There will not be any harbor maintenance during the fall workday on September 23rd. However, harbor work will continue in October. Remember that the operation of the club depends on the support of all members, and members are expected to attend the scheduled workdays or volunteer for other service. Those who cannot attend the workday and are on the harbor committee, or who have keelboats, are invited to join the barge crew in October when harbor maintenance continues. All who have previously assisted agree that work on the club barge is interesting. Keelboat owners even get to inspect their own moorings. Call the rear commodore at 539-4759 if you are available next month. |

Club Spirit
Our club has BVYC cotton tee shirts that can be purchased from the club treasurer. All sizes are now in stock. There is only one club burgee in stock. The multi-colored BVYC polo shirts now worn by many members were purchased by special order and are not kept in stock. Call Shelly at 539-2374. |

Harbor Maintenance
As the fall season gets underway, the harbor is believed to be in good shape. Nevertheless, harbor maintenance continues. All moorings have been serviced within the last two years and a mooring refurbishment program has been initiated. In the refurbishment program, all chain, connectors and buoys are being replaced. As of this writing four moorings have been refurbished except for the buoys which will be attached next spring. Many thanks to members who volunteered for the harbor maintenance committee and who responded to the requests when called to help service the moorings. |

Reported Problem
There are reports that boats, tenders, PFDs, oars or paddles have been used without permission of the owners. We want to believe that there were misunderstandings on the part of some members rather than intentional unauthorized use. In some cases, the “borrowed” items were not returned. It goes without saying that you must have the owners’ permission before using equipment, and you must ensure that the right owner gave the permission. BVYC does not have common use boats, tenders or PFD’s. The tractor, dolly and tongue extender belong to BVYC and are for use by all members. |
