Toledo Sailing Club Bus Trip Visit:

Toledo Sailing Club’s bus arrived at noon on Saturday March 11th

Toledo Sailing Club visited our clubhouse on 3/11. The bus was full of 50 boaters. It was a great time with great people. We received a lot of comments about our clubhouse, they bought shirts and stickers from our ship store, We bought a 6’ sub and some liquor for shots, we had a donation box and the donations covered our cost.

TSC is about ½ power and ½ pontoon boats, located near the Toledo Zoo. We are welcome to their club anytime!

Thank you to Joe Szabo, Brian Homer, John Gray, Margee and Don Gross, and Benjamin Lowein.

HBYC Entertained 50 people during their visit

Toledo Sailing Club had a blast at the HBYC!

Middle Bass Island Marina group reservations changes:

This is HOT HOT off the press. There are big differences in how Middle Bass State Park Marina is taking reservations this year.

Docks need to be prepaid
Price is by the dock length not the foot
And only 5 reservations can be made at one time.

If you want to go to the Middle Bass Music Fest or any cruise please send in your cruise form ASAP.

This information is less than a week old, We are working on how we will adjust to this new reservation system. May 1st is the first day that they will take reservations. More Details to follow.

Marina report:

Again the open house was a hit for us and the marina. Jared thanked us for our involvement, and we welcome our new members who signed up at this event!

- HBYC Green Space

Weather depending, the asphalt in front of the marina may get torn up this spring, to make way for the new HBYC green space. As with all growth and progress, construction is a pathway to success! Stay tuned for updates.

- Future Lease

As Jared has mentioned on several occasions, HBYC will have a renewed lease. In February, Brenda and I presented a written proposed lease to Jared in an attempt to secure a signed lease before boating season. Jared informed that he would not be presenting a lease until August so he would have time to see if HBYC involvement stayed on the same current trajectory. We replied with a written letter, stating that we felt that waiting until August would create a feeling of unrest to our members. When we talked again in March, Jared stated that we will have a lease, and confirmed that this will be a 24/7 summer lease, but he is going to wait until August to present the lease. He has shared several compliments on the improved communication between HBYC and SHM and also our increased involvement in working with the marina, recently the Open House. I realize this wait is stressful to all HBYC members and that angst has been communicated to Jared.

We have also communicated that HBYC is the glue that creates long term SHM Dockers. We have stood the test of time with many different managers and owners and we are here to stay. Besides our great clubhouse, cruising schedule, racing schedule, socials, and ILYA and AYC membership, HBYC has a lot to offer to our members. The long-term lasting friendships, shared wisdom, and always a helpful hand are priceless.
