OLYMPIA YACHT CLUB
September 2013
Hard to believe that summer is almost gone. Your Bridge just returned from enjoying the annual
Grand 14 cruise-in to Bremerton YC. This is where the new Rear Commodores meet their classmates
that they will spend the next three years with. At this point they don’t realize how close they will be-
come. Our experience has been amazing and we have developed friends for life.
OYC also just participated with the Port of Olympia and gave harbor tours to visiting dignitaries
from Japan. Senator Karen Frazier called and asked if we could provide boats for the event. Ten quick
phone calls and 8 boats volunteered to help. It is rare to find that kind of support from a club.
Labor Day is fast approaching and we hope you can find the time to attend. Once again there will be 6 or 7 smokers providing Pulled Pork, Brisket, Ribs and more.
September is a busy month that starts with the Labor Day cruise followed by the September dinner
meeting (steak night!) then Foofaraw on Friday.
People keep asking me if I am tired of phone calls and emails complaining about things. Frankly I have not had anything but
positive feedback so far.
OYC is truly one of the greatest Yacht Clubs in the Sound. If you want to make it even better….just volunteer. You won’t be sorry.

Hello and welcome to the fall season. The sun is out and it is a beautiful summer day
… and I am witnessing the first signs of fall – the leaves gently falling from the trees.
We have been in the midst of planning for our annual Labor Day event and those dis-
cussions gave me the topic for this monthly message – when old meets young and the
importance of embracing both sides of this continuum.
I encourage you to look at the pictures in our OYC membership book. You will see
folks of all ages. This age range provides us with a full spectrum of possibilities. For
those of us who are retired, we have more control of our time and the patience that our
life experiences have engendered in us. For those in the prime of their careers, our club
benefits from their focus on tasks and their need for time management. Then we have
those that will be the future of OYC. They bring a level of energy that I can still re-
member and exuberance for life. We all bring our sense of humor, our love of the water, and our passion for our
club. This is a winning combination.
This sets us up for a relaxing time at Labor Day (which you will have enjoyed by the time you read this article). I
look forward to seeing all of you at our dinner meetings, around the club house, at committee meetings, and on the
docks. Thank you to those you who are younger for keeping me on my toes and thanks to those who are older than
I am for reminding me to focus on what is really important. And remember, I am always here as your Vice.
Sincerely,
Vice Commodore Myra

The BBQ on the deck in August was a success but nearly a disaster. A success because so many people showed
up. Nearly a disaster because they were down to the last hot dog and no hamburgers when the event ended.
Good planning? Or Good luck? Ask Myra and Joe

Hello everyone. I hope you are having
a great summer.
As I write this report we are in the Is-
lands, crabbing in Blind bay along
with the crazy bees….but the crabbing
is good and the weather is great. We
were able to come up here after the
officers’ cruise-in at the Bremerton
Yacht Club. We had a great time meet-
ing our new class of rear commodores.
I would like to take this opportunity to thank the committee for
the help with the BBQ on the deck in July. Tim Ridley, Matt
Mills, Skip and Sherry Frailey, Dean and Tammy Questi, Mike
and Lisa Fenton, Mike and Yvonne Contris and John and Valerie
Teters. We could not have the great functions that we are accus-
tomed to without our great members jumping in and helping
with them. THANK YOU VERY MUCH for your help!!!!!
By the time you get this, the month of August will just about be
over and we will have to start thinking about fall. With that I
would like to remind you that our dinner meetings will start after
the summer on September 4th at 6:00 PM. Please get your reser-
vations in if you’re not on the permanent list. And I would also
like to remind anyone that might be on a special diet and needs a
different menu, we can accommodate your needs. Please call me
so I can make arrangements for you. It is no big deal if I know.
Well, I have to check the crab pot, so we will see you at the La-
bor Day Cruise August 30th thru September 2nd. Get your reser-
vations in early, and be safe, and we’ll see you on the water.

The ocean has always been a salve to my soul…the best thing for a cut or abrasion was to go swimming in salt water. Later down the road of life, I made the discovery that salt water was also good for the mental abra-sions one inevitably acquires on land. -Jimmy Buffett
Greetings All! The OYC 2013 – 2014 Yearbook is at the
printers! With any luck, we will be able to disperse said
books at the September dinner meeting. Steve and I have
spent the last three years working on the yearbook and it is
time to let it go. Jan and Michael Wilson (Touchrain) have
accepted the challenge! So, a big THANK YOU to those
who sent in pictures! I know the Wilson’s will appreciate
the continued help. Regards, Beth Branshaw
A doe and her fawns clean up the early apples at Island Home. For the second year a mother has brought her twins to the island
A fawn at Island Home watches Bob Wolf's Wolf Gang II head for home. The fawn is one of several spending time on the Island this summer
Did you see the new gadget at Island Home? It opens wine bottles in a jiffy with one push of the han-dle. George found it somewhere and put it out for all to try out. If you do it wrong, you not only take out the cork, you put it back in!
When you visit Island Home don't approach one of these cute sprinklers unless you are in a bathing suit. Care-taker George has installed them in
strategic spots around the flowers to keep the deer away. They sense your proximity and hit you with a sharp sprinkler spray. George says the older animals don't mind them much but the fawns are driven off
