A few sterile 18 ga. needlescan also help here – the sharp bevel can act as a mini scalpel to unroof skin overlying a foreign body. SomeTylenol and aspirin would round out the basic kit – Tylenol for hangovers and aspirin for those pesky MI’s.Commercial cold packs are helpful for acute injuries but you can substitute two cold six-packs – apply one tothe affected area and drink the other! Ziplocs of ice work well; just protect the skin with a layer of cloth. Beyond basics, add an ACE wrap or two for sprain/strains. They work well also to hold an ice pack in place.Remember the R.I.C.E. pneumonic – Rest, Ice, Compress and Elevate sprains and contusions. Silvadene burncream is Rx but a good to have on board. For quick splints, consider tongue blades for fingers and toes, paintstirrers or rolled up papers for larger splints. A couple different widths of roll gauze can be used to either padany extremity before applying a splint and ACE wrap or to dress larger wounds. In terms of meds, sea-sickness can be treated with OTC’s or Rx ‘s - Meclizine, Transderm Scop patches, Phenergan Suppositoriesand/or Zofran ODT should be on board. Some studies show ginger to be effective for prevention of sea-sickness. You can get capsules, powder or use pickled ginger. Perhaps gingerale as a mixer might help? Ifyou have any old farts in the crew, consider Nitro spray for acute chest pain. For offshore or prolonged coastal trips, consider more meds and more equipment. IV fluids, tubing andcatheters, a suture kit or stapler and/or Dermabond (skin glue) and even some rolls of plaster for more robustsplinting come to mind. However, training to use most of these toys is recommended. Local anesthetics,injectable anti-nausea and pain meds and assorted oral pain meds should also be on board. Work with yourphysician to get prescriptions of suitable meds in these categories. Of course an ample supply of any routineprescription meds that the crew needs is a given. Consider a couple types of broad spectrum antibiotics as wellas an anti-diarrhea drug such as Lomotil. Whether it’s tourista or mal-de-mar that causes nausea and vomiting,one can use oral rehydration even in moderately severe cases in lieu of IV fluids. You can get packets ofelectrolyte replacement to mix with water or simply use water in combo with a sports drink. Even if one isactively vomiting, try to give oral fluid between episodes. Start with very small amounts fairly frequently andif tolerated, gradually increase the amount and interval. Unfortunately, beer does not qualify as a clear liquidin this case. However, some doctors have been known to work for Heineken. If all else fails, there are worse fates than burial at sea……… May you have Fair Winds and Following Seas.

On a relatively quiet Sunday afternoon/evening (is there such a thing at TYC ?), a number of folks kickedaround some ideas on how to entice more of our members to come up and enjoy the camaraderie thatTammany has to offer. We talked of movie nights, trivia contests, bingo, bunko and other things. The FirstMates fearless leader, Nancy Ritzmann - a definite shy and retiring person, had enough of just talking aboutthings to do and said - "Let's do it" (or words to that effect). What happened? Well on Thursday, August 2nd,fourteen members enjoyed being taught some of the finer points of Bourré (Booray). There are a few people,obviously NOT from around here, who hadn't even heard of the game. What fun we had. There wasinstructions on how to play, techniques, and not just a few questions on turning tricks - OK, that has a numberof connotations so let's be clear about the meaning of "tricks". In this case it had to deal with the card game.We had so much fun, we're going to try to make it a weekly or semi-monthly activity. It may even be expandedinto a "Game Night". There was talk of other card games that might get up a table or two. We will try to keep iton a Wednesday or Thursday evening - depending on what else is going on. Y'all come out on the next oneand see for yourselves.

GAME NIGHT AT TYC

If you have a favorite game you would like to play, whether it be cards, board game, dominoes, or dice, let Nancy Ritzmann know. I’m sure she will arrange a night we can all try it!

Ahoy TYC and First Mates. First Mates had their regular board meeting on 9 August, 2007. Discussions surrounded our upcoming “Annual Pool Party & General First Mates Meeting” to be held on 29 September, 2007 at the home of Mary Pat Landry – please see the invitation enclosed in this month’s Spy Glass.

RACE COMMITTEE REPORT

Saturday, August 25, we held the make-up races for the club series. Kyle Bowser in Kokopelli, Kenny LaNata in Weather Witch and Tommy Thompson in John Winston came out for a day of racing. Wayne Jablonowski graciously provided power boat support for the Committee Boat. Wayne and Beth set a nice windward leeward course. Kokopelli needed to win only one race to take the series. Tommy came out for a casual race and kept the other two crews honest. This could be the first or second race on his own boat. Weather Witch suffered a couple of bad shifts and Kokopelli had a nice lead at the first mark. While Kenny was able to close the gap he was unable to catch Kyle. The second race was the Lean Polderman make-up. Again Kokopelli was first at the mark but on the last leeward leg Weather Witch caught a favorable puff and roared down on Kokopelli like a freight train. Positioning herself with Kokopelli in her wind shadow forced a j

ibe and Kokopelli suffered a tangled jib sheet downhaul casualty that allowed Weather Witch a passing lane. Weather Witch crossed the line first and won on corrected time by mere seconds. Congratulations to all the sailors. We will award the traditional Lean Polderman trophies at Friday Night dinner. Don’t forget the Wednesday night Bill Watson Fall Series signup is September 5th, with races starting the following Wednesday. And of course the TYC Single Handed Race Around the Lake is September 15th. We always need volunteers to help with Committee Boat so please get in touch with Steve Jones if you are looking for a good excuse to use your boat, whether you want to compete or support the Race Committee.

FROM OUR CLUB MANAGER…….

Well TYC Members! Here we are two years after Katrinaand I think we have come through pretty well! I want togive many thanks to so many of you for your participationin your club! Without you, our members, coming up topatron the events and dinners at TYC we would not havemade it through the re-opening as well, or where we aretoday! We are coming into 2008 pretty fast and I hope thatwe have your support this coming year as well. TammanyYacht Club is a small club and I know many are thinkingthat we may not have enough sailing involvement to fit theirneeds, but my hat is off to the group who did keep ittogether even after the devastation Katrina left us in. Adevoted group did manage to organize the "Two Against theLake Race" in 2006, then in 2007 when TYC opened, thesame devoted group pulled off the Bill Watson Series, withgenerous donations for t-shirts and trophies from some of our members, some members who participated in the Gulfport to Pensacola and many other races that maynot have started from Tammany, but still we had Tammany faces who kept active in these races representingour club. Without their devoted participation some of these races would not have taken place! For those ofyou who were not able to make the Calypso Party!! Well I can only say you missed a great event! Manythanks to Val Monahan, Kelley Richardt, Darnell Godwin, Sandy McPeek and so many others for making ita great success! As time flies by us so fast sometimes we forget that we can find our friends at TYC so seeyou at the club!
