Port Captain Report Feb 2023

Get your moorage request filled out. This year it is all on line. You will find the link

https://www.eugeneyachtclub.org/members-area/

They are due by the 19th of March – file early and avoid the rush. There are several items that you will need to be aware of:

1) You will need your password to log in (gate code)

2) Step 1 is a google map of the club with the moorage location of all the slips remember that this map is only updated once a year when I submit moorage after the closing of the request period. And after that people ask to move and new members request moorage so it may not be up to date, but the list at the YotPot will be as current as the month that I printed.

3) Step 2 is the most important form “KEEP MOORAGE THE SAME” this form is use by all who wish to keep their current moorage or to change their moorage. Fill this form and to keep all the same then select the YES radio button OR to change your moorage location by using the comment field to request a new location for one or more moorage selection or Select NO to drop a moorage for this year. Remember if you do this you will lose your moorage location and you need to remove your watercraft off the grounds and if someone request your old slip it will be issued to them.

4) The last form is for new moorage or new boat ownership select the “REQUEST FOR NEW MOORAGE” and fill out the form completely with all the pertinent information, also if you sold then purchased a new watercraft and wish to use your old slip then use this form so I have the new boat OR numbers and in the do you have a moorage location preference list you old moorage and also tell me where or who you sold your old watercraft be it member or non-member so I can flag it correctly.

If to a member please include their name.

But if you did not pay for your wet moorage but only for storage last year you will see that your moorage spot will be row J. If this is the case you will need to complete a moorage request “KEEP MOORAGE THE SAME” and select the Yes radio button then in the note area of the form request where you would like to move your moorage location and if I have any open slip in that area I will issue moorage and will contact you by email.

If you are a new member requesting moorage you will need to fill out a moorage

request “ REQUEST FOR NEW MOORAGE”

As last year, this year we will have EYC stickers for all watercraft that do not need an OR number. So if you do not have OR numbers on your watercraft (paddleboards, Kayaks, and/or canoes) then you will need to contact me and get an moorage sticker. It will be an EYC burgee with a number in the center it will need to be affix to the watercraft on the bow on top or on the starboard side at the bow. If a watercraft does not have a moorage sticker and the Port Captain finds said watercraft he will lock it up and then you will need to deal with ME to retrieve your board, boat, or whatever. And remember that I may not be at the club when you would like to use your watercraft and if on a motorcycle trip it maybe a day or more before I get back.

Please use the request for new moorage form for an EYC sticker You may wish to check your traps and covers. I know that my top cover had peeled off when I checked it at the end of January. And it was on the lee-side of the boat. So check your covers and do not be depressed this spring when you go to launch your boat and it look like it had sunk on shore and the mosquitoes have turn it into their private nursery, or the mold is so thick that you need to fill out an EPA form for destruction of a habitat.
