2 NBYC Members, Well, my friends, we are already off to an amazing start for 2018 with an eager Board of Directors, many new committees and volunteers for everything you can imagine to run a successful club. Thank you all for your generous contributions of time and creativity... Is this a great club or what! Our recent Change of Watch was an elegant Mardi Gras Ball that provided us with a memorable evening in a beautiful venue with excellent dining, thoughtful ceremonies and dancing the night away. Lucy Lichty and her committee delighted the club with a night to remember. The club enjoyed and appreciates all of your diligent efforts for a great event. Anticipating fairer weather our Rear Commodore, Jack Fleming, has two meetings this month to set the boating calendar for the year. Powerboaters, sailors and paddlers are all invited to help plan the on the water activities. I've caught wind of some very creative ideas and unique adventures to fill your boating season this year. Please join in the Cruise Planning Meetings and help set our course for A frequent visit to the club's website, and the club's calendar will keep you abreast of every social activity, meeting schedule and boating activity. Thank you June, Jeff and Jim for your vigilance in recording all of the NBYC activities and events. Not sure of what's going on, just go to our website calendar. As many of you know, our new Board Member Barbara Bidwell has been on call to care for her parents. Barbara, regrettably, has asked to resign from the Board due to increased demand in caring for her father and the Board is seeking a replacement. Please keep Barbara and her family in your thoughts. In closing, I would again extend thanks to the Past Commodore, Karl Lichty, for handing me a well managed and beautiful yacht club filled with very happy Members. It just doesn't get any better than that! Tim -Tim Broderick Commodore brodericknbnc@yahoo.com

3 2018 Cruising The Club s cruising calendar is starting to fill up. On the calendar are the Shakedown and Wooley Bear Cruises of course. Jeff and Lisa Noyes will be heading for the Chesapeake in April and possibly on to National Harbor with its new MGM Casino. Mike and Sarah Ott are talking of going along. Jeff is welcoming company all or part of the way. Frank and Sandy Bruno have a slip reservation in Ocracoke for the Music Festival in early June. They too are welcoming company. The Cruising meetings are scheduled for February 6 (big boats) and 13 (all others). We ll identify additional cruising opportuni3es and put some flesh on the ones already started. We have a new opportunity with the Trent River Raft Race slated for June 23. We ll cover this one at the meeting on February 13. March 9th is the Cruiser of the year dinner. Additional details are being worked on as I type and will be published ASAP. Last but not least, we have some good news and some bad news that will become good news regarding the docks. First off, they are filling up. That s the good news. The other news is in regard to the water system. It is kaput. Frozen and split in numerous places. That is the bad news. This becomes good news because the club will be installing a new system. Plans and budget are being prepared with Installa3on scheduled for March. Volunteers to help with the preliminary work and installa3on are needed. If you are interested contact myself or Bill McHale. Jack -Jack Fleming, Rear Commodore eilcmhor@gmail.com
