Aloha,
Happy 4th of July! I hope you all
are taking advantage of the great weather and getting out on the water...I have,
and it's been great; in and out of the lagoon...It's been great seeing so many
of you down at the club. I've only a few things to pass along this month;
Chili Cook-off call for volunteers, fire works, and it's status quo for use of
the lagoon.
HELP, please step-up and ask your Vice
Commodore, Louis what you can do to help him with the Chili Cook-off coming up
the 9th of September this event will be here before you know it. Plan on
inviting your friends to the Cook-off, there will be lots of activities for
folks of all ages.
Each member /family will have up to ten admission tickets to share with family
and friends so mark your calendars and talk it up.
Iroquois Island
club doesn't allow fireworks -exploding and aerial types. This
restriction includes ILYC, as a tenant of their community we will observe the
restriction. So, please blow 'em up and shoot 'em high in your own
back yard, not at the club. Mahalo.
If you desire to use a small boat in
the lagoon, you may do so. Please ensure the keiki under 12 have a life
jacket on, it's the federal law – I couldn't find in my searching if Hawaii had adopted a
more restrictive measure. Don't venture out into the entrance or impede
the greyboat
traffic. I'm not sure what we can expect of the security patrol folks,
we'll wait and see, if they do visit be cordial. I've extended the offer for
the patrols to tie up at the T and frequent our club.

Thanks to all for your participation in the club's activities,
especially work days and the club sponsored festivities specifically, the
father's day cookout. The big day is getting closer and closer. Before
you know it September 9th will have come and gone and the 31st
annual great Chili Cook Off will be history. But, don't let that
stop you from volunteering your talents and being a part of this history in the
making. Although, some slots have already been assigned coordinators,
they may need members to help facilitate. For instance, Gary Sutton:
Entertainment, Marcus Reed: Bar\Beverages, Karen Banes: Lei Greeter and Joelle
DuBois: Swap Meet. This is just a small sample of what is needed so if
you have a pickup truck for hauling tables and chairs or the inflatable
bouncer, we could sure use your time and efforts. Also, on Friday September 8th
volunteers are needed to help set up as well as Sunday September 10th
volunteers are needed to clean up and transport tables, chairs and inflatable back
to their point of origin. Mahalo to everyone for keeping the facilities
clean and safe, see you at the club and see you on the water too.
Vice Commodore, Louis

Ahhhhh!
Life in our
little corner of paradise is starting to perk up. Heather and Brian threw
a great party that included sailing the widgeons around with Mike’s
catamaran/Father’s Day gift, we had two sailing races this month with five
boats each and there’s an exciting month ahead.
Let’s start
with our two races—the Inshore finished with Puff narrowly nipping Moonrunner,
followed by Jacare, Coconut Rhumb, and Sun Tui while the Offshore finished with
Puff, Jacare, Terra Moana, Moonrunner and the Dog House rounding out the fleet.
That means Coconut Rhumb has given up her lead in the point standings and
Puff is the boat to beat once again!
There’s been
a lot of talk about sailing to different areas around the island for the July 4
celebration. We’re thinking about taking Jacare and anchoring off of
Hickam to watch the festivities (I still have to find the anchor and some
line). If you’re not sure what you want to do, get with Tim, Mike or I
and we’ll give you lots of suggestions. August will bring the race to Kauai and I have a huge list of people that want to
participate. I think we may need a second boat as my weight limit for
racing is 1705 lbs. We’ll discuss that at the meeting next week.
We have an
inshore race scheduled for 15 July, scattering of Earl Reid’s ashes on 22 July,
and are trying a Sailing/ Fishing trip for 29 July. It should be a fast
month!

Thanks to all of the normal workday crowd, and many of our newest members, we had a relatively easy work day in June and the east pier is again fully functional. Come on down for the next workday on 8 July. The plan is to continue to add layers of bubble gum and bailing wire to the east pier, we will also add some additional anchors to the west pier and repair the bulging water line. Dock box update - I am still waiting on some additional estimates for dock boxes, one last call for anyone else interested in purchasing a dock box (for either pier), please send me an e-mail. If you sent me an e-mail already I have you on the list.

Aloha,
Happy Fourth of July - Independence Day - time
to reflect - time to pay your ILYC third quarter mooring fees! Yep, time
sure does fly when you have to pay out the big bucks.
Everyone should have received their bill
by email, if you have a slip but didn't get a bill, please let me know as soon
as possible. Payment must be received no later than 15 July in order
to use those hard earned work chits. Each chit is worth 25% off your
mooring fees and a maximum of two chits can be submitted.

Happy
Independents day!
For the 4th of July we’re planning an ice cream social. There will
be ice cream at the club with toppings and cones prior to the fireworks and
after. Rumor has it there will be some hot dogs, chips and dip, and beverages.
For the fireworks most of us are heading over to the beach to catch the big
ones at Hickam, Pearl Harbor and as long as
the weather is good, Schofield.
As normal we’ll provide the noon meal for the work day on the 8th of
July and something a little different this month, we’ll have some pu pu’s for
race day on the 29th of July. The club will provide BBQ chicken
parts, salads, and chips, oh yea, beverages.
Aloha

Well it’s that time of the
year…new member time, lots of new faces around the club, and this is a very
good thing. I for one want to extend a
hearty welcome to all of our new members and invite you all to come down to the
club on the weekends to join the sailing crew for our “skills challenges” (aka
races) or just come out for a daysail. I
had two new members aboard Puff for the June InShore race. If you’re unfamiliar with either the channel
to and from Pearl Harbor, or the harbor
itself, there are plenty of “old salts” in the club that would be happy to take
you for a ride on their boat, or ride with you on yours to get you familiar
with the hazards and dangers of our area.
And while I’m talking about new members, don’t forget to talk up the
club to your friends, neighbors and co-workers, there are still empty slips on
our docks, and lots of room for mooring balls.
New members are the life blood of this club, we always need new members
to join our ranks.
The Ditty Bag here in The Arrow
is doing good business, there are at least two items that sold since last
month’s edition and thus are missing this month and I can attest that one of
those items sold solely because it was advertised here (and only here) in The
Arrow’s Ditty Bag section. Keep giving
me ads for both your boating and non-boating items you want to sell. And check out the ads to see if there just
happens to be an item you can’t live without…
As always I’m looking for
participation from all of the club’s members, I’d like to see articles about
your boating experiences, any tips you can share on boating maintenance,
skills, or pretty much anything nautical…this newsletter is a grab bag of
information. If you’ve got something to
pass on to the other members of the club, please contact me and I’ll work with
you to get your information into The Arrow.
This is our club newsletter and we all get to participate in it’s
creation.
For those of you that didn’t
get to make it down to the club for our Saturday Father’s Day celebration, well
you missed out on our new Activities Director’s feast. Willie definitely stepped up to the plate and
knocked another one out of the park. And
the cookie monster was out in force this time too…ummm snicker doodles…if you
don’t make it down to this type of club event you are just missing out on one
of the great benefits of being a member of ILYC. Thank You Willie and everyone who brought
food and friendship to the party. Be
sure to check out the calendar here in The Arrow for the next ILYC Party.
Speaking of the Calendar,
please note that a couple of regularly or previously scheduled events have had
to change their dates…July’s OffShore Sailing race will be held on Saturday the
29th (not Saturday the 22nd) in conjunction with the July Fishing
Tournament which will now also be held on Saturday the 29th (not the
22nd). Saturday July 22nd
has been reserved for scattering the ashes and a memorial for longtime member
of ILYC, Earl Reid.

With the excellent food by Chef Willy, the
sail races, and fishing events, I don’t see why we don’t have more members and
our slips filled. The chili cook off is a good time to invite potential members
down to showcase our organization.
Racing is fun again for me after a long
layoff and a minor incident in my first race back in the fleet. Years ago,
before Sun T’ui, I had a Cal 20 and did quite well racing. I wish the Catalina
22’s as well as other boats would join the racing fleet. We even used to have a
Catalina 22 bunch that conducted their own racing class events as well as
competing in the club open races.
Come
on out skippers you’re missing some fun.
