Pam and I hope that it didn’t go as fast for you. Thank you to all the members who attended the General Membership meeting on July 18 th to vote on the by-law change. Mel’s Gourmet cruise will be over by now. Hope that you were able to join in the socializing of MYC members and good food. Thank you to Mel and Sharan and his helpers for a nice evening. So, what is happening at MYC in August-the 1st is Happy Hour and meeting and greeting new members, the 2nd is the Kid’s Fishing Derby (good luck to everyone), and then on Sunday, the 3rd the Auxiliary is having bingo by the pool. What a busy weekend! Then, August the 10th the club is sponsoring an Hawaiian Luau with food, music and Hula dancing. Looking ahead, if you are interested in a New Years Eve Party at MYC, the Commodores would like to hear from you and need a commitment from you before they can begin planning. In closing enjoy August whatever your plans. Commodore Emory Quaskey Maryland Yacht Club MYC Kedge Anchor Page 4 August 2014 Vice Commodore From the Vice Commodore Wow, time is flying by! It seems like it was spring just a minute ago and now it’s almost time to send the kids back to school. Whirling Dervish has had an uneventful summer. After finishing with the openings this year I found that I need to have anew cutlass bearing installed. For a full keel sailboat that means a haul out and the bearing is in the hull so a lot of work. This will be a winter project for me. I want to thank all of the members that came out for the general membership meeting in July. It was good to have a constructive meeting. Also a big thank you goes out to the Junior Sail Camp team. What a wonderful job these volunteers do for the club each year! Each year we introduce kids to sailing and boat handling at MYC and help hone their skills on the water. MYC is doing its part in raising the next generation of boaters to be safe and skillful masters of their vessels. Also, I would like to know if there is anyone interested and having a youth sports program at MYC and would be willing to volunteer. By sports I mean sailing and getting into a couple of races at other clubs. If you are please contact me at [email protected] or see me around the club. Of course one of our big events every year is Mel’s Cruise. Unfortunately we could not make it this year as we like to do but I am sure everyone had a great time! This is one of the great unifying events of Maryland Yacht Club and what makes us the best club on the Bay. Remember, if you have been having a good time at MYC this year let everyone know! I look forward to seeing you all around MYC! V/C Paul MYC Kedge Anchor Page 5 August 2014 A Look To the Rear Message from the Rear It’s the end of the July and boating is now in full swing. The pool is always filled now with laughter and conversation. Laughter emitting from the docks and water. as friends are doing what we all came here for, boating and just enjoying ourselves Notice the pictures strewn throughout the Kedge of members just having fun and all of them smiling. Princess Dee Dee Dolan Directors Basin Director Greg Pabst Fuel Dock Dave Itzel Buildings and Grounds Greg Franklin Clubhouse and Food P/HC Ken Valentine Mel has had his great traditional dinner cruise in Rock Hall and many members attended ( We missed as Donna had to tend to the newborn babies at work). Mel has done this for many years and should be thanked and congratulated for organizing and executing this great event for all members. Thanks Mel and Sharan. Marketing and Public Relations P/C Warren Robinson Greg has been working hard on sprucing up the physical parts of the club and we are thankful for the obvious improvements. We are lucky to have such a dedicated H&G Director. Show your appreciation by volunteering to work for an afternoon on one of his many projects. Staff Jim Healy has volunteered to work on our persistent wi-fi issues. Special thanks also to Vickie Dulko for organizing the great July 4th get together ( who knew you could see fireworks from 10 places all at once from the top of the hill) and also for Vickie stepping up to take the leadership of Program Director. She needs help on her committee. New Years Eve– As of now Donna and I have 20 couples who say they are willing to ante up for the deposit for the band for New Years Eve, In order for us to make this happen and reserve the band, Program Director Vickie Dulko General Manager Carole Suser Office Manager Nadine McEnaney Executive Chef Colin Suser Maintenance Manager Ernie Jenkins MYC Kedge Anchor Page 6 August 2014 we will need to get at least 60 people in order to make this happen. This was a great tradition when we joined the club, To be able to have New Years Eve in our club with our friends and see them once boating season wound down was a great time. There will be food stations set out all over the Clubhouse including a seafood, international, carved beef and turkey, gourmet pasta, killer hors devours and a decadent surprise dessert table. This allows lots of mingling and reveling. You may invite guests also. Your friends are our friends. The dress is semi formal. We will limit the turnout to 120 so make you declaration ASAP before we fill up. Lastly you will notice Haleakula gone from its home here at MYC as of August 14 for 3 weeks as we travel on our pilgrimage to the Long Island Sound and points north. Our stops include Cape May ( twice) as its my favorite restaurant town, Barnegat Light ( beautiful anchorage behind the lighthouse), Sandy Hook, past Lady Liberty in the Harbor, the eye catching ride up the East River beside Manhattan ( and Rikers) under 7 famous bridges like the Brooklyn, Manhattan and Whitestone and out into the Sound under the Throgs Neck out past Execution Rocks. . Then we go to Port Washington, Milford ( a first for us), Fishers Island and concluding this year at Block Island before heading back stopping at Stonington and Northport as we come back down the Sound. . Each year we pick a few new stops, some old favorites, and an area to cruise in as its too much to do all at once and it keeps us returning. The towns are charming and the seafood is great. There is nothing like a true lobster roll on a split top hot dog bun, We have done parts of this with friends from here before and always try and entice and welcome any MYC members to join us for all or part of this trip every year starting in mid– August ( less crowds and fog). Think about that for your vacation next year and join us for all or part of the trip. Fair winds and calm seas, Aloha and Mahalo, R/C Dave Perlman [email protected] MYC Kedge Anchor Page 7 August 2014 From the Desk of the Secretary Just a very short note to let all our members know that a copy of the General Membership Meeting minutes is available in a blue binder located in the Clubhouse Boardroom. The binder is located next to the copier From the Yards The summer is here in full swing and so far this year the weather has been great on the weekends. I hope that everyone has had a chance to make use of at least some of these days this season. Don’t forget that we meet every Saturday after the third Friday for our Minivous. We meet at the pavilion at 9:00AM to pick our destination and all head out for a communal anchorage. Sunday, September 7th is the scheduled date for our Regatta this year, please note the change in date as that it previously had been scheduled on Saturday, the 6th. I pushed the date back one day to allow for greater participation. This is an informal race, where we sailors try to entice our Power Fleet brethren to join us as crew members. This is a great opportunity to get on the water with people with whom you might not normally have the chance to sail. Last year all participants had a great time, and win or lose, there is fun and stories to be had. We will meet after the event at the club house for awards, cocktails, and the obligatory excuses explaining why we did not win – and how the winner must have cheated! September also will be bringing us the anniversary celebration of our national anthem, the Star Spangled Banner. There are all kind of events planned in the Inner Harbor area from September 10th – 16th. Got to http://baltimore.org/campaign/star-spangledspectacular for more information. Additionally, we will have period re-enactors visiting MYC that week. They are expected to have a period vessel with them and may perform a beach landing on our grounds. Please watch for announcements from the club for more details. Good winds and safe sailing to everyone. Larry Korpanty MYC SFC MYC Kedge Anchor Page 8 August 2014 Auxiliary Barbara Corkhill– Auxiliary President We continue to work on the DJ Friday nights, our tentative date for the first one is August 8th, stop by on that Friday night and enjoy so some music and dancing. We have also put together our first “Beach Blanket Bingo” on August 3rd from 1:00pm to 4:00 pm at the pool. Be on the lookout for the CRAB FEAST news, this year it will be September 27th a flyer will be coming out soon to your email, so make plans to join us this year. We will have a DJ coming and a bigger variety of food on the menu. We will be posting the events on the board in the lobby so don’t forget to check out upcoming events. The Auxiliary is still looking for your recipes; we would like to ask the members to submit your favorite recipes for everyday meals or special boating recipes. We are working on an MYC Cookbook. Please send your recipes to me at [email protected], or drop them of at the club, It will be fun to see how many recipes we can collect. Give us a little background of where you got it. We are trying to be sure and meet all new members, if you are a new member and haven’t met us yet, please stop by and introduce yourself. We love having new members and want to be sure and welcome you! Most our members are always around on a Friday nights. New or Not we would love to have all members join the auxiliary. We meet the first Friday of each month, stop in and check us out, we have a great group and would love to have you join us. The NEW “SHIP’S STORE” is up and running Stop by the lobby and check out the order book or talk to an Auxiliary Member for more details and don’t forget to look in the showcases for clothing and jewelry available for sale.

On August 27th, any MYC sailboat is invited to participate in a pursuit-style race. Starting out in the river, but finishing right off our beach, the race is easily viewed from our hill, especially the exciting finish. We encourage MYC sailors to participate, and all members to spectate. We can help you get a PHRF rating for your boat. A trophy will be awarded for the winner of the spinnaker fleet and the non-spinnaker fleet. There will even be a new award called the “Blue Ribbon Award.” Memorializing last year’s last place finisher, the award will recognize the perseverance and determination it sometimes takes to complete the journey. Keep smiling GP.

We’ve had some fun activities happening here at MYC and more to come. Everyone who showed up for the movie night on Saturday July 12th had a fun time. The movie was “Overboard” and Chef Collin kept with the theme and went “overboard” with a great menu for us to enjoy. The Commodore has asked that I remind everyone about the new reciprocal agreement with the Engineer’s Club of Baltimore located at the Garrett Jacobs Mansion in Baltimore. Members of ESB can enjoy our club and we can enjoy there downtown club atmosphere of fine dining, and events, etc. Anyone who wishes more information may visit their website at www.esb.org. Please contact Nadine to make advance arrangements for your visit or dinner. The ESB has a dress code so please visit their site before your visit. Their dress code for summer is business casual- jacket not required until October 1st. They also have some fun activities in August from their newsletter: Saturday Morning Dance with Beginning Ballroom, Monthly Summer Crab Feast, Wine Society,contact me for further details as they also have a full calendar of events. The turnout was super for the July 4th Potluck which hosted by Vickie Dulko. We had a good old fashioned 4th of July picnic in the Pavilion. Vickie did such a great job and has volunteered to be our new Programs Director. If you have any fun ideas or would like to volunteer -Contact Vickie at [email protected]. This will be my last Kedge article and I am handing over the keys to Vickie. I will be on the Programs committee to continue to help with all the fun. MYC Kedge Anchor Page 12 August 2014 We have some fun and excitement coming up in August: In addition to the offerings provided by the Auxiliary, Programs is offering the annual Luau which is scheduled for August 10th. We had such a good time last year- we decided to do it again: Hula and fire dancers, Hawaiian music, luau food, all for a fun, relaxing Hawaiian experience. Check the News page for all the updated information. On August 23rd will be a total family fun day starting off with the Kids Fishing Derby, progressing to our first MYC Olympics which will be hosted by the Trivia Guru Mike Ricigliano. MYC Olympics will include such events as corn hole, ladder golf, trivia, games of skill and some other surprises. This will all take place in the Pavilion. We’ll be ending the day/evening with a campfire with s’mores. Look for our signs posted around the club announcing upcoming activities. If anyone would like to volunteer, donate prizes, etc. for the fishing derby or provide ideas, etc. Please contact Vickie or me. Looking to go to the Orioles game? I am trying to get a group together for an MYC Night at Camden Yards. Please support your club and attend any activities you can in order to get the most from your membership. We always for lots for you to do here at MYC and places throughout the area. Contact Anyone in Programs - No pressure- all fun! MYC Kedge Anchor Page 13 August 2014 From the Basin and Beyond– Greg Pabst—Basin Director Dinghy Rack Final Notice Any dinghy on any of the dingy racks without a current contract with the club office will be removed and stored by the club and disposed of in a way that benefits the club the most. We may make them available for purchase to the highest bidder by a MYC member at an auction to be held at a time to be announced after the second notice. , or donated to Living Classrooms or the Chesapeake Bay Maritime Museum in St. Michaels for a charity auction, maybe even handed to the US Navy for target practice, or simply chucked in the dumpster. MYC Kedge Anchor Page 14 August 2014 Building and Grounds Greg Franklin– Director Our summer projects are coming along and the club is looking better every day. The roof for the D pier electrical shed has been replaced and the stairs to D dock have been treated with sealant. The pump house roof is now being replaced and C dock electric shed will be next. Once the heat breaks I would like to paint the electrical sheds the same color scheme at the sail fleet building and the carrousel. If anyone would like to volunteer for this please contact me. I will be sending an e mail blast out for help in the days preceding painting day. I hope to see everyone down at the club and I will send out an email blast when we get ready to clear out some more of the brush from the top of the hill. If you have a project or defect to report please remember to fill out a work request and get it to Carol. Looking spiffy and shipshape MYC Kedge Anchor Page 15 August 2014 MYC MEMBERS We received notice of a wonderful opportunity to Go Boating. Attached, please find the boating schedule that our group has put together for the summer. We try to do two trips a month and each trip has a host. The host boat only coordinates calling the marina, making sure there are slips available. Each captain is responsible to call and make their own reservations if they are interested in the trip. The host boat will usually plan some activities or coordinate dinner reservations etc. If any MYC members decide they want to go, we will need to know to keep them on the email list for the selected trip. Please have the MYC members email Kimberly at [email protected] and she can make sure they are kept in the loop for their trip. If anyone is interested in joining us for the week long trip or part of that trip they will need to contact Kimberly ASAP.

Sail Fleet Mini-Vous– Worton Creek MYC Kedge Anchor Page 18 August 2014 MYC Basin Wi-FI Status There is one consistently recurring concern in every conversation I have about our club's wi -fi system: “sometimes it's great, and sometimes is awful!” I have volunteered to work with MYC Management and the club's outside IT contractor to find ways to achieve a more consistent, reliable wi-fi service here at MYC. Members should know that the equipment the BOG has installed here at MYC is state-of-the-art, high quality equipment and very much suitable for an installation like ours. So, what's the problem? Why the poor performance? All wi-fi systems are based on two-way radios. Desktop and laptop PCs, tablets, wi-fi capable cell phones and XBOX and Wii game consoles contain two-way wi-fi radios. These end-user devices attach to special-purpose computers called “routers” which relay a connection to the Internet. At MYC, there are two such routers, one on “B” Dock covering “A” and “B” and one on “C” Dock covering “C” and “D.” User devices will see the names of these connections as MYC-BASIN. However, just being connected to MYC-BASIN does not in itself assure access to the Internet. All radio-based systems are subject to interference from other nearby radio systems. In homes, for example, some wireless telephone and wireless security systems operate in the same radio frequency range as wi-fi systems, and can interfere with home wi-fi systems. The environment at MYC is far more complicated than a home, because there are many more routers and individual devices “in the mix.” Neighboring facilities can cause radio interference to each other. Resident and nearby anchored boats can unintentionally and unknowingly cause interference to nearby systems. Even summer atmospheric conditions can lead to intermittent radio propagation interference. To compensate for these wi-fi range limitations, there are a variety of wi-fi power boosting devices which - used right - can extend the useful range of usable wi-fi. The range of these devices over water can be truly astonishing. However, they can also cause significant radio interference in densely occupied public settings like MYC. Some boosters and most modern routers have adjustable radio transmitter output power levels, and all require some responsibility on the part of their owners in order to avoid causing radio interference to neighbors. There are three commercial facilities operating large wi-fi systems in close proximity to one another here in Rock Creek; MYC, Fairview Marina and White Rocks Marina. MYC is operating on wi-fi channel 1. Fairview is operating on wi-fi channel 11. White Rocks operates two systems, one on channel 6 and one on channel 1. Here at MYC, some individual residents contract with Comcast or the telephone company for their own, private slip-side Internet service. Just as in a home installation, these dock-side systems typically have a wi -fi router which in turn exchanges data with the owner's PC/tablet/cell phone/game box, etc. Even though they are not using MYC's wi-fi system, these private systems can and do interfere with the MYC basin wi-fi system and the MYC basin system can interfere with them. MYC Kedge Anchor Page 19 August 2014 Radio interference is a significant part of the Internet-access performance issue we experience here at MYC. Turning up the output power on a booster will not overcome the interference; in fact, turning up the power will only make the level of interference worse for everyone. If you have a power booster or a personal router operating here at the club, it should be configured to operate on wi-fi channel 4 or higher, and set to operate at the lowest possible power output level. Adjusting output power level is usually done with settings in the device firmware. Consult the user manual for your equipment to learn how to adjust output power level. Radio interference is the most likely cause of our current performance problems, but there are additional possibilities. I will be working in the coming days with our IT contractor to find and implement solutions. I will keep you posted on improvements and progress in future Kedge updates.

There are 2 types of reciprocity. The first is simply if a Yacht Club offers reciprocity it typically means, as a fellow Yacht Club member, you will be allowed into their club, at a reduced rate or special arrangement for a limited period of time. Boaters who are not Yacht Club members are generally not allowed. To locate these clubs, in our boardroom, the Yacht Clubs of America book lists Yacht Clubs by state and the CBYCA book is a roster of local clubs. When you find the club you would like to visit, call them and see what their arrangement is, every clubs policy is different. The second type of reciprocity is among the “Big 6” Yacht Clubs General Managers. These clubs include; Baltimore, Chesapeake, Kent Island, North East, Miles River and MYC. The special rate available is $25.00 per night plus electric. The agreement is that this rate will not apply to a cruise. Cruises are very welcome, but come at the standard reciprocity rate. So, go out exploring, have fun and return to your home port with wonderful tales from the sea! Pump-outs - You may have us put you on a weekly pump-out schedule or you may request a portable pump-out 48 hours in advance by emailing [email protected] or notifying the office 410-255-4444 [email protected] or [email protected] Old Ropes – If you have old Ropes or lines you no longer need, let Ernie know, he has several projects where he can make use of them. So far we have received one donation, Thank You.
