Commodore’s Notes
THREE, TWO, ONE,
SPLASHDOWN!
If your boat is not already launched, it
should be soon. Winter is finally behind
us and the Spring weather is getting better, so that
means it’s boating time again. Leslie and I look
forward to this time of year much more than the fall
when boating season comes to an end.
Hopefully, the fuel prices will not put too much
of a kink in your plans for boating this season, because
Fleet Captain Joe Lynch has some great cruises
planned this year.
Our compliments to Rear Commodore Terry See
(and Brenda of course!) for a great Snowflake
Luncheon. We are now looking forward to our annual
Chili dinner.
Be sure to stop by the Ship’s Store at all land
events to purchase what Vice Commodore Glenn
Davis has available.
Please take note of the special section in this
newsletter requesting your help. Our Club needs your
help in order to hold several special events..
As always, if you have any questions or suggestions
for the Club, please feel free to reach out to any of the
Board of Governors.
Commodore Craig Solt
Wanna Help?
The Club needs a few members to organize and
help with a few activities and committees for the
2011 season:
• We need a person to form and lead a membership
committee to help spread the word about the Club in
the local marina area.
• We would like to repeat last year’s successful
Marina Mixers at Skipjack, Duffy Creek, and Sassafras Harbor marinas. Those events helped recruit
several new SRYC members. The Board has alloted
funds for incidental supplies, so no personal expense
is required. We have a lead for Sassafras Harbor
Marina and are working on a lead for Skipjack. We
still need a lead for Duffy Creek along with helpers
for all three.
• We would also like to have a fun, safe charity event
of some type to replace the dinghy poker run, along
with people to run the event. Have a good idea? Let’s
hear it.
Without your support, these activities will not be
held. See Craig, Glenn, Terry, or Joe at the Chili Dinner,
or send them an email if you’d like to help out. We
will also have sign-up sheets available at the dinner.

Vice Commodore’s Notes
I would like to take this opportunity to
express the appreciation of the Ship’s
Store by thanking all those who made
purchases at our Snowflake Luncheon
this year. The items have arrived for
those members who placed orders at the luncheon.
Those orders that have not been delivered or picked
up from me already, will be available at the Chili
Dinner. If you are unable to attend Chili Dinner, and
have not received your order, please contact me so
we can arrange to have the items shipped to you at a
nominal fee.
The Ship’s Store will be open for business at the
Sassafras Harbor Marina Activities Center during the
Chili Dinner. The store has been restocked with those
items that were purchased at the Snowflake Luncheon,
so please come with the thought of “dress to impress”
in your new SRYC attire. Please remember that the
Ship’s Store is not equipped to accept credit or debit
cards, so please be prepared to handle all of your
Ship’s Store transactions in cash.
We are in the process of updating the SRYC Ship’s
Store website. Go to www.sasryc.org and click on the
Ship’s Store link. Check for updates in the near future
and contact me if there may be an item that you would
like to purchase. Please note that the Ship’s Store on
the website is for information only, orders cannot be
placed on-line. However, items may be purchased at
anytime, not just during Club events, by contacting
me directly by email or phone.
We look forward to seeing you on the water and
about the Chesapeake Bay area this season all “decked
out” in your new SRYC attire. Let’s show the pride
that we have for the Sassafras River Yacht Club as we
are out and about this 2011 boating season.

Rear Commodore’s Notes
Spring is bound to happen sooner or
later; I keep thinking the weather will
start to warm up. Anyhow, we had a
really good time at the Snowflake
Luncheon. I hope all of you that came
enjoyed it as much as I did. What a great turnout we
had! Chili Dinner is right around the corner. I am
looking forward to getting together with everyone
again.
I want to say thanks to all of you who lent a hand
at the Snowflake Luncheon. We couldn’t have these
functions without the help of all the volunteers.
Speaking of volunteers, I want to remind everyone
that the sign-up sheets will be at the Chili dinner
waiting to be filled.
Opening Day is just around the corner. We will
need your donations for the Basket of Cheer. For those
of you coming to the Chili Dinner, please bring them
with you. For those unable to attend, you can drop off
your donation at my boat, See Crews, at Sassafras
Harbor slip D-7, or at Margaret and Bob Clements’
boat, Kentucky Lady III, at Sassafras Harbor slip E-20.
See you at Chili Dinner,
Terry

Secretary’s Notes
Shakedown Cruise (n.): A limited sea
excursion for the purpose of testing all
the working equipment of a ship before
putting the vessel in service.
Now that we have the official definition, are you
ready to weigh anchor and get underway into SPRING?
We are just a few weeks from our shakedown cruise
to the Chesapeake Inn & Marina. The boat yards have
been buzzing with maintenance activities and boats
are quickly taking up residence in slips for the season.
I am looking forward to our first cruise and traveling
with you through our exciting schedule.
The sign-up for cruises this season has been solid
with 60% of available slips being booked. The majority
of trips are well over 50% in reservations. If you have
not booked your cruises, we still have room. If you
are interested in any cruise, please let me know as
soon as possible; I am making the final confirmations
to the marinas. For members who have sent your
cruise selections, I will be sending out your confirmations shortly. You can expect to be notified 30 days
prior to each cruise that final payment is due.
I would like to again thank my cruise team for the
outstanding job putting this season’s destination schedule together. Helena and I appreciate all the time and
effort you have put into getting this done for the Club.
Safe seas,
Joe Lynch

Happy Spring everyone! If you are not
already in the water, it won’t be long
now. As in years past, I would like to
encourage everyone to submit a picture
of you and your family on your boat for
posting on the members’ page of the website. If you
are a new member, it is a great way for other members
to recognize you. And if you have upgraded, why not
show off your new ‘Pride n’ Joy.’ (Maura and I will
be updating our picture very soon.) And while on the
subject of pictures, please take pictures at our events
and send them to me to post and share on our website.
Hope to see everyone soon!
Warm Regards,

Sassy Says....
Watch out Linwood, another party boat is coming
to E-Dock. Rumor has it, there will be a camper on
the swim platform of Toddie Time, in the hopes of
keeping the wine glass with lifetime refills topped
off. Hope you have a lot of wine, Donna. Just so
everyone knows, E Dock at Sassafras Harbor is the
designated party dock for 2011. And then, who can
forget the sarong? It looked so good on you John,
please bring it on Summer Cruise.
Glen and Connie introduced several new items in
the Ship’s Store this year, with a fleece jacket popular
enough to cause people to hide it from each other.
Daryl and Jacqui have changed roles for 2011.
Jacqui will be the Ship’s Store’s best and most
frequent customer. Daryl will have to be satisfied
with the red button.
It’s time for Craig and Leslie to go out and get a
new car. Perhaps a sporty little two seater; no need for
storage space anymore. This season, you can show up at
club events without a carload of club stuff.
Pat Amato was last seen on the casino floor
muttering something like, “Daddy needs a new chart
plotter.” Wonder how that worked out? Win or lose, I
hope it was fun.
See you all at the Chili Dinner,
Sassy

It was great to see all the smiling faces at
the Snowflake Luncheon, especially John
Boyer’s. Haven’t seen his face in a while.
Some members have never seen it.
The afternoon began with an invocation by Ernie
Inmon, including a special request for reasonable fuel
prices. We all hope that request will be granted.
Terry and Brenda did an excellent job with the
decorations for the event, and Gus supplied a brand
new SRYC sign. Everything looked great, although a
few people were having way too much fun with the
Martha Stewart snowflake maker. They may need to
get out a little more.
Gary Sorrell’s name tag was interesting. Gary, is
Offshore Assount a boat name change with a hidden
meaning or were you just trying to see if anyone was
paying attention?
Someone was seen snitching M & M’s at the
front door. I won’t mention names; Bob and Jim
already know who they are.
The door prizes were in abundant supply and
offered a lot of fun. The Lynch’s scored a total of
twelve times, a new Snowflake record. The Smith’s
followed with six and the Skully’s came in at four.
Even Molly was a winner. Thanks Helena! There
were a few memorable favorites. Maura’s glasses and
Captain Morgan on two consecutive tickets caught
everyone’s attention. You gonna share that?
All Astern Full!
