Greetings Mates. Memorial Dayis here and the summer weatherhas come along with it. This iswhen we appreciate our biminisand the fans that we have in-stalled everywhere down below.

Our San Tweenie cruise/racewas a great success with PromNight at Tween Waters and avery interesting Race back. OurSailors had a great chance to

practice their upwind sailing skills having to beat intotwenty knots for twenty miles. Thanks Diane andRay for organizing the fun at Tween Waters andOffshore Sailing School for handling the start of therace back.

The following weekend there was a great turnout forthe Jerry Pim Me-morial EstebelNight Race. Eve-ryone was treatedto a moonlit nighton the water andserene conditions.What a gorgeousarea we live in.The next morningmany of the racersgathered at the CCYC Pavilion for Bloody Mary’ssupplied by the Pim Family – Thank You – and awonderful brunch. Many thanks to some of ourwonderful members (Vetters, Duffs, Pims, Stiers)who jumped in to help at the last minute in the ab-sence of Joe and Jennifer Barch, due to a Barchfamily emergency.

Memorial Day weekend, many of our boats areheaded up to Pelican Bay and Danger Island. I un-derstand that there is a tradition that calls for manyboats from surrounding areas like Punta Gorda,Pine Island and Charlotte Harbor to also convenethere. It should be quite a celebration!

Looking ahead, on Saturday, June 6, Diane Fowleris planning our annual Ladies Day Race. This is achance for our female skippers and crews to get outthere and show off their Sailing skills without hin-drance from the men. I am eager to hear how itturns out.

On the administrative side of things, we are almostready to bring our updated Bylaws to you for yourapproval. Be expecting a notice. We are still work-ing on the idea of the club accepting Credit Cardsand will have a report on that soon as well.

It is already time to start thinking about who ourSlate of Officers, Board Members and CommitteeHeads will be for 2016. Please be thinking abouthow you might step up and take some responsibilityfor helping run the club. Everyone should take aturn at something. The club runs smoother, hasmore camaraderie and more fun the more new peo-ple who get involved.

Rear Commodore of Cruising’s Report

We had 25 +/- boats up inPelican Bay this past week-end. So far this year we havehad 54 different boats partici-pate in at least one cruise.So the trivia question is –Through the Danger Islandcruise, have we had moreboats with ‘Sea’ in theirname participate or moreboats with ‘Wind’? The nextquestion is if you haven’t

gotten your boat out there, why not?

San Tweenie- Thanks to Diane and Ray for chaper-oning Prom. Check out photos on the CMCS Shut-terfly site. Hard to believe we clean up so well. Afull report from Diane is elsewhere. I left the pricetag on my goodwill suit so I could return it but now itcarries such memories…..

DANGER ISLAND – Memorial Day Weekend –Pelican Bay. It was great between the squalls. Asmuch as the rain was a pain, it really cooled thingsoff for great sleeping every night. Again a full reportof the Danger is elsewhere. Thanks to all whohelped. We raised a few bucks to help on the island.And Dora, our new dinghy, performed admirablyfully loaded in raging seas.

Fisherman’s Village- June 18-21. Bev Duff is lead-ing the charge north to enjoy the charms of PuntaGorda. See the plug elsewhere.

July 4th- 50/50 cruise. Or we could call this theinnie/outie cruise. Some wanted to be cozy innie theCape Coral Yacht basin, some wanted to be outieanchored out by the Cape Coral Bridge close to theaction. SO we will do both. Actually, we have to doboth as Jim Lasorella reports a limited number ofslips. Gary Blessing is the head outie- Think short,fun, informal and south of the Cape Coral Bridge toinclude our big sticks. We’ll get the innies and theouties together for breakfast on the 5th.So if you are an innie- contact Jim Lasorella to geton his ‘limited space available’ list(james_lasorella@hotmail.com );if you are an outie, let Gary know(lanciabeta@hotmail.com )

Rear Commodore of Racing’s ReportMay was a great month forracing with 2 races beingheld.

In conjunction with the San'Tweenie Cruise, our firstdistance race of the year,the San 'Tweenie Race washeld on May 3. This was achallenging race with strongand blustery winds of 15knots with occasional 20

knot gust. With the wind out of the Southeast, muchof the race was to windward, making for wet andexciting sailing. We owe great thanks to Kim Brownon TRUST ME for getting us off to a good start, andStan Dale aboard MARK 1:17 for being the finishboat. TRIUMPH, with Eric Soronen on at the helm,was the first to finish and won the multihull class. InSpinnaker class, NURDLE took first but only afterdemonstrating great broaching ability under thechute, Diane Fowler aboard WINDY CITY in hotpursuit taking second. John Finnegan's MISSCATHLEEN had a great day, taking first in non-Spinnaker as well as first in fleet on corrected time.AIR SUPPLY with Steve Romaine and JAZZY withGary Blessing took second and third respectively.True Cruising had only a single boat finishing, TomHorner's BENTLEY, although Ian Davis aboardWIND STAR did provide some competition prior towithdrawing.

The following Saturday, May 9, our annual JerryPim Memorial Estebel Night Race was held. Thiswas the second distance race of the year. We hadbeautiful sailing at the start with fair winds at 10knots dying out a bit just around sunset but thenpicking up for a nice finish. Without a volunteer forrace committee, NURDLE served as the start boatprior to pulling anchor and competing, and the com-petitors finished themselves. Multihull class had twoboats with TRIUMPH taking first over Art Monahan'sKRAKEN. Spinnaker class was lonely with justNURDLE who took a TLE, 8 minutes late over thefinish line. Non-Spinnaker was won by MISSCATHLEEN with JAZZY in second and ForrestBanks' MIDNIGHT RIDER dropping out when thewind died. True cruising class hosted two new rac-ers. I made a decision to suspend the time limit forTrue Cruising class in accordance with the wishesof the competitors, none of whom finished within thetime limit. SAIL LA VIE with Mark Beauvois at thehelm, took first with Jason Pim aboard GOPHERBAROQUE coming in second with Will Crane's newCOURTESAN hanging on for third place before anexciting trip home. Bill Misenheimer on boardBAREFEET abandoned the race due to the lightwinds and late hour.

Tween Waters Cruise ReportThey call it the SENIOR prom for a reason!!

May 1st and 2nd was enjoyed by 18 CMCS boatsand a number of land cruisers. Tween Watershosted all of us, with a few raft-offs to round out themarina. Fabulous 80-something degree weathertopped it all off.

Friday, these boats arrived: SilverSeas, Ambiance,Windy City, Chase the Clouds, Sail la Vie, Air Sup-ply, Buffy, Hypnautic, no name trawler, Mischief (thenew 48' trawler everyone drooled over), and KestrelII. Although there was no formal pot luck/ happyhour; our trained partiers had a get together at 5pmanyway. Windy City hosted past Commodore Rus-sell Vance and Kathleen. We borrowed Mischief'sdinghy to head down to the Green Flash for a deli-cious dinner. The men's room there is always goodfor a laugh.

Then, Saturday morning, we awoke to a crisp 67degrees. Some of us beach walked. Low tide en-couraged the Sanibel Stoop to collect interestingseashells. Tween Waters dockmaster, Harry,made sure his golf cart arrived with an additional 20folding chairs to accommodate our growinggroup. More club boats arrived: Trust Me, 14 Trac-tors, Miss Cathleen, Gone with the Wind, Jazzy,Windstar, and Tanglefoot. Relaxation continuedpoolside or on the beach. The potluck dinner waswell attended and the dishes were surprisingly dif-ferent.

"It takes a village" to decorate! Found at garagesale: 8' white metal arch with hundreds of twinklinglights. In the box - ready for assembly! Since thiswas clearly a BLUE job; The MEN in our grouparose to thecall andworked to-gether to as-semble it,blow up bal-loons, at-tached, hungcolorful flagsthat spelledout CMCS,duct taped aburgee overthe arch forphotos, plugged in the extension cord to make it allwork! Walking by, I mentioned to the guys, "I loveto see men working. Turns me on". An unknownvoice yelled back, "I have a tool belt on the boat ifyou REALLY want to get worked up!" Such a senseof humor - these men!

Tween Waters Cruise Report—Cont’d.

THEN, after dinner/ happy hour - all returned to theirboats and got outfitted for the PROM! DJ Ray wason hand to make formal announcements, customizethe music, and keep everyone laughing and danc-ing. After "The Stroll", the 4secret judges: Glen Vetter,Bev Slager, ??? (help me,Kim - cannot remember)voted and decided to crownBev Duff and Steve Romaineas the PROM KING &QUEEN. Special mention toour runners up: RodgerPfeiffenberger and ??? JoBeauvois? Seth Barchsported a new look in headwear. Since everyoneaboard Mischief was wearing hats to the party, andSeth had no hat, he settled for wearing his colorfulprint underwear on his head! Very creative, Seth.

BIG FUN and a ton of laughs had by all. See Shut-terfly for photos. For those of you who misseddressing up.... the Drag Queen Contest is rightaround the corner on Saturday, June 6. Get youroutfits READY!!!

Danger Island Report

Who would have thought you could get 3 cool, lightbreeze, no bug nights in a row in Pelican Bay thistime of year? Ofcourse there wasDanger to be had:An escaped dinghy,dragging anchors,overheated electri-cal (as in smoking),generators thatwouldn’t start, cap-sized sunfish andfour good squallsblasting through theanchorage in 3days. Thanks Mis-chief for giving safeharbor to the idiotsamong us who wereon spit setting up for Chowder when the secondsquall line moved through Saturday. But I am get-ting ahead of myself. Thanks first to Jim Lasorellafor hosting the ‘pre-cruise’ happy hour aboard FourSeasons Thursday evening for the early arrivals.The bulk of the fleet arrived Friday and Saturday. In

the end I have 25boats on my list:Alborada, Ambi-ance, Ariel, Bare-feet, Blank Check,Chase the Clouds,Desperado, FourSeasons, Gonewith the Wind, Go-pher Baroque,Grateful, I Sheet U

Knot, Jolly Mon, Jo’s Boat, Judy Judy, Kestrel II,Mischief, Never Say Never, Sea Puppy, Silver Sea,Stray Cat, Tanglefoot, TrustMe!!!, Wind Dancer.Not only did I run out of fingers and toes but the listgot wet in the squalls. So if I missed someone in thecomings and goings, my apologies and let me know.Friday night we gathered on the spit- ate, drank,made merry and

hightailed it back to our boats just in time. Saturdaysaw the Admiral de Croquet Bev Duff directing herminions (Bob and Cliff Dean) in the construction ofthe finest links croquet course on Cayo Costa.There were subtle and not so subtle terrain issues.Natural vegetation dotted the raked shell. In the endthere were 30 that rose to the challenge. After 5preliminary and 1 final round, the man with the localknowledge gained raking the course won. Bob Duffis the 2015 Black Tie Croquet Champion. DaveMarz and Danny Hazen were runners up. GeorgeNoyes was Admiral de fer a Cheval. He was ablyassisted by Steve Beringer. But it was hot, and theathletically inclined had already left all they had outon the croquet field so we decided to have a squallinstead. Most made itback to their boats.Those that did not de-bated whether or not itwas hail or just bigdrops. After the squallpassed, the bold (the experienced knew better) re-turned to the Spit to prepare for Chowder only to bechased off by the next squall. This was not the yearto build an extravagant chowder mansion of card-board. A rain delay was announced in the height ofthe tempest…..Sunday posed another challenge.While we intended to go back to the spit for lunch, itwas overrun with Tarpon Fishermen fresh from atourney that morning. So with some confusion (mybad) we moved to Dog Beach. Gopher needed tolighten ship of leftover Bloody Mary stores.Never let it be said the CMCS’ers are not willing tohelp a fellow member. The rain delayed Chowdercontest finally got underway about 5-6pm- thingswere getting a bit vague at that point. As you know,the only rule is if you say it is chowder it is. Georgeand Pixie pushed the concept a bit with chunks ofsteak but they said it was ‘chowdah’. We weren’tsure if that was the same as chowder but it wastasty so it passed. Folks were flashing more $1 billsthan in a strip joint as they voted for their favorites.In the end Wind Dancer’s “Florida Spicy’ walkedaway with the 2015 Chowder Grand Prize. CarolPim’s Cookie Chowder was second- helped nodoubt by her granddaughters hustling for her. OurYellow Snow Chowder came in a piss poor third.Thanks all for ‘adapting’. All the chowders weretasty. All the sailors were well fed and all made itback to their boats before the evening’s squall. Inthe end we raised $135 for the ‘Friends of CayoCosta’. Not too shabby given the rain out. Andfinally thanks to Gordon and his crew for taking outthe trash. Always take out more than you bring in.
