Aloha,
TRANSPAC racers are underway, and the CCO is coming up fast, so look to
our event coordinators to see what you can do to join us for a great time. Our
lease has been extended and there is reason to be mindful of non-members at the
club. Oh, and we are getting our sink back in the galley.
With all that’s happening with your club in the next two months, check
the newsletter schedule and come on down. TRANSPAC has started and by the time
you read this Skylark will have started and be on their way, looking forward to
meeting ya’ll at the post race receiving party we are hosting down at the Ala
Wai. Al and Lori need your help on this one, please step up, sign up, and
do a little as there are lot’s of small parts to pull together, it’s sure to be
a memorable event. Louis and Sue are working hard getting the CCO details
completed, check with Sue to get your complementary tickets, up to 10 per
family, and at the same time let her know what you can do for an hour or so
before, after, or during the event. Throwing a party for 300 folks is best when
hosted by us all rather than a few.
Our landlord has opted to exercise the six month extension provided for
in our lease, so we will renew the lease in December. I’ll report more on
the lease in future months as we negotiate for a term greater than 2 years and
a provision to include the cost of the new east pier should the landlord decide
to bring in a manager.
One of our members has experienced what appears to be theft of personal
belongings from their boat and contamination of fuel. It goes without
saying this is criminal and moreover can result in someone getting hurt or
dying, lost at sea. Going off-shore in Hawaiian waters with contaminated
fuel, well you know what could happen; none of which would be desirable.
I request of each of you to approach folks in the club and introduce yourself,
meet the new and old members, and those that shouldn’t be on club grounds, if
would you get a name and reason for their visit. You can escort /sponsor
these folks after they sign in or you can ask them to leave. If it
doesn’t feel right please contact a board member to ensure we know of anyone
frequenting the club that doesn’t belong. We are our own best deterrent
to crime and protecting each others personal property. This is serious, I need
your help.
Though at first we thought it impossible, our landlord has found a way
to pipe the sink drain, so expect to see a few folks in the club to re-install
the sink in the galley. Oh, and we have a new on site manager, his name is
Duane. Introduce yourself if you see him. He has a key and will frequent
the property and provide access for the work crew to plumb the sink.
On a lighter note, the slips are nearly full. The club is looking great,
don’t forget to water the lawn a bit in the evening, this is a club effort.
Just like cleaning up after yourself, and keeping the place clean, neat and
safe. I’ll be out of pocket for a couple of weeks, I’m going to go see
what the great nanook does during the summer, probably even stay up all
night. Good luck fishing in the upcoming tournament!

Just a reminder to
everyone - mark your calendars for the Chili Cook-Off on Saturday, September 8th.
Every year, it is
our intent to have the best and most successful cook-off ever. And, by
success we don't necessarily mean to make a profit. However, we would like to
break even and not go in the "red". Therefore, we need your
participate in every aspect of this organization in order for us to be a
success at any thing we do
ILYC members are
entitled to free tickets for you and your friends. Tickets for the event are
available from Sue Fuller fuller@omsoft.com. Please email, call (255-7976) or come down at
sunsets, on work days, or general meetings to get your tickets and sign up to
volunteer. Help is needed for tent and table set-up, food and beer service,
tear-down, etc.
So, come on down to
the club and place your "X" in whatever you think you would be happy
to help with. If you need any further information give me a phone call at
689-8202 or e-mail me at louisrogers@hawaii.rr.com and let me know what your interests
are.
Also, check out the
web site for information on how to enter, the schedule of the day’s events, and
more! http://www.ussailing.net/ilyc/ChiliCookoff.htm

The sign up sheet
for the July 28th fishing tournament is on the RC for Power bulletin board. The
entry fee is still $50 a boat. We have 4 entries so far!
Weigh in is at 1600.
Come on down to see and eat the winning fish.
Soda, Beer, and Ahi Sushi will be provided by RC for Power. Bring a pupu
and your appetites!!
The Ahi (tuna) are
out there! (Minus the big boy brought in July 9th.)
Thanks again to
Stuart and all the members who contributed to the new cleaning table for the
club.
Fish On!!

Great workday this
past Saturday, lots of members came out and quite a lot of clean-up was
accomplished around the club. Thank you all for your help and
cooperation. It takes all of us to keep up with the club and grounds.
One of the things
completed was the removal of unclaimed watercraft off of the boat rack.
All were removed and are laying by the fence. If these are not claimed by
the next workday in August, they will be disposed of. If we have removed
your item from the rack, you may return it by tagging it with your name.
Tags are available next to the phone. Any member wanting the unclaimed
items my tag them, but you cannot remove them until August.
Also a few of the lockers that were not marked with
names have had the locks cut off. If these lockers belong to you please
let me know. Those that have been cut are available for any members who
would like a locker. There are NO SHEDS available at this time.
August workday will be a busy time as we prepare the
club for the September Chili Cook-off. Please come out and support the
club and help to put the best looking club on Ohau open to our guests.
Have fun, good fishing or sailing and see you around
the club.

Paid Mooring Fees? If you are reading this item and wonder if you have paid yet
– got some bad news for you. The due
date was 16 July and if you haven’t paid the fees then save those work chits
for next quarter because I can’t honor them past the due date. On the other hand – if you have paid then you
have two more work days to earn work chits for the next quarter! Thanks to all of you that paid mooring fees
promptly.

So are you feeling the withdrawal pains yet? It’s been nearly weeks since your last
edition of The Arrow. This month’s deferred meeting night, due to
the 4th of July holiday has meant The Arrow too was deferred for over a week. But never fear, we are back and with lots and
lots of club news and rants.
Please check out the calendar and if you can help out with TRANSPAC
there are still lots and lots of volunteer opportunities just waiting for right
person to step up and have some fun…
I’ve included a notice I found about DLNR’s intentions to create an
artificial reef south west of Pearl just off shore from where the new Ocean
Point marina is under construction. As
far as I can tell this could be a real boon for fishing and or scuba diving…I
think. If you know of items of interest
happen in, around or to our island waters please share that information with
me, and I in turn will share it with all club members.

Aloha and mahalo for a great month of
ILYC gatherings. We had a great 4th of July BBQ many great unannounced Fish
grills and some good poker nights. Their are no more sponsored party's for ILYC
the rest of July, but we do have a Fishing event on the 28th, so hopefully we
will have fresh fish to eat. August brings the poker tournament, so get online
and practice up or join one of our many "pick-up" games. Thanks to
all for the outpouring of support at this month's meeting and increasing
the Activities budget. See you all soon out on the water or sitting in the club
area having a cool beverage. Keep pitching in to help keep the club clean,
trash emptied and dogs leashed. Aloha

We had a
potential new member at the meeting, Wesley Moore, and our little corner of
paradise will be unofficially full again when he joins. This puts us at just over 40% active duty but
don't get too nervous yet. If we have
other active duty members requesting slips, we may be able to move some boats
around to keep active boats in slips.
We have
several permits that are expiring in July and August. Please look at the list below, make sure you
get your paperwork together and have port ops make an extra copy of your permit
for me! Permits expiring are: Lobo and
Hook Driver 31 July; Po-po and Dan's Cal 2-27 on 31 Aug.
There
was also one serious mishap with one of our powerboats. The gas cap was missing off the boat and the
fuel appeared to be contaminated. This
incident is not only costly but very dangerous as the boat lost power at sea
and fortunately limped back home. Please keep an eye out for anyone who doesn't
belong in the club.
Thanks for all your help,
Tony Snodgrass
