A Message from

Stu Finn Commodore 2016-2018

Dear Members,

The fall is coming to an end and

winter will soon be upon us. This was a

rough season for the boating community

due to the weather, although some of our

members had a chance to get out and hit

the high seas despite it. With that being

said, we still had a fun filled year.

The season started off thanks to our

Special Events Committee, Linda Anders,

Patsy Booth, Rita Cohen, and Carol Finn,

with a brunch on the mountaintop of Mt.

Fuji followed by raft ups, potlucks, our

June regatta, a night at the Boulders, La-

bor Day festivities, a fall cruise to Nyack,

Commodore’s Ball and ending finally with

our Holiday Party on December 8, 2018.

Lastly, I want to thank everyone for

their participation and a special thanks to

the officers and board members of the

club for working with me and helping me

through these last two years as commo-

dore.

Wishing you all a Happy Holiday.

Stu

A Message from

Chuck Booth New Commodore takes the helm

Hi To All My Fellow Yacht Clubbers!

It is with great pride and enthusiasm

that I begin my role as your new

Commodore. Hopefully, we will be able to

recruit more boaters to join us. It’s a

Challenge, but I know we can meet it. Please

contact our Membership Chairman, Rich

Thabit, with any recruitment ideas. We also

need one of our great members to step up to

the role of Rear Commodore. Vice

Commodore Jeff Anders can give you the

lowdown on that position. If the woes of

winter start getting you down, just keep

thinking of the warm sunny breezes and with

any luck low fuel prices in our season ahead.

Chuck Booth, Commodore

On Friday September 20,2018 four sailboats, Cloudspin,

Three Sheets, On the Wing, and Cee-Sea, and a powerboat, Fire

Escape, set course for Nyack Yacht Club. Several power boaters

hitched a ride aboard Cee-Sea to see how fast a sailboat can go.

The Nyack boat club launch picked us up for an evening on the

town. Dinner at the Brickhouse was the plan. Once outside the

gates of the yacht club the excitement began. Lo and behold

there were movie trucks set up all along the street. I stopped and

asked what was being filmed and was told it was Showtime ‘s Ray

Donavan. My heart started to pick up speed at the thought of

Liev Schreiber filming close by. I wasn’t prepared for what was

coming. The street we chose to walk on was abustle with action.

As I approached the middle of the block, my heart stopped along

with my feet. Standing in front of me was “Ray.”I didn’t want to

look too excited, but felt it hard to catch my breath as I strug-

gled to stroll past. Visions of him in his black fitted tee shirt

would cloud my head for the rest of the night and weeks to come.

Dinner was fun, but my mind kept drifting back to “Ray”and the

walk back to the club. “Would they still be filming,” kept running

through my mind. Well they were. Once again as we approached

the set, I saw a group of three men standing about. This time it

was Jon Voight ! As I passed by, I managed to sneak out, “Jon I

love your show!” to which he gave me a big smile and said Thank

you ! My night was made! As the boat bounced back and forth

throughout the night visions of Ray and Mickey danced through

my head.
