Port Captain Report December 2023
We are slowly settling into the job of Port Captain, thanks for your patience and understanding as we get our arms around this beast. Now that the winter billing cycle is complete, we turn our focus to getting moorage renewals/requests in from everyone for next summer, plus making sure that all boats/watercraft are registered with the Port Captain (see Ghost Boats below). We continue to have very high occupancy rates for almost all moorage types, but the new 'pending' process for assigning scarce moorage seems to be working well. We will continue to develop our systems and procedures to deliver the best member services we can, and we appreciate your feedback and support in that effort.
NEW TRAILER SPACE AVAILABILITY
Trailer space TR 33, previously held by Mary VanCura, is now available. Interested members in good standing are invited to submit requests to the Port Captain for this space, which you can see on the Moorage Map on the Member Moorage page of the EYC website. This is for the space only, there are no other personal property items included. Requests should be sent via email to PortCaptainEYC@gmail.com not later than Sunday January 7th, please include “TR 33” in the subject line. If you are not familiar with club rules for trailers, please see EYC Club Rules, Section E. Moorage, rules 11 d. regarding minimum usage of trailers, and rules 12 – 20 for all other rules regarding trailers. Please note in particular rule 16.i, Trailer size limitations for space TR 33.
NEW DRY MOORAGE SPACE AVAILABILITY
Row G 01 (Multihull space close to the water)
Per EYC moorage rules, on publication of this notice the Port Captain Committee (PCC) will begin a one week waiting period during which members wishing to move into this space are invited to submit a moorage request. This moorage space now shows a white icon on the EYC Moorage map, indicating it is “pending”. On Tuesday December 26th, the member with the highest seniority who has requested it will be assigned the space (assuming watercraft suitability requirements are met). If no one requests the newly available moorage space before the date above, then the space will be made available on a first-come, first-served basis, and will subsequently show as a green icon on the moorage map.
Requests for moorage can be made by going to the Members area of the EYC web site and selecting the "Manage Your Moorage Here" button; then follow the directions listed there. Contact the PCC at PortCaptainEYC@gmail.com if you have questions or need assistance.
