Well,
the June 1st Meeting is Upon Us. Where did January and February go, along with
March thru May??? The Racing Season is in Full Swing and another 1st for the
Club will be the Summer Series of Races. This will include 4-5 races from late
May thru the End of July with a different twist. I will let Joe Bowen and Butch
Beard go into the details at the June Meeting. The Cruising Season is about to
go Big Time, with 13 -15 boats getting together at Jekyll Harbor Marina for the
Memorial Day Week End. I believe most of
us are waiting anxiously for the July Race to

support.

It's June, and time for some
Summer Series racing. The first race of the Summer Series was Saturday,
May 22. We had an extremely light turnout due to no lead time
announcements. However, there will be 2 Summer Series races in June.
They will be held on the 12th and 26th. Boats that have won a flag in the
"normal" races aren't eligible to place in the summer series, but are
encouraged to participate. The more the merrier! Bragging rights
are always at stake! There will be more details at the June
meeting. See you there!

Fellow
sailors and boaters, our speaker for the month of June is our own Scott
Inglis. Scott will be speaking to us
about taking care of our bottoms. Boat
bottoms that is!!! Scott has a lot of
knowledge in this area and I personally look forward to learning from him. I trust I will see all of you at the June
meeting and let's give Scott a special welcome as he comes to share his
knowledge with us.

Our June 2 club meeting's Bill
of Fare will be hot dogs and hamburgers billed to and provided by
AISC. How we fare will depend on the wonderfully delicious covered/side
dishes customarily brought to the meeting by our members. Bring your
favorite dish to this meeting for culinary enjoyment; if you can't or don't
wish to do so, bring yourself for the enjoyment of fellowship--we always have
plenty of food. See you at the meeting and on the water this coming
weekend.

membership. Scott and Ann Tayana 42, which is presently berthed at
GUEST SPEAKER: Bill
Kavanaugh, Sr. Pilot for the Port of Fernandina Beach and owner of the
MINUTES OF PRIOR MEETING: The
minutes of March's meeting were accepted after correction of Lindsey Leckie's
name.

COMMODORE: Hanko informed the membership about the arrival of
participants in the Tybee 500 race. This race is for catamarans and
starts in So.
REAR COMMODORE: Joe
asked that anyone wishing to receive copies of the Scuttlebutt on line should
get their e-mail address to him. He also suggested that members wishing
to sell items and include a photo of their item to insure that the photo are
web ready and legible. Anyone with questions can contact Joe directly.
A question was received from
the membership regarding publication of an updated roster. The Commodore
replied that we will be issuing an updated roster and year book later this
year.
TREASURER: Lin announced that
there is currently $1,794.88 in the club account. The 50/50 drawing
has helped to build up our treasury.
CRUISE COMMITTEE: Butch discussed
the Memorial Day cruise and suggested that if you signed up for the cruise and
had not yet called Sean with a credit card number, do so immediately. He
then proceeded to go over the agenda for this holiday cruise, including the
route the cruise will take and entertainment planned for the weekend. It
sounds like a busy schedule for all cruisers. Butch also asked the
members to let him know if you are having trouble securing reservation for
upcoming cruises at the designated marinas. If so, he will follow-up with
the people he has been dealing with at these venues. He will also
distribute a schedule of all events to everyone who has signed up for the
Memorial Day cruise.
RACE COMMITTEE: Bob had
several issues to discuss. Joe Bowen was not present at this
meeting. Bob went over the plans for the upcoming race on Saturday, May
15th, giving the time and venue of the pre-race meeting. He also talked
about the Nassau Sound race, which he covered in an article in the current
issue of the Scuttlebutt. The Nassau Sound Regatta will be sponsored by
Kevin of the
LANDSIDE COMMITTEE: Linda
commented that our membership once again provided a great meal tonight.
She talked about a club sponsored Low Country Boil as an addition to the
Valentine's Day and Christmas party. It is a nice idea but would be too
expensive to do a full lobster Boil. A member suggested hot dogs and
hamburgers as a possible alternative and the full membership voted to follow
through with this idea for June's meeting. The club would provide the
meat, rolls and condiments and the members would bring salads, appetizers
and deserts.
PROGRAM COMMITTEE:
Roger has lined up 'our own' Scott Inglis for June's meeting and he will
talk about hull inspection, cleaning and other related topics.
BUSINESS/OPEN ISSUES: The 'in
club' cooks were once commended for their outstanding presentation of Mexican
delights for tonight's buffet. George Chester asked the membership if
anyone could recommend a marina where he could haul his catamaran. At
present he can find only one option and that is in
The 50/50 drawing was held,
yielding $43.00 to the lucky winner Billy Trahan.
