2 NBYC Members, We have enjoyed another great month here at the New Bern Yacht Club with social events, boating and the continued celebration of the club's 25th Anniversary. The month of May started with a Cinco de Mayo party hosted by the Comers and Todds featuring wonderful south of the border dining and a live broadcast of the Kentucky Derby. Our annual Spring Clean Up had 30 Members maintaining the property over a two day period with outstanding results. Thanks to all who participated under the guidance of Vice Commodore Bill McHale. A very special NBYC 25th Anniversary Party was enjoyed by nearly a hundred participants that included 26 former Members for an afternoon of camaraderie, celebration and an excellent dinner! It really was a memorable event and our appreciation goes out to Sarah Kerner, Paula Hartman and Jacqueline Douglas for organizing this great celebration of the club's history. As the 25th Anniversary Celebration continues throughout the year we ask you to share your stories, photographs and memories of the club's history, which will be documented in a book to be produced by year's end. Please share your NBYC history to the Club Historian, Warren Lloyd, or the History Book Editor Jule Burke. Let's go boating! We have June cruises to the Ocracoke Music Festival on June 1-3, Manteo on June 3-6, and the Oriental Croakerfest on June 29-July 1. Please check the NBYC website for further details or contact Jack Fleming, Rear Commodore. And locally, don't forget our annual July 4th Party held at the club. You just never know when a Club Member gets the inspiration or weather window to boat somewhere fun and invite others to join in! Captain a Flash Cruise and share your good times on the water by sending out a SeaWord Extra for your day trip to somewhere unique. Thanks to everyone for your creativity and enthusiasm to provide a full schedule of social events, boating activities and help to manage a successful organization. Is this a great club or what! -Tim Broderick Commodore brodericknbnc@yahoo.com

3 2018 Cruising We re entering the peak cruising season with attendance at the Ocracoke Music Festival followed by Manteo and The Lost Colony play. We did have a scare this past week when it was learned that the Trent River Railroad bridge was broken and stuck in the closed position. How are all the club boats moored upriver of the bridge and scheduled to head for Ocracoke and Manteo going to make it? Fortunately, the Railroad has fixed the problem, albeit after at first ordering the wrong repair part. Then June 29 th to July 2 nd is the Croakerfest, in Oriental, always a good time. There are already five boats with slip reservations for that event. For you Land Yachters keep in mind that the Croakerfest has lots to hold your attention. We ll be rescheduling the International Wine Raft Up that had to be canceled due to weather in June. Look for a flier in the next couple of weeks. Have you looked at the docks lately? A brand new water system, the electrical system brought up to snuff, the decks all stained and deck boards replaced where necessary. With the exception of a couple of hours of Master Electrician support, all accomplished by NBYC members. On the part of the club I would like to say many thanks to Bill McHale for his efforts in getting the docks to where they are today. It seems he is regularly putting in sixty hour weeks. He must be younger than me. Here s to great boating. -Jack Fleming, Rear Commodore eilcmhor@gmail.com Help plan the 2018 NBYC Calendar! Do you have an idea?
