Commodore's Corner

I have some sad news to report;  one of our members has relapsed!  He  
missed some of our "Sailors Anonymous" meetings this past winter and  
now has entered in the "Super Mac and Back".  Our motto is "you  
cannot do it alone" but our own Sheldon Dummers (shel #2) is planning  
to sail 4 Mac's back to back, SOLO!!! This man seriously needs our  
help, maybe we could get a support group to witness his finish.  GO  
SHEL-REPRESENT!

SKIPPERS MEETING- (note crews are welcome and encouraged) Thurs.
May  22, 5pm. before the 1st. practice race at the harbor patio. Kevin  
Novak (race chair) is out of town but I will be there to help with  
the meeting and try to answer any questions.

A BIG HAND- is in order to John Hoskins who put on the "Rules  
Seminar" with Alan Teske which was a fantastic success and the  
donations collected almost covered the event.  Now on a much more  
serious note John who  we thought to be in remission and who attended  
the S.A. meetings has also relapsed!  He is entered in the "Newport  
to Bermuda" race.  I called some friends in GLSS (Great Lakes Single  
Handed Society) to organize an intervention but found out they are on  
the same boat.  GO JOHN-REPRESENT!

UK-HALSEY REGATTA- 6/7 & 6/8 sponsored by WYC is open to AYC and is  
part of the northern "Boat Of The Year" series. Sheldon Wecker (Shel  
#1) has entered- howboutyou?-GO SHEL-REPRESENT!

WYC Spring Regatta Sat. may 24th. and also open to AYC.  we need some  
AYC representation!

1st THURS. Night race is on May 29th. and WYC will be open for our  
club after the race.  Lets all show up and support sailing in  
Waukegan.  "Sailing Instructions" and "Notice of Race"  will be  
available as soon as we get all the entries and figure out section  
breaks.  So let get them in ASAP.

AS LMPHRF Representative for AYC I know  some certs. went out late,  
but should be in the mail.  Make sure to check that all the info. on  
your certificate is correct.  We were also able to issue a valid  
certificate to Mike Coan's "Animal"  maybe we will see her out there  
this year?

The "BLESSING OF THE FLEET" for  Great Lakes Navel Base is on  
Memorial Day, Mon. May 26th.  The Navy usually puts on a good speaker  
and is an enjoyable time.  To get on Base, contact Doug (Harbor  
Master) at MWR.


GOOD SAILING AND GOOD TIMES
