Vice-Commodore Ted Wooden

looking for people to help with the three C's ball. We need people to come up with a theme and help deco-rate our hospitality room as well as help in greeting other clubs when they come in to visit us. We are also looking for skit and song ideas for the Fri-day night show. It is going to be a great time with lots of fun people.

I have put up a sign up sheet on the bulletin board for people that want to help.

V/C Ted

Hello fellow club mem-bers. This summer has flown by so quickly I hope that everyone had a great one. It is hard to believe that ball sea-son is here upon us so quickly. Laura and I will be attending as many balls as possible to rep-resent Middle River Yacht Club in a positive way. As announced at our September mem-bership meeting we are

My time as Commodore is winding down and I thought maybe “just one more” year - just kidding. I have been putting the nominating committee together to make nomi-nations for next year’s bridge. It has been a fan-

tastic year and I want to thank everyone for their support. Many improvements have been made to the club and I hope everyone enjoys them. Our St. Michaels cruise was ex-cellent and I hope more

folks join us next year.

Thank You,

Commodore Jack

Well what a fun boating season it has been. More members moved their boats this year than ever, we had a few raft ups (unfortunately it seemed like schedules always crossed paths when wanting to do more of them) and our annual Labor Day trip to St. Michael’s was one of the best ever. We had 6 boats that left Middle River on Friday of Labor Day weekend who made the trip down to St. Michael’s. And if you include Jim Hart driving his car down to spend some time with us, that would be 7. The weekend weather was perfect and we started with cock-tails and munchies on Commodore Jack and Maria’s boat, the “Wicked Lady” with a record number of people who climbed onboard for the festivities! And then from

there…well you can probably guess…Carpenter’s Street Saloon for bloody marys and many other libations being consumed! While the ladies did their usual shopping, the guys decided they needed “just one more!” so they hung out either on their boats or in Carpenter’s Street. We then all gathered back at Carpenter’s Street Saloon for a toast to a few of those members that we have recently lost, Terry Birmingham, Babe Ady and Bill Blondell, Sr. And the weekend continued with a lot more festivi-ties and fun from boat hopping, bar hopping, dancing, singing, shot ski, lots of laughs, awesome dinners and food, and great friendships being made over a few late night cocktails hanging out on the boats. There were a few stumbles along

the way such as “Waterfront Proper-ty” lost its air conditioning…only for a short time; luckily a friend had a spare pump that we could borrow and the “La Re Viera” sprung a leak! Again, with the help of friends, that was able to be fixed as well. All in all it was an awesome weekend! Then Monday came and Fleet and Fleetie brought us home safe and sound, but again not without some issues but we made it! Hopefully we will have more members who want to join us next year for this trip as we cannot wait to go back! A good time was had by all…hope you enjoy some of the photos that were taken from the weekend! Fleet Captain Dale

Princess Amelia Gray

most likely be cancelled due to the hurricane but I'm keeping hope alive! I only have a little over a month left as Princess of MRYC and while I'm sad to let it go it was such an honor and truly and amaz-ing experience being able to repre-sent MRYC. I will be attending Red Eye Yacht Club’s ball on October 10th and that will likely, unfortu-nately, be my last event as your princess. I hope you all will be able to attend my de-crowning and Rachel's crowning ceremony on November 8th. I'm excited for her to represent MRYC for a THIRD year. I hope I continue to receive your support through out

the end of this journey as reigning princess, as well as after my reign is over in this other journey we all like to call life. I love all of you and I'm looking forward to seeing you in the upcoming month. Its football season, let's get excited! Love always, MRYC Princess Amelia

Hi everyone! Princess here. I hope you all are adjusting to this not so warm any-more weather. Its terrible isn't it? But at least it isn't snowing yet. While college and work is taking up most of my time I try to come down to the club as often as I can. As most of you know my 21st birthday is on Sunday!! Woohoo! As always I will represent the club with the utmost respect and honor. As it is a privilege to be your Prin-cess, I will represent my self and the club as such. More than likely my birthday plans of attending the last Orioles game of the season will

Christmas and New Years. This is an opportunity to give back and be involved in designing a good time for all members.

I also want to remind you about the "Making Strides for Breast Cancer Cures" being held on Oct 18th off site but will have a huge impact on women around the

I felt a chill the other day which has me looking at the trees to see a change of colors. This tells me the holiday season is nearing. Halloween is first... I don't need to tell you the rest, do I? Let's embrace it! Holiday season is party season; each party needs leaders, each leader needs a committee. We need just a few peo-ple who want to be in a committee to cover social events of Halloween,

world. I will send out another email reminder to donate and/or walk with fellow club members to bring awareness to our community and throughout Baltimore.

PS... keep your sweater in your car/boat ;-)

Embrace (full definition) verb em·brace \im-ˈbrās\ : to hold someone in your arms as a way of expressing love or friendship : to accept (something or someone) readily or gladly : to use (an opportunity) eagerly Just like many words in our language, embrace has multiple meanings. Today I want to focus on embracing involvement. Whether it's Making Strides for Breast Cancer Cures or being on a committee at MRYC to organize and set-up club events or parties... embracing these actions are not only personal re-wards but rewards for those you impact by your actions. We have the oppor-tunity to give back to our members and people around the world if we just embrace being a helping hand in some aspect of our fortunate lives. We are blessed to have such a wonderful water community... gratitude and acts of kindness through leadership, involvement and selflessness are powerful trig-gers in life that bring happiness to many... 1. a: to take up especially readily or gladly <embrace a cause> b: to avail oneself of : welcome <embraced the opportunity to study further> 2. a: to take in or include as a part, item, or element of a more inclusive whole <charity embraces all acts that contribute to human welfare> b: to be equal or equivalent to <his assets embraced $10>


The fund raising starts now and ends with

the Celebration Walk on October 18,2015.

Making Strides Against Breast Cancer means a great deal to Alison and me, and we appreciate anything and everything

that the club can do to help us reach our goal!

In the May membership meeting Paul Brown generously donated $1500.00 toward the bar stools in the main club

house.

The membership agreed to help Paul with the cause, donate, and walk in this event.

I know MRYC will stand up and join in.

We all committed to support this cause in any way we can—donations and/or walking


A thank you note from Joan Birmingham to the members of Middle River Yacht Club.

My family and I would like to thanks you for the touching card and beautiful planter you sent following the loss of my husband. We especially appreciate the current officers and all past Commodores that came in uniform to hon-or Terry. What an outpouring of love filled that room for my husband. I will forever be grateful to everyone who attended his memorial. Many thanks, Joan Birmingham.


Here’s a few pictures from the Grand drawing day and Ravens Tailgate party at MRYC. What a great day and so many folks showed up to party. The Tiki bar truly is an asset to MRYC.

Bilge Pump Basics They're your last line of defense against sinking, so give them some respect and a little love from time to time.

Due to the lack of maintenance they receive from the average boat owner, I often refer to bilge pumps as the Rodney Dangerfield of boat equipment, meaning "they just don't get no respect." It's a funny but also troubling statement, particularly be-cause bilge pumps are often a boat owner's first and only line of defense against sinking. To prevent you from being that proverbial scared sailor with a bucket, here's a look at bilge pump basics — from what they do, to selection, installation, and maintenance.


What Type Of Bilge Pump Do You Have? The most common types of bilge pumps (and the primary focus of this article) are centrifugal and dia-phragm electrical pumps. Centrifugal pumps move water by kinetic energy using a rotating, solid impeller, similar in design to a turbine. Water enters the pump, picks up speed as the impeller rotates, and is then forced out by its own momentum. Centrifugal pumps are submersible but not self-priming, meaning they must be sitting in water in order to pump it.

Centrifugal pumps are relatively inexpensive and can move a lot of water. Other advantages include low maintenance, excellent reliability, and the ability to pass small amounts of debris without clogging. They can also run dry for extended periods without damage, although this does wear the bearing and will cause it to fail eventually. Disadvantages include their inability to self-prime and their loss of effectiveness the farther they have to push water vertically.

A diaphragm pump acts like a little wet-vac to suck out bilge water. Water is pulled in through an intake valve, then pushed out through an output valve. Diaphragm pumps are self-priming (meaning they devel-op suction and prime themselves when dry), can be run dry without damage, and are better able to push water uphill than centrifugal pumps. As to downsides, they can't move as much water as a comparable centrifugal pump and most can't tolerate even small bits of trash or debris, which can lodge in the pump's valves, causing leaks or failure.

Nothing beats the simplicity and pumping power of a centrifugal pump. However, diaphragm pumps can be a better choice where water has to be pumped more than a few feet uphill, and they can be installed in a drier, more convenient place than the bottom of the bilge. Adding a filter before the pump to remove de-bris reduces the risk of failure.

What They Are (And Aren't) The primary job of most bilge pumps on most boats is to clear nuisance water from the bilges (packing gland drips, spray from an errant wave, etc.). The one that came with your boat may be up to that task, but a bilge pump should also be able to provide crucial extra time if your boat is taking on water, allowing you to find and deal with the source of a leak or, in extremis, to don life jackets and hopefully keep your boat afloat long enough for help to arrive. Most people upgrade to a larger bilge pump or add a backup bilge pump to give them time to deal with an emergency. Even that pump should not be confused with an emergency pump, which provides much greater dewatering capacity. If you plan on fishing the Canyons or sailing offshore, then you need a true "crash" pump, one that can move hundreds of gallons per minute.

This article will focus on the middle of these three options — the bilge pump meant to remove nui-sance water but also to give you time to deal with an emergency. See the article "Bilge Pump Capaci-ty: Do The Math" to figure out how much pumping capacity you need.


Are Your Bilge Pumps Installed To Minimize Problems? The first step on the path to bilge pump nirvana is making sure your boat's bilge is clean and free of trash and debris. Routine bilge cleaning is a fact of life for older boats, but even that new boat you're purchas-ing can have a bilge littered with pump-clogging bits of construction material — wood shavings, bits of fiberglass, and gobs of epoxy. Oily bilge residue should also be cleaned up and disposed of properly. In addition to the ecological concerns of accidentally pumping it overboard, oil combines with dirt to form a gooey sludge that can clog pumps and prevent float switches from operating properly. In addition, some

No pump can work properly in a bilge choked with trash and debris.

Oil combines with dirt to form a gooey sludge that can clog pumps and prevent float switches from operating.

Do You Have Enough Capacity? Now that you know how different bilge pumps work, the next step is determining how many and what size your boat should have. The first thing to understand when shopping for a bilge pump is that just because a pump is rated to pump 1,000 gallons per hour (gph) that doesn't mean it will. See the "Bilge Pump Capacity: Do The Math" to figure out how much a bilge pump is likely to actually move when installed on your boat compared to its rated capacity.

So how much pumping capacity should your boat have? It's a good question, but one with no clear or easy an-swer, mainly because boats are so different. Any compartment that's essentially watertight (i.e. where water can't drain into another area) should have its own pump or two. While the American Boat and Yacht Council (ABYC) hasn't set requirements concerning bilge pump capacity, the American Bureau of Shipping recom-mends one 24-gallon-per-minute (gpm) pump — or about 1,440 gph — and one 12-gpm (720 gph) pump for boats under 65 feet. To me, it's a simple case of bigger is better — within reason, of course. Based on size alone, I'd recommend a minimum of 5,500 gph pumping capacity for a 40-foot vessel, divided among a 1,500-gph primary pump and two 2,000-gph backup pumps. I'd also throw a high-volume manual pump in the mix for good measure, since all that pumping capacity will be useless if something happens to your batteries.


Use smooth-walled marine-grade hose for pump discharge runs and secure them at each end with marine-grade stainless steel hose clamps. Hoses should be routed as directly as possible to their discharge thru-hull and should also be properly supported (approximately every 18 inches) to prevent chafe and excessive movement. Speaking of discharge thru-hulls, they should be situated well above the waterline to prevent water from siphoning back into the bilge. Siphon breaks and riser loops are also recommended and should reach at least 18 inches above static waterline where possible.

If your bilge pump uses a flapper style automatic float switch, it must be securely mounted and installed so that the floating-arm is clear of wires, hoses and other obstructions that could impede its operation. Orient the switch fore and aft, with the flapper pointed toward the stern. This is especially important on powerboats — during jackrabbit takeoffs, surging bilge water can damage the flapper mechanism. Installing them close to a bulkhead or frame also helps protect the switch from a torrent of water. Enclosed switches eliminate this worry, but they're difficult to inspect and test. Regardless of the type you choose, make sure each pump has a manual switch as well; none of the automatic systems are failsafe.

Make sure all bilge pumps not only have intake strainers or strum boxes installed, but that they can be easily reached and cleared of debris. As a marine surveyor I often see centrifugal-style pumps mounted beneath engines and completely inaccessible, even to simply clean the strainer — if your boat has similarly inacces-sible pumps, relocate them for better access.

Common bilge pump problems include physical damage, loose hoses, and failure to securely mount the pump to ensure proper orientation.


ABYC standards require circuit protection for each bilge pump. You can do this by powering them through the primary DC circuit breaker panel, but then you'll have the potential problem of someone inadvertently killing power to the pumps by turning off the primary battery switch. To prevent this, you can also wire each through a dedicated fuse to the "all" or hot terminal of the battery switch (the one that's always energized) or even directly to the battery itself. The battery switch option ensures the pump can draw power from both batteries, rather than limiting them to one. An even better option is in-stalling a small, dedicated bilge pump breaker panel (which has the added benefit of keeping all bilge pump fuses and breakers together and easily accessible). This panel would then be wired directly to the battery switch, bypassing the primary DC circuit breaker panel.

When wiring your bilge pump, ensure all electrical connections are located well above normal bilge wa-ter levels (to reduce corrosion issues) and properly terminated with marine-grade connectors — leave those wire nuts and electrical tape joints at home! Finally, while it's fine to go with oversized wire, don't upsize the fuse. The BoatUS Marine Insurance claim files include many fire claims caused by centrifu-gal bilge pumps that overheated when something got caught in the rotor assembly and the fuse didn't blow because the installer thought a slightly bigger fuse would be better. When it comes to fuse size, follow the manufacturer's recommendations exactly.

What Maintenance Should I Be Doing? Problems with centrifugal pumps typically involve clogging, defective automatic float switches (if in-stalled), or corroded electrical connections, a common problem with any electrical gear installed in corro-sive environment of a vessel's bilge. Maintenance is generally limited to clearing the strainer (centrifugal pumps have one built into the base) and waterproofing all connectors. When it comes to repair, with the exception of the larger, rebuildable units, most centrifugal pumps are so inexpensive that it usually costs less to replace a damaged pump than repair it.

Maintenance and repair of diaphragm pumps typically involve opening up the pump body, clearing the pump chamber of debris, and checking the diaphragm and valves for damage or deterioration. Other than clogging, most problems will be caused by torn or damaged check valves. The diaphragms can also fail though they will typically outlast several valve changes. Pump disassembly for maintenance is nor-mally straightforward; however, some are more complex than others (multi-chambered units, for exam-ple), so be sure to read all instructions carefully to avoid common mistakes, such as improper orientation of check valves during installation.

So give that bilge pump a little respect, and it will keep your bilge dry and maybe even keep your boat afloat long enough for you to figure out where that water's coming from!

Have you ever planned a great day of boating, only to discover that you left your sunglasses, sun block, or boat keys

at home? Try this solution.

Anchored in Biscayne Bay, 15 miles south of Miami, we'd just returned from a long dinghy ride and were looking forward to a cool drink. Suddenly, I realized we had locked the compan-ionway hatch and all the hatches in case of rain, and there was no way to get below. But no worries — I had my ditty bag with me.

In the 17th century, British sailors kept their personal items in what they used to call a “housewife," a tubular-shaped fabric sack closed with a draw-string that contained their belongings as well as essentials for repairing clothing and some tools of the trade. These bags, companions to the sailors' sea bags or sea chests, were hung from a hammock ring or a hook or peg next to their bunks. Eventually, they became known as ditty bags, and they're still a great way to keep things close at hand. Whenever we go to our boat, the beach, or just on a picnic, my ditty bag goes with me and contains everything I might not even know I need. My ditty bag is about 6 inches by 12 inches with a zipper from end to end. Made from heavy material, it has carrying handles on the top and end. In-side are pockets and a plastic sleeve to hold papers. Outside is a zipper pocket to hold keys or money. The modern design is more like a duffle bag and is easier to access via that long zipper. A small backpack will also fit the bill, as long as it's reserved just for this purpose.

During the 40-plus years that my wife and I lived aboard our houseboat, powerboats, and sailboats big and small, I've carried a ditty bag pretty much every time I leave the boat, and it's saved my bacon many times. Inside mine is:

A Ditty Bag For Modern Boaters

Personal locator beacon Carry anything you don't want to get wet inside re-sealable bags. Luckily, when we were locked out of our boat, we could open the companionway because I'd hidden an extra key, attached with a screw beneath an outside hatch. In my handy ditty bag was a screwdriver, and in minutes we were below enjoying those cold drinks.
