It will be great eventually but a hectic summer of parking expected. 
Attached is a sketch showing the proposed parking restrictions for the pier forecourt area.  A couple of points to note are that on Schnapper Point Dve trailer parking will be banned up to Flinders Dve and all existing unrestricted parking between the forecourt car park and the trailer car park (around the Yacht Club) will remain unrestricted.  The restrictions are likely to be installed in early-mid December.

Friday the 13th Trivia Night

17/11/2015

 
60 guests, 8 tables competed in this years MYC Trivia Night. The theme was Friday the 13th and the room looked superb with Flowers , vases, ladders , cats tails and cob webs thanks to Jen Martin and Kerry Larder. Not only were they wonderful decorators but also excellent Salad Makers and Chocolate for dessert.  The Rocks served extremely tasty servings of Lasagna  and they must have been close to winning a Guinness Book of records for the largest Lasagne servings ever. The best eater surprisingly went to Office Manager Sarah Grant who was the only one to finish with a clean plate.

Scott our Trivia MC set up  5 rounds of 10 questions each on  various topics.  The "Multiscoregasms" soon found out that MYC Treasurer Jon Phillips was a music maestro and his wife Anne a Movie Buff. What a great couple!  Steve Bardsley and his team of "we are doomed" started very well  on Geography and the Lucky Dip.

Kerry and her table were bopping to You Sexy Thing by Hot Chocolate as we  learnt new facts. Did you know:
Billy Joel is older than Phil Collins.
Africa has more countries than Europe.
SA is larger in area than NSW
Family Membership at MYC is $936.  Not Sarah or Rod in the office.
Hawaii has 8 main islands.
​A condor is an animal

The winners were  Greg and Jen Martins's family and friends who won on the last quiz of the night getting right the height of Uluru at 348 mtrs.

The Trivia Night was fun and will be back again in 2016. An MYC perpetual trophy for the winning table is to be donated to the club.

Div.1 ,2,3 Aggregate Series Race 3 Saturday 14 Nov 2015

17/11/2015

 
A message from the Rear Commodore:

The sinking of Adios was an unfortunate and sad day for MYC.  From my current understanding the situation was well handled by all involved. Hasta La Vista on port tack went to dip Adios and end up go through starboard tack Adios. The boats got tangled Adios got main down, personal gear off and crew stepped on to Hasta la Vista, then Adios sunk, all persons safe and without injury.
Retriever, Sara and coast guard on site.
A May Day call was made from an MYC third party boat that was standing by , some discussion was had about whether that was appropriate and by all  accounts it was the correct call.
We had Sara drop a buoy in the area, but am now aware that GPS fix was taken so will pick up that buoy this morning.  Incident reports, protest forms and coast guard forms filled out.

In term of MYC Rescue boats. Thank you immensely to John Mills, Tania Lawton and Jim Watson Windsong crew on  duty. Windsong Crew were down on time with a smile, 5 people. One tower, one start boat 3 on Sara. Their complete assistance to John And Tanya made for a  fantastic days sailing. On behalf of the all those sailing yesterday big thanks to JIM and his crew.

Chris Jackson

 Adios owned Geoffrey Hancock and his crew of  two past commodores Greg Martin and Noel Heyes were on board and safely taken off the sinking yacht onto Hasta La Vista and then back to shore. Whilst it was unfortunate incident they crew were still in high spirits knowing all were safe.  The boat is still at the bottom of the sea and expected to be retrieved asap.

​For the other 17  x Div .1 , 2 and 3 the racing continues and the Race 3 winners were:

Div 1. Anna - Peter DeLange
Div. 2  YT2 - Stuart Gooley
Div 3. Just another Toy - David Blennerhassett.
