    LandCruise 2010: WOW, what a great event.  Thanks to all that attended; the dinner by John Bennet at the Second Street Café was superb and music by the World Famous Traveling Lounge Lizards was great and you made it a fun filled evening.  Thanks again for all who helped set-up and teardown.

    New items in the ships store kept the shopping going all night with a lot of sales.  Thanks for supporting your ships store.

    The next event will be THINK SPRING and launch.  The club opening work party will be on Saturday, May 1, 2010.

    We still need HELP.  With the 3 major events coming up, Memorial Day, 4th of July, and Labor Day it would be a great help if someone would step up and chair one of these events.  You can always get help and info from past chairman. I’ll be contacting members that signed up on the survey to help with the events.

    The Fleet Captain has asked for help with the cruise outs.  Contact Barb Uland at lbuland@msn.com

  • Date corrected on July Cruise. Was listed as June 23-25 should be July 23-25.

  • Miller Boat Line with MBI discount coupons link added.

  • Official Opening Day and work party scheduled for May 1, 2010.

  • Updates from the Commodore's Desk

    We have a building plan.  The building committee met on January 13th and finalized a building plan and elevation level. The plan has been sent to the State for final evaluation.

    Contractors are being asked for cost and bids.  We’re getting closer to starting construction this spring and a drawn up version will be ready for the Land Cruise.  We still have a long way to go for completion, but a very important step has taken place.

    Weather permitting; the electric will be turned on April 1st.  The Club opening work party will take place on May 1st.

    If you haven’t signed up for the Land Cruise , now is the time.  Download the info and please mail it in now. 

    Membership matters, dues are due now.  Remember, it’s your club and the more input and help you give the better the club will be.  If you need to get your work hours in, now is a great time with the Land Cruise set up and tear down. Contact entertainment@mbiyc for more info.

    Yours in Boating,
    Commodore Gil Root

  • Revision 7 of the Dock Policy published.
    This revision was approved by the Board of Directors on 12/10/2009 and goes into effect immediately.
    Summary of changes:
    • Based Dock Holders are now limited to a total of 18 (eighteen) as any given time.
    • The time Dock Holders are required to notify the dockmaster of their intent to use their dock on the Fridays, Saturdays or Holidays has been changed to 12:00 PM (noon).

  • Updates from the Commodore's Desk added.
         On Saturday, November 7, 2009 the docks were bubbled. It was a long day with special thanks to Bubbling Specialist Dick Sisson (Emerald) and friend Jim Dale for their installation of the system.  This alone saved the club thousands of dollars. Thank you to Judy Sisson for the great lunch.  Just another example what members can do to help the club move on to the next step of completion of the new MBIYC.

    On Saturday, November 14, 2009 the annual all day meeting of the BOD took place at the Commodore Perry Motel in Port Clinton.  Again thanks to the Board of Directors for a great job with the 2010 budget being approved and the hiring of Ellis Architects, Inc. and Reitz Engineering for site plan and structure design of the new building. The building committee will be working with the two firms with additional information to follow.

    Yours in Boating,
    Commodore Gil Root

  • Special Notices Page has been updated to include the Dock Policy revision approved by the Board on 11/13/2004. The Dock Policy News page has the changes published and the complete Dock Policy is available for download. The following items are addressed:

    • A member may now be aboard any appropriately sized boat, regardless of ownership and still use Club dock. Also, members may come to Club with non-members on their boats and use the Club docks and facilities providing they remain with the non-members at all times.

    • The requirement to renew your desire on the Dock Waiting List annually has been dropped. Once you're on the list you stay there until offered a dock or you request to be taken off the list.

    • The 5-year sharing member requirement has been removed. All sharing members have been so at least 5 years or have become sharing members from the waiting list.

    • MBIYC policy for I-LYA affiliated members has been set to allow 2 free days dockage per season and require payment for docks after that at the current State Marina rate for docks with electricity and $15 per day for non-powered docks.

    • Electrical and Generators paragraph was changed to clarify that each dock has a single 30A service provided and members must supply the appropriate equipment to use that service. Additionally, vessel generator operation is now prohibited between the hours of 11:00 PM and 7:00 AM.

7/5/03 MBIYC - The Board of Directors this weekend enacted a mandatory $15 per day/night use fee for docks with electricity, effective 7/7/03. This was enacted to cover expenses that have increased dramatically this year due to changes in our lease with the State of Ohio. The fee is required for the use of any dock with electricity available, regardless if overnight or not. The fee covers dockage through the following morning at 10:00AM. "C" and "N" dock are both still available for free without electric.

The fee does not apply to seasonal dock holders unless dock holders who are sharing members of the same dock are present at the same time. In this case, the fee does not apply to one of the dock holders.

A detailed explanation of the issues at hand will be presented in the next Club newsletter.

Thank you for your understanding of the need to keep the Club’s finances in good order by enacting this fee.
