Anacapa Yacht Club Mainsheet Volume 2012 Issue 12 December Commodores Report: BILL BRAYTON I know it s completely cliché to say this but Where has the year gone? It seemed to go by so fast. Our club has enjoyed one if it s best years in a very long time. We had really great events and it because of your participation we were noticed throughout the harbor and the local community. When we asked you to show up, you did. When we asked you to participate with your boats, you did. When we planned cruises, you cruised. It is this type of participation that prospective members look at and say I want to be a part of that organization. Late last year I challenged Mike Taylor to grow the membership and he certainly did. Our club s membership is on the rise while other clubs are struggling. My email list for the weekly update mailing has grown to seventy four! The reason for this of course is you the membership. You folks are responsible for making AYC the coolest yacht club in the harbor. I have been asked by many if I am glad to be done with my year as Commodore and my answer is no. This really surprises many folks. I have had such a wonderful time doing this I UalmostU hate to see it end. In the coming year I am looking forward to a few things that I have missed this year and to repeating a few things that happened this year. I am looking forward to more island cruises, to a great calendar of racing events and to the special events we have throughout the year. I will be organizing the Anacapa Yacht Club Disabled Veterans Sail Day again this coming year. I think with an early start on the planning it will be bigger and better than last year. I plan on having more veterans, more boats, more giveaways and most importantly more fun. Thanks to all of you who have worked so hard for such a great yacht club. We could not have done all the great stuff we did without being such a great WE. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! Sea you at the club or out on the water. Bill Brayton Commodore
P P with Vice Commodores Report: MIKE TAYLOR The Holiday season is upon us and November is all but gone. Our dinners were very well attended as usual. nd Elizabeth Testa treated us to dinner on November 2P pulled pork sandwiches with salads and pie. It was also our general meeting where the new board was approved. th Michael and Donna Lorenzen hosted dinner on November 10P P. Dinner was roasted chicken with rice, veggies and sweet potatoes. th Doug Fajardo performed his annual Thanksgiving Day feast on November 16P P. There was lots of turkey for everyone to bring home as well. Next is our annual Christmas potluck on December 1P P. This is also the White Elephant gift exchange. Don t miss this as it lots of fun. th On December 8P the annual Parade of Lights for CI Harbor takes place. AYC normally hosts a potluck for this event, but because we do not have a view from the club, we will have the bar open after the parade. th On December 14P P we have scheduled the Pirate Harbor cruiser. This is normally referred to as our Dingy Party If we get at least 20 people it will be $10 per head. We can bring food and drink on the boat with us, and they will tour us for an hour to see the lights around the harbor and back bay while being warm and cozy. We catch the boat directly down from the club at the dock. The club will be open at 6PM and the cruise will start at 7PM. Your response will be requested in an upcoming mid-week update. th, Please update your calendars for January 19P P2013 for the Commodores ball. Invites are going out soon. It is going to be held at our neighbor club PCYC in their dining room and we will have entertainment from one of our favorite local bands The Tasty Thieves Check out their website: HTUhttp://www.tastythieves.com/UT I want to take this time to introduce again and congratulate our new board for 2013.

A note from the Editor: Cherri Taylor It is the time of year when most of us feel the need to reflect on our blessings and challenges while looking forward to a new year. 2012 has presented me with plenty of both, but I can say with complete confidence my blessings far outweighed my challenges, and being part of our club and community was a large part of that. Having somewhere to be and friends to share time with is an invaluable gift that I do not take for granted. I look forward to continuing to act as your Editor at Large for 2013 and welcome all content from our members. Please feel free to e mail me anytime with pictures or stories you would like to share.
