Port Captain Report November 2023
The Port Captain Committee has completed the Fall walk through and census of boats left on the club grounds, so owners of these boats can expect to receive a bill for Winter (off-season) moorage before the end of the year. The new rate (set by the Board) for boats 14 feet or shorter is $110, and for boats over 14 feet is $185. Still a bargain!
Note that several owners did not properly display their Oregon Registration numbers on their trailers, per EYC rules, so in some cases we had to uncover these boats to access those identification numbers. We tried to refasten covers and/or tarps the way we found them, but we can't be sure we did as good a job as you did, so please check your boat coverings if you are one of those who didn't follow the rules!
Note also that we are implementing a new, and hopefully fairer, moorage assignment policy. That policy (explained below) has been approved by the Board and will be in effect starting now. Also, there is no reason to wait, as we are currently accepting requests for “Keep Moorage the Same” for 2024 via the forms on the EYC web site (go to the Members Area, select the “Manage Your Moorage Here” button, and then follow the directions listed). If you have any questions or comments about the new policy, or about moorage in general, please contact the Port Captain Committee (Art Stiers and Murray McLeod) at portcaptaineyc@gmail.com .
As always, thanks for your cooperation!
