You may recall an article with the same title that appeared in the January issue of the Konza Sailor. In that article I explained new distribution lists that I had created to facilitate communications within the Club. The two main distribution lists are: directors@bluevalleyyachtclub.org to communicate with all the members of the Board of Directors and sailors@bluevalleyyachtclub.org to communicate with all the members of BVYC. I also mentioned that I had made a unique, easily remember able email handle for each of the board members. If you go to the Directors page of the Club web site and click on a given director's name, you will be ready to send a message to that person using an @bluevalley- For those of you who would like a list of the director's email handles; here they are: commodore@bluevalleyyachtclub.org rear-commodore@bluevalleyyachtclub.org vice-commodore@bluevalleyyachtclub.org |

I saw an idea in Fine Homebuilding magazine that may be of interest to sailors. The writer of the article laments the difficulty of preserving tubes of caulk once they have been opened. He had marginal success in plugging the snipped tubes with nails and screws. Then he discovered Duct Tape. By winding a couple turns around the nozzle and then squeezing the open ends together, the writer claims that he can keep open caulk for almost two years. Two years seems like a stretch of the truth but I'll give the idea a try anyway. |

secretary@bluevalleyyachtclub.org treasurer@bluevalleyyachtclub.org webmaster@bluevalleyyachtclub.org I have noticed recently that several members are still using the Yahoo Groups distribution list. As of the date that I created the sailors@bluevalleyyachtclub.org list I stopped maintaining the Yahoo Groups list. (One list is all that I want to maintain.) I strongly suggest that you use the sailors@bluevalleyyachtclub.org list so that you will be sending your mail to every member who has informed me of his/her email address. In this regard, PLEASE inform me if/when your email address changes so I can make the appropriate changes to the distribution lists. |

Reprint from May 1996 Newsletter: "Many people have been asking about the super juice formula for cleaning the yellow tinge from white gel coat. Mix two gallons of hot water with 1/4 cup each of oxalic acid and ivory liquid . Wash the hull and deck down with this mixture and let stand for 15 minutes. Rinse off and let dry. Apply a coat of "Nu-Finish" (available at auto parts stores; it comes in orange bottles) as directed. Re-apply one month later, then once a year." From Marty Ottenheimer |
