I will be checking and billing any boat that are on the grounds for winter storage in the next week or two. Check page 17 of the handbook for rates, page 46, Article 5 section 4 of the by laws. If your boat is on the grounds when I check you will be billed FOR THE TOTAL WINTER STORAGE, and as in the past I am taking pictures of all boats on the grounds. There will be no prorating after EYC has billed. And please if you park on the island have your boat facing West, and your name and OR numbers on the tongue of your trailer. That way I will not need to remove your cover to read your OR numbers, this is a big issue with the cats so please check that you have your OR numbers on the trailer. And as the ground rules state you are to have your name on the tongue of your trailer.

If you have sold your boat to a member and have not contacted me you will be billed for the storage of the boat. Please send me an email telling me that you have sold your boat, and who is the new owner of your boats.

Remember to cover your boat to keep it dry and safe. Make sure your name an OR numbers are on your trailer so I do not have to mess up your cover.

Starting in December or maybe a little sooner we will start sailing RC one meters at Golden Ponds in the Bethel area.

Last but not least please check your docks and fingers to make sure that everything is still ok. It is a lot easier to do when the water is out. Also you may find that pair of pliers that you thought you had donated to the water god, and I can tell you he does not know how to take care of your tools.
