Around the Club…
Commodore’s Log…
Another season is in the books and most of the boats
are tucked in on the hard for the winter. After a bit of a
slow start the weather improved and we had a great
August and September. As a result of the wet summer
our lake is back up to where it should be, which is at its
90 year mean for this time of year, and up two feet from
the spring. I hope everyone had a wonderful year. I would like to announce that the CN Station should
be reopened before Christmas with Kerry Berlinquette at
the helm. The space is getting a makeover and is almost
ready to go. She hopes to improve on the original model
that we had which was a bar with light snacks. I am sure
it will be the place to be when she is done as we all know
she knows how to throw a party. With this new
responsibility she will be stepping down as Social
Director at the end of her term in November. She will be
missed and I would like to thank her for her seemly
endless energy in organizing events that bring us all
together. Our AGM meeting has been set for November 28. At
this meeting, as you know, our annual elections for the
board will be held. As well, you can hear about all the
projects that have been completed and new ones that
may be coming. This is your meeting and your chance to
be heard so I encourage you to attend. I would like to take this opportunity to thank all the
directors for their hard work over the last year and over
my two year term as Commodore. I wish them well and
look forward to the Club continuing to grow and
improve. Todd Siciliano, Commodore

Marina Advisory Committee (MAC)… The MAC meeting scheduled for October 15th was rescheduled to October 30th,
and again to November 6th, 2013. However, one item of interest to late season boaters not reported from the
September MAC meeting is that City officials are advising that the last day to leave the marina is Friday, November
15th.
Representatives from MAC, as well as the Thunder Bay Art Gallery, Temple Reef Sailing Club and Thunder Bay Yacht
Club, met with senior City Administration on Friday, October 25th for a Prince Arthur’s Landing-South of Pearl St. Meet &
