From the Commodore
As I am sure this is true for most of you, boating is my release from the everyday hectic stressful lives we live. I come to our lovely Bowleys Marina and as soon as I see the water, the stress starts rolling away. The BPYC is for me, another way to have fun with boaters with like minds, let's boat, break bread, have a drink and have fun. So my friends, that is what I like and love about Bowleys and want to see continue.
BPYC is now at a turning point my friends, one that I am hopeful will continue. This cannot be done without you. Let's put this in perspective,
- Your yacht club is now at 152 members and that is impressive.
- Your yacht club had more new members attend the last cruise than ever before.
- Your yacht club is depending on you to participate.
- Your yacht club needs at a minimum 2 volunteers to fill open officer positions for the yacht club to continue. This need is greater than I have ever experienced with this organization.
Your yacht club needs the following positions filled to continue:
- 2017 Vice Commodore - person that organizes events, Opening Weekend, Crab Feast and Change-of-Watch.
- 2017 Rear Commodore - person that puts together the information for the newsletter. Corresponding Secretary Alice Buchman then takes that information and designs the newsletter.
- 2017 Fleet Captain - person that puts together the cruise destinations.
Your yacht club has the following 2017 slate of Officers:
- Commodore
- Treasurer
- Recording Secretary
- Corresponding Secretary
I am confident that at our next board meeting scheduled at 7 p.m. on Friday September 9th (the day before the Crab Feast) that we will have many ideas and suggestions on how to continue our fine club. Please plan to attend and help us. Past officers are welcome to fill these open positions on an interim basis if no one volunteers. Feel free to call me at any time to offer your name to the 2017 slate of officers at (717) 858-4034.
I want to thank Capt'n Ron with the Parrot Cruise at Herrington Harbour South Marina and last weekend at the Chesapeake Bay Polynesian Cruise at Skipjack Cove Yachting Resort. Capt'n Ron has done a most excellent job and fun is always had on the bay!
I want to give a shout out to all members to join in the fun, volunteer... this is all for you, your yacht club.

Vice Commodore Sharron Gilbert reports that the Crab Feast is scheduled for Saturday September 10th and music will be provided by the one and only... Rob Fahey & The Pieces. You must sign-up to attend because the crabs are ordered based on the reservations. Volunteers are still needed - please be sure to sign up. As of August 23rd we are at 52 people attending the Crab Feast. Hurry and sign-up, seating is limited.

From the Fleet Captain

Fleet Captain Capt'n Ron shared that everyone that attended the
Parrot Cruise at Herrington Harbour South Marina had a great time. Okay so the group was small, but that doesn't matter when you are together... great pool... great food & great music. Click here for photos from the Parrot Cruise.
 Just last week we had 14 boats and 2 cars attend the Chesapeake Bay Polynesian Cruise at Skipjack Cove Yachting Resort. We had several first timers and I believe they are now hooked! The weather was great. The pool was great. The view as always, amazing. And the Polynesian Festival was spectacular. The fire dancers, the belly dancers, the Capt'n Ron & Troy dancers.... what more can I say. Click here for photos from the Polynesian Cruise.
Next up is the Labor Day Weekend "Party Cruise" at Castle Harbor Marina. Come on out and have some fun everyone.

This is all about you... lets have fun!
Signing off from the Helm,
Sincerely,
Jim Norman (B-32)
