From the Commodore
Summer, as defined in the dictionary is: "
the warmest season of the year, in the northern hemisphere from June to August" whoa... the past few weeks are certainly living up to it! Yes we started out with an unusually cooler spring and certainly enough rain... but here we are and it's time to enjoy the boating season.
I want to thank Capt'n Ron with the PYM Cruise, aka "Past Your Mate" Baybridge Marina cruise in June. I heard it was well attended and a lot of fun was had by all.

BPYC 2016 Opening Weekend was a huge success!
We had special guests
Vice Commodore Harry Chandler, Crescent Yacht Club, Fleet Captain Penny Rhine, Miles River Yacht Club, Commodore Bill Richards, Galloway Yacht Club and fleet, the Board of Governors of the Veterans Yacht Club Association Craig Beck attend our Opening Ceremony and provided burgees from each of their Clubs which was outstanding.
Thank you!
A special thanks to the BPYC Past Commodores in attendance, Wendy Shortes 2015, Gary Newswanger 2013, Charlie Wright 2011, Randy Robinson 2005 and Phil Hock 2000. And I would be remiss if I didn't give a big thank you to Roger & Jeanine Schafer for their much needed help in the proper protocol for the event and to incoming 2017 Fleet Captain Belinda Kopp and Charlotte Fredericks in helping to pull things together.

I want to give a shout out to all members to join in the fun, join in the festivities, join in the Cruises... this is all for you, your yacht club.

From the Vice Commodore

Vice Commodore Sharron Gilbert reports that the June 4th Opening Weekend was a huge success and thanks to everyone for your help! A big thank you to Bowleys Marina in providing the tent for all of our 2016 activities! The tent was a huge success and everyone had a great time dancing to the tunes by "The Karma Sharkz."
Our next event is the Crab Feast scheduled for Saturday, September 10th and music will be provided by the one and only... Rob Fahey & The Pieces. Keep a look out for the flyer for signing up and for volunteers.

From the Fleet Captain
|
Fleet Captain Capt'n Ron shared there were
(10) boats for the PYM Cruise to Baybridge Marina. They traveled by school bus to Kentmoor to the Tiki Bar and listened to the steel band. All had a great time!
Click here for more cruise photos.
Next up is the Parrot Cruise to Herrington Harbour South Marina. We expect to have a great time. This trip needed you to sign up in January - so slips are most likely not available. In August we are going to experience a Chesapeake Bay Polynesian Cruise at Skipjack Cove Yachting Resort. Join in the fun!
This is all about you... lets have fun!
Signing off from the Helm,
Sincerely,
Jim Norman (B-32)
Fleet Captain
