Ship Store
Our new online Ship Store is up and running and closes on May 28th. Click on this link HBYC 2023 to order your HBYC apparel soon! The online store will open for orders again next month and items will most likely vary each time. The company, Pelz Lettering, is local and there are no shipping costs if you choose to pick up your order at their location. Special thanks to Carla Smith for helping get this all coordinated and set up!
Website Membership roster
The 2023 membership roster has been uploaded to the secure member area of the website. There are also a few hard copies located at the clubhouse. Chris Malott did a great job.
For Sale & Free Items
A HBYC Facebook page has been created for boating items that members wish to sell or give away. Here is the link to the group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/151468127660239 We will no longer be using the club house to store these items. All existing unclaimed items in the club house will be taken to the dumpster or Goodwill before the next social.
Rear Commodore
Congratulations to our new Rear Commodore, Sean Leengran. Sean, and his wife Laura Bruschi, have a 40' Tartan named Portkey on F33. Be sure to stop by and introduce yourself when you get a chance.
Club House
Nick Lewis and Joe Szabo will split the responsibilities for club house chair. Jessie and Brian Homer will concentrate on the TV / music portion of the club house.
Membership
Sharon Meszaros will be taking over membership responsibilities. Thanks Brenda for your help with this transition, and for years of serving as the membership chair.
Commodore Brunch
Thanks to all that attended and supported the Commodore brunch held on April 15 at the Sandusky Yacht Club. It was a great event planned by Art Harden.
AYC Bus Tour
This was a great success. We visited Toledo Sail Club, Harbor View Yacht Club, and Nugent’s Canal Yacht Club. Every club was very welcoming and greeted us with lots of food, free drinks, and even a HBYC cake. WOW! Keep your eyes open for another Bus trip in the fall. Just not the same day as a meeting :)
Our First Membership Meeting
We pulled off our first 2023 membership meeting after the AYC bus trip. The next membership meeting is scheduled for June, 17th.
Potluck Social
The food, the decorations, the music. Thank you Jessie and all who helped put this great event together.
E-Dock will be hosting our next social on June 17, with Babes in Black returning to entertain us.
Cruising Trips Coming Up

Port Clinton Yacht Club Cruise June 9-10
Leamington, Canada June 30 to July 3

TV Update
The TV in the lounge room and the TV in the main salon just needs some adjustments and logged into our ESPN, Disney and Hulu apps, this will be done by the end of this week.
The TV in the kids/ study room needs the Chromecast remote. This is being donated By Jessie Homer, and the TV is being borrowed from me. This is so kids have a place to go and have fun away from the adults watching TV in the other two rooms.
The season’s just getting started, let’s make it a great one!
