"YOU ARE MY SUNSHINE" (published in 1939, written by Jimmie Davis & Charles Mitchell)
We've had some serious illnesses lately. George Iaconis was in the hospital several weeks from which he is recooperating from. It's nice to see him back at the club & he is looking better than ever.
Ed Stetson has been very ill. He has had two long bouts in St. Joseph's Hospital in Stockton. He is now home
& "Nurse Bonnie" is administering a bacteria drip twice a day & driving "Mr. Daisy" to the doctor very often.
Kalli Graham (many of you know her from her work with PDC to fight WesPac & doing an amazing job
cleaning the PYC windows). She recently had a significant health scare & was in the ER for stroke-like
symptoms. She was admitted to ICU & was treated for a complex migraine, ( also known as a "hemiplegic
migraine") that causes partial temporary paralysis, seizures & bouts of aphasia ( loss of speech function).
(written by Lisa Graham)
They would all appreciate your thoughts and prayers. Remember them with your cards also!
Lastly, Carol Promessi's Dad ( Dr. Herbert Hoover) has passed away). Cards can be sent to her at
4207 W. Roanoke Pl, Broken Arrow, OK 74011
TRY TO ADD SOME SUNSHINE TO YOUR PYC FRIENDS LIVES!
IT'S BETTER THAN SPREADING AROUND GLOOM ! "

R.B.O.C. Report
Jack Michael ~ 2013 President
As I write this report the Legislature has nearly completed this Legislative Session, and
we don’t anticipate any surprises …. but then, one can never tell!! In early August there
was “word on the street” that the State Department of Parks and Recreation was
considering a possibility of eliminating the Boating & Waterways Division and
merging it’s functions and responsibilities into other existing Divisions within the
Department! Of course our paranoia took us off the charts like you can hardly believe!
Well, fortunately, this was not being considered by the Parks Dept. leadership, but
they have been, and continue to have “in house” discussion, and have had two public
sessions on how they can more efficiently and effectively carry out their overall
responsibilities. At a public session recently held in Sacramento, RBOC clearly
expressed our concern that the leadership, transparency, accountability and
effectiveness of the Division of Boating and Waterways not be diminished in any way!
We pointed out that the State’s 4 million recreational boating enthusiasts, the tens of
millions of fuel tax and registration fee dollars we pay to the state each year, and the
several billion dollar impact the boating community has in the state’s economy, deserve
a policy leader with the stature and authority of the current Deputy Director,
managing a division with effective and efficient programs and services that provide
value to the recreational boating public.
Also at this session, we provided fifteen, very specific questions for them to consider
as they further study any re-organization ideas. In response to these questions, the
Director addressed many of the questions directly with assurances that they would
consider our concerns and that we would be included in further discussions. If it is any
comfort, we were also specifically advised that no legislative actions were anticipated
or necessary to accomplish what the department leadership was considering in this
effort. That does give us some degree of comfort! Stay tuned!!

Boating Safety
September 2016
July 2016

Ed Stetson
WATCH OUT FOR THE BIG GUYS!
If you’re boating in waters where there are large oceangoing vessels, here’s a piece of sound advice: As soon as
you see a big ship, do whatever you can—immediately—to get out of the way.
When recreation boats meet commercial ships, the former usually have more control. Large ships
have difficulty stopping, lose steerage at slow speeds and often cannot maneuver for fear of
running aground.
First, the legalities: Whatever your previous impressions, the rules of the road do not give you the right of way
over oceangoing vessels, even if you’re on a sailboat. Unless you are out in ocean waters, big ships are likely to be
confined to a narrow shipping channel, and they cannot leave it without running aground. Coast Guard
navigation rules require that you take steps to avoid them.
There’s also the matter of visibility. Even on clear days, there’s no guarantee that the crew of a large vessel will
be able to see you, let alone steer around you. Oceangoing vessels usually are so tall and their bridges are placed
so far aft that the helmsman has a blind-spot for at least a quarter of a mile ahead. Many radar sets won’t even
pick up fiberglass boats, except as tiny, indistinct blips. And the crew may not be monitoring the radar screen
that closely. At night, your running lights may be difficult to see.
HOW LARGE SHIPS OPERATE Big ships also travel a lot more quickly than most boaters expect. While
merchant vessels may seem slow and lumbering, they usually travel at between 13 and 18 knots even in coastal or
inland shipping channels. That means the ship that seems miles away could be right off your bow in minutes.
Slow-moving sailboats and trawlers may find it difficult to escape if they wait too long. Even if you’re on a fast
boat, if your engine fails while you’re in the middle of a shipping channel, you’re in potentially serious trouble.
New Coast Guard figures show there were 86 accidents in the U.S. in 2006 that were due to engine failure—
nine of them fatal.
There’s also the idea that getting too close to a big ship can itself be dangerous. Bow waves, propeller wash or
wakes can rock your boat severely; draw you into the ship or—worse yet—into the propellers.
HOW YOU SHOULD OPERATE One major safety measure is to make sure your boat is visible. Carry a radar
reflector if you can—as high on your boat as you can place it—to enlarge the blip that the big ship sees on its
radar. It won’t guarantee that you’ll be spotted, but it certainly will improve the chances. If you’re going to be on
the water at night, be sure your running lights work and aren’t hidden by sails or equipment such as dinghies.
Also, do what you can to be aware of approaching ships. At a minimum, you should maintain a constant
lookout, especially at night, and make sure you look up and down the channel carefully to see whether big ships
are coming. Even if it looks as though they’re far away, they can be upon you in a matter of minutes.
Stay out of the shipping lanes unless you really need to cross them. If you have to follow the shipping channel,
stay to the side and be aware of how much room you have outside the channel without running aground
yourself. Also be aware of the tides. In some areas, large ships time arrivals and departures to tidal action, in
order to facilitate the draft of their vessels. In San Francisco Bay “Vessel Traffic Control” operates much
like “Air Traffic Control” for aircraft. If you need to talk to the captain or pilot by radio, call on Channel
13, the frequency reserved for “bridge-to-bridge” communications, or conversations between you and the
big ship’s crew.

2016 Officers & Directors
Nomination & Election information
PYC BYLAWS
ARTICLE V – ELECTION OF OFFICERS
Section 2 Nomination of Officers and Directors shall be as follows:
In the month of March, the Commodore shall appoint a Nominating Committee consisting of five (5)
regular members, subject to approval of the Board of Directors.
The report of the Nominating Committee shall be published in the Yeoman prior to the regular Club
meeting in September, subject to the approval of the Board of Directors.
Nominations from the floor will be accepted at the September meeting.
Section 3 Nominating Committee
The Nominating Committee shall consist of five (5) members in good standing including the Chair.
Recommendations for candidates must have the consensus of at least three (3) of the five (5)
Committee members…………….
The nominating Committee shall submit its report to the Board of Directors at their August meeting.
(Parliamentarian op)
The report could not be accepted by the Board due to the lack of 5 members, thus not
providing a consensus for the candidates. The appointments were not done timely and only 3
were appointed by the Commodore. Due to this deficiency, the report cannot be accepted by
the Board of Directors, nor published in the September Yeoman.
To mitigate the Committee’s inability to complete its report; a solution has been presented by
the Club’s Parliamentarian, Joan Marsh:
BASED ON THE CLUB BYLAWS THAT PROVIDE FOR NOMINATIONS FROM THE
FLOOR, ALL CANDIDATES MUST BE NOMINATED FROM THE FLOOR,
AT THE SEPTEMBER GENERAL MEETING, SEPTEMBER 9, 2016.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Provided by: Margie Huff -- Chair, Election Committee
Voting will take place before the Meeting on October 14.
Absentee ballots will be available the week following the September General Meeting.
For absentee ballot, contact Margie at (925) 754-1644.
