COMMODORE’S LOG C
hapter 2 – Cannon Fire punctuates Commodore’s Ball. Yes, much fun, frivolity and honor were bestowed at this year’s Commodore’s Ball orchestrated by Matt and Laura Bryant. The receiving line received, the shrimp boat (Opti) sailed again, the Vodka luged (is that a word?), the ballroom danced, 15 Past Commodores and spouses presented and perfectly timed cannon fire marked the changing of the guard. Had I been racing, I would have been over the line a bit early, but who was counting. Thank you to the Club staff for another great event and thank you to the sold-out, distinguished crowd that attended. To see a 105-year old Club shine like new with a large number of younger members in attendance, while respecting its history, is a very healthy sign. Please pencil this in for next year. And while you are penciling, add the next morning’s Blessing of the Fleet that our Fleet Captain Angela Kowalik successfully directed, while the rest of us on the dock sipped coffee, agonized over the impeding chilly weather and passed the hat for a pair of socks for Vice C Richard Winning. The Club successfully hosted the Snipe National Masters Regatta and the inaugural ISSA High School Keelboat Invitational was sailed for the Mendelblatt Trophy in the Club Sonars this past month (results not in at press deadline). Thank you to our Junior Sailing Committee and Todd Fedyszyn for cultivating and conducting this event. Our antique car and boat enthusiasts led by Board Member Bill Waters once again produced the Car Show in South Straub Park. Thanks to all of the Club volunteers and Club employees, many of whom were back at their posts early Sunday after a long day with the Commodore’s Ball the prior evening. We had a Kids’ Fishing Tournament at Snell Isle (thanks Nate) and some folks built gingerbread houses at the Main Club…early plans were revealed for a gingerbread condominium next year, but the sticky buns complained that the proposed height of the gingerbread blocked their waterfront view. Fortunately, the gingerbread man

explained that it wouldn’t be just another cookie cutter design and it was all settled in 15 minutes at 300 degrees. Phew… In what I consider a 2014 hat trick for the Club in terms of management (our new GM and the vastly improved food being the others), our new Chef Joseph now has a full month behind him, including navigating through the C Ball. He has been trying to meet as many members as possible, while filtering and evaluating our Club culture. I personally have seen some clever and tasty menu changes, but my own mission is to assure our members and guests that their service is and will be prompt and professional. I have mentioned for several years that we can be a victim of our own mission to have you visit the Club often. If you attend the same place often enough, even your own kitchen, you gather enough data that you become critical of greater and greater detail. It’s human nature. Our challenge as a Club is to provide variety and stability/comfort at the same time and to always do it promptly and professionally. Please know that the GM, the Officers and the Board will keep an eye on such things and will toss the challenge flag on your behalf when needed so as to keep you and your guests in the game and out of the fray. Don’t miss the Salties’ annual Christmas Boutique on December 2. And the holidays are coming, so we hope you will all visit the Club to at least see the decorations. Please come by and bring your prospective new members. And please consider Intermediate and Legacy Membership opportunities as a meaningful and economical way to help other family members join the Club. - Harvey Ford

Parking The 2015 Parking Decals were mailed in the middle of November, so everyone should have them now. Please be sure that you have placed them on your cars as the former decals are no longer valid. Just a few reminders in regard to the parking policy: • Parking Decals are to be placed on the back side of the rear view mirror. • In the event that you are in need of an additional decal: ° A max of 3 decals total per membership is allowed with proper documentation. ° Vehicle registrations or insurance cards in the member’s name for EACH vehicle owned must be presented in order to receive an additional decal. ° If a member has more than 3 cars, and is driving a car without a decal, your membership card will be accepted. ° Should you purchase a new vehicle: please remove the decal from your former car and place it on your new vehicle ° In the event that the decal is damaged in the process, please return the old decal in and exchange for a new one. Our goal is to assure available parking for our members and, unfortunately, in the past there have been some liberties taken with the decals. It has been our policy to accommodate all members, regardless of the number vehicles, but due to increased usage of the garage, we must limit the number of decals issued. We feel this is a fair procedure and is in the best interest of the Club as a whole. Decals are no longer handled through the Membership Office. With the proper paperwork, an additional decal may be obtained through Maria DeBord – 727-892-6886 or spyc-payables@tampabay.rr.com.

SPYC’s Juniors Win 2 High School National Championships! by Todd Fedyszyn Youth Sailing Director
S
PYC Junior Sailors Nic Baird and Patrick Shanahan qualified to represent Shorecrest HS and SPYC at the 2014 Interscholastic Sailing Association Single-handed National Championships over Halloween weekend in Bellingham Washington. Sailing in the Laser Radial, Nic dominated the 18-boat fleet, winning the event by 12 points over his nearest competitor. Patrick, sailing in the laser full rig, won his division by 18 points. By winning both divisions, Shorecrest/St Pete YC is the first team ever to have won both divisions at this prestigious championship since it was first sailed in the 1970’s. Earlier in October, both Nic and Patrick, along with brothers Kyle and Josh Dochoda competed in the first ever High School Keelboat qualifier for the National Keelboat Challenge. The four SPYC sailors dominated the competition winning the majority of the races and qualifying the team for the National Regatta in late November. Liam and Blaire McCarthy along with George Scribano and

Also sailing in the Laser Radial were Hannah Steadman, Emily Wright, Mo Bereday, Elizabeth Shanahan, Patrick Shanahan, Grant Boicheff and Nevin Avila. Sailing in the Club 420 fleet, brothers Josh and Kyle Dochoda sailed a strong regatta placing 3rd overall. The Opti RWB team was also well represented with 10 sailors competing in the 120-boat fleet. Blaire McCarthy was our top finisher overall placing 18th overall and 8th in red fleet. SPYC White fleets put 1 a strong performance with Ethan Danielson finishing 4th overall
and Bella Shakespeare finishing 8th. Also competing for SPYC were Emma Shakespeare, Will Fox, Watt Icely, Pearson Payne, Sam Lindsay, Anika Boicheff and Heather Kerns.

Cruising Fleet
by Angela Kowalik, Fleet Captain
Seas and Greetings…
I
t was another amazing Commodore’s Ball Weekend in November. The Fleet was at our own downtown docks for the entire weekend to enjoy all the activities there were to offer at the club and around the downtown area. Friday, we had docktails about our vessel Marquesa, then enjoyed an evening walk into town for dinner. Saturday we celebrated at the Commodore’s Ball. On Sunday we participated in the historic tradition of the Blessing of the Fleet. The Flag Officers (Commodore Harvey Ford, Vice Commodore Richard Winning, and Rear Commodore Robert Birkenstock) and Past Commodore Bruce Watters, officiated over the blessing of 24 boats this year (including 5 at the docks)!! Now those boaters and their vessels will have tight lines, calm and following seas, full sails, shining tackle, full tanks and engines that work (along with many other sea worthy blessings). Many thanks to each of you who participated in this historic traditional event, and a special thanks go to Larry and Joy Wissing aboard Patient Wader for organizing the boats that day and keeping things moving. After the Blessing, many enjoyed the Jazz Brunch and the Car Show in the park (where our own Randy & Vicki Stacy displayed their cars).
Our last cruise was in mid-October when the SPYC Cruising Group traveled to the Bradenton Yacht Club for the weekend of October 17 -19. Those making the trip by boat were: Roy & Jeannie Chapman on Blue Eyes, Ed & Isabel Hanna on Isabella, Kent & Marcia Larson on The Final One, Barbara & Heber Weller on Clifton, and Angela & Brian Kowalik (along with his parents) on Marquesa. Richard & Judi Phagan joined us by Iron Dinghy on Friday when we had dinner in the club. Saturday boaters enjoyed the area by taking a long walk to Emerson Point, or venturing out in a kayak or dinghy for a low profile tour of the area, and some of us went for a swim in the heated pool. That evening we had our usual docktails aboard Blue Eyes. Our plans for casual Saturday dinner in the Tiki Hut were quickly changed when the no-see-ums convinced us to eat inside in the lounge instead. It was another relaxing boating weekend, thank you all for making the trip.
Please call our Sailing Secretary Phyllis to sign-up for our activities, cruise and/or luncheon reservations at 727-892-6893 or email her at sailingsecretary@spyc.org. Looking forward to seeing you on the water… - Angela Kowalik, Fleet Captain

ctober brought perfect weather for golf with some of our Snowbirds returning to enjoy our outings. On Thursday, October 23, we played a new venue for the Golf Group. It was Fox Hollow Golf Club in Trinity. The course was a real challenge and all who played would like to return for another round. The winning team with a 68 was, Amory Sanders, John Arsenault, Paul Dziubek and Nancy Strite. Second place went to David Bertauski, Joe Mansir, Barbara Casey and Joe Hartman, and third was Jack Howard, Susan Arsenault, Robert Weir and Bob Weingartner. Close to the Pin prizes went to Gene Strite, Paul Dziubek , Emmett Coe and Joe Hartman. We all relaxed with a great lunch in the clubhouse.

Our speaker for the November meeting was our yearly favorite, Terry Decker, the Golf Pro at St. Pete CC, where he has been for 20 years. Terry always enlightens the group with his wit and expertise. He also provides golf clinics twice a year for many of our members. This evening Terry talked about how to enjoy practicing. Our fabulous Christmas Party will be held in December in lieu of our regular meeting.

Broad Reachers by Ginny Daniels
O
n November 8th, the Broad Reachers held the 43rd Annual Commodore Lucas Invitational Pram Regatta! For the second year in a row, the Lucas Cup had to be sailed on the alternate date, due to weather conditions. The 2014 Trophy was captured by Ann Carroll of the Bitter Ends, Venice Yacht Club. Second place was Holly Dowling of the Dunedin Windlasses, followed by Salty Sister Tove Kullman in third place. Many thanks and appreciation to the boat handlers who helped the 11 sailors change boats after each of the six races. George Kullman and Doug Clapp handled the race committee duties on the water, until the engine on the SPYC committee boat gave out. At the end of racing, the marks had to be picked up by the sailors. After a grueling morning of light shifty winds, the sailors, helpers and Race Committee retired to our PAG clubhouse for a delightful lunch. The Lucas Trophies were presented to the winners by Alice Lucas & David Fagen, daughter-in-law and nephew of founder Past Commodore John Lucas. Also due to weather conditions our “fun” sail to Shell Key was postponed twice as was our Halloween Race. But we did manage a sail around Bird Key and did some “sightseeing” up and down the canals.
Joanne Simmons and Anne O’Dell began our FWSA Interclub season sailing races hosted by the Salty Sisters and the Clearwater Bow Chasers. As October begins the Interclub season, we look forward to sailing and visiting other clubs in the upcoming months. The “Broad Reachers Saturday Sailing” sign brought a lot of interest to our table at the Member Appreciation Day at the downtown club. The girls put together a wonderful display table and several new potential Broads expressed their desire to sail with us. Our upcoming events include our “Beginning of the Year” party held on November 15th at the home of Captain Joanne Simmons and her husband George on November 15th. Also we will be having our annual Christmas Party lunch and Chinese Auction on December 13th at PAG.

Nov.
Employee Of The Month
W
illiam Archer has won the distinction of employee of the month for November. William has been with SPYC since September 2005 working as a banquet steward. William is in the back of the house getting all supplies necessary for all banquet events. And though he works behind the scenes, without his efforts many parties would not run properly and it would be noticeable to anyone attending a party at the Yacht Club. He is a hard worker and a good man. Congratulations William, keep up the excellent work!!
