Shelter Bay Yacht Club
Photos-Rod Proctor
Well, we’re all soup’d up and off to the races for a great 2015 year at
Shelter Bay Yacht Club with a modern record for attendance. The
January 17th soup dinner put on by Linda and Jim Barrett with crew
Mary and Phil Dolberg, Jennifer Johnston/Bill Plummer, Joanne
Knutson, and Laurie and Gregg Wishkoski warmed our bodies and
nourished them. Kudos to the 14 soup chefs, Mary Dolberg, Peggy
Duehning, Diana Greer, Cate Grinzell, Louise Kari, Murray Laidley,
Elizabeth Landry, Myrna Mahin, Nancy Miller, Ree Murphy,
Sue Myers, Kim Oldis, Laurie Wishkoski and Britt Wisniewski, for
providing the great soups! Then there were all the great salads and desserts!!! Thanks
to all the members for their contributions to the nice evening. Capt’n Jim again provided
a “year in review” of all the fun we had in 2014! What a great job he does on these productions - thank you yet again Jim. So start thinking and making a list of spring boat chores,
signing up for a dinner or cruise crew and we can repeat with another exciting and fun
year in 2015!
Reciprocal Program
No one stepped up to be reciprocal chair for 2015 so I am going to handle the “back room”
chores and Ree Murphy is going to handle the payment boxes and voice recorder. We had
5 visiting vessels for 6 reciprocal nights in July, August and September. I put out a
request to Fidalgo and Anacortes Yacht Clubs to add to our already 66 clubs, and
Fidalgo YC has granted that request. I am still working on Anacortes YC. Both of these
have slips in the Cap Sante Marina. So we have to be careful to not overuse them, being
so close by. This coming summer we will be actively looking for marina slips to offer for
our reciprocal program when you are away! Watch the spring/early summer Dolphins for
details on how to loan your marina slip to the club for reciprocal use. We charge $3 per
day to the visiting boat and pass that on to the slip owner to cover electrical used.
It is with sadness that I report the passing of Ray Landry on
January 23rd. Ray and Beth joined Shelter Bay Yacht Club in
2008 and were active in our cruising and clubhouse activities.
Our thoughts and prayers go out to Beth and her family in
this difficult time.
There will be a service for Ray on Thursday, February 5th at
12:00 noon at St. Luke’s Parish, 322 North 175th Street,
Shoreline, WA.

Vote of the Membership at the February Dinner Meeting
The January Dolphin contains details on a number of initiatives coming to a vote at the
February Crab Feed (http://shelterbay.kattare.com/newsletter/jan2015.pdf).
Please familiarize yourselves with the issues and come prepared to cast your ballot. Call or
email me as soon as possible if you need to request absentee ballots.
Feel free to seek out any of your Bridge Officers with concerns and ideas for dinners or
cruises; we are here for you and want communication to be as open as possible.
Directory Update
The 2015 Directory has gone to the printer and we hope to be able to distribute them at the Crab Feed.
Thanks to Fred Laws who produces the Directory every year and to those who assisted in cross-checking our
databases to produce a timely and accurate publication we all can use. For any future changes you may
have, I encourage you to use the member profile edit on the club’s web site to keep your personal contact,
addresses and boat info current.
Opening Day 2015
Opening Day is not that far off. Time to search out those classy nautical and household objects to donate for
the Auction. Contact me or Jim Barrett to join the Opening Day Crew.
Arrival of the New J-Dock
Rod Proctor captured some pictures of the new J-dock as it arrived in tow. Note the dog that came along for
the fun. The old pilings were scheduled for removal as this goes to print.

I’m sure you have heard the saying that “you are what
you eat”. If that is so, we will have a whole lot of crabby
people at the February Club Dinner. The beer will flow,
crab, salad, bread and dessert will all be served by the
capable team of crabby servers headed up by Ken &
Marnie Lee and Jim & Betty Foster.
We have a great slate of dinners coming up for this year with some “out of the box” ideas
that look to be really fun. You can see the dates for all of these dinners on the Calendar
section of this issue or on the web site under Event Calendar.
It’s not too early to sign up for hosting a 2016 dinner. I already have one commitment, so give some thought
to what would be a fun event and give me a call – 466-3027, or [email protected].

Clubhouse Crab Feed Dinner—Ken &
Marnie Lee and Jim & Betty Foster
All of our scheduled cruises have
been secured for the dates selected. Sidney, on the Commodores
cruise, is somewhat up in the air,
because new leadership at Port
Sidney Marina will soon be in place,
but our dates of July 15, 16, and 17
have been entered by the temporary
staff. The only conflict could be on
the 17th; with Tacoma Yacht Club arriving that day,
but their boat sizes (larger) and number should not
pose a problem.

Clubhouse Dinner—Murray & Val Laidley
and Dennis Largé & Susan Brown
Our Shakedown Cruise to Cap Sante, set for April 23,
24, 25 (note the change from my previous article),
promises to be another outstanding event; hosted by
W.C. & Lora Harvey, with crew. This destination, even
though a short hop, always gives the boat owners a
chance for checking systems; and also allows nonowners to join in and a chance to kick some fenders
and enjoy a drink or two on board.
On Sunday the 11th I received a surprise phone call
from Ron Kostanich and Pat, volunteering to host
Friday Harbor, along with Claus & Turid Dassel, Tom
& Dee Ihrig, and Jerry & Carolyn Morris. Make no
mistake, with a crew such as this, our stay at Friday
Harbor promises to be quite an “affair”. Thank you for
stepping up, for by doing so, you have made my job
that much easier.

Training Coordinator—Jack Cheetham
The January 8th session had 24 members in attendance and was well received. The group
consumed 3 bags of cookies, setting a record according to Ron Kostanich. Many thanks to
Thomas McNeal for presenting this navigation option.
The February 12th program: “How to care for common emergency medical situations” will be
presented by our Fire District #13 EMS crew. They will cover basics of CPR, AED operation
and treatment of Hypothermia. Note this training session is also open to the community.
The March 12 training session will be hosted by Chris Dailey on “planning a trip to Princess
Louisa”. Our survey indicated a high interest in navigating Canadian waters so here is one to enjoy.
Following the March session is fire extinguisher certifications on April 4th, a Saturday. Mike Eddy with Pacific
Rim Fire Inc. will be providing this service. You will need your extinguishers “current” for the Everett Power
Squadron Coast Guard safety inspection and 2015 certification sticker. The power Squadron is scheduled for
April 11th the following Saturday to provide this service. Assembly area will be at Dock D starting at 0900
hours.
Next month I will have a sign up roster for extinguishers and inspections so we can organize a head count for
our hosts. You can also e-mail me any time to get on the roster.
New Advertiser
We welcome a new advertiser this month—
Jim and Sandra Smith of Harbor Canvas in
Oak Harbor.
At the suggestion of one of our members,
who is a recent customer, Harbor Canvas
contacted us about putting an ad in our
Directory, after the directory was ready to
send to the printer, so we’re including it in
this issue of the Dolphin and on the back
page.
