Due to the cool, wet spring weather and the COVID-19 issues, we have lots of boats in the gravel area and dry sail areas. Members are asked to put their boats in the water as soon as practical. Please park empty trailers in the parking area across from the clubhouse, as the usual trailer parking area is too wet and muddy. AND, please make sure your name is on the trailer tongue.
Use the same dock as you had last year, unless you want/need to change docks.
Call dock master to reserve hoist. 419-203-5452
Thanks,

Commodore Spring Announcement
Commodore’s Update May 15, 2020
A few notes to go along with the first Wind & Waves of 2020. Our Memorial Day Social events are still cancelled, since I cannot find anything that says “Social Clubs” can be open. Right now it appears first of June. However the Ohio Governor announced campgrounds can re-open May 21, which means campers can be on our property – subject however to rules on social distancing & sanitation. The Grill is propaned. I will have purchased a bunch of spray bottles & such for around the club. As to Racing – Fleet Captain Doug Drury is working on launching the Committee Boat and new buoys', but we need members to race. We can always postpone the Commodore’s Regatta until I have the best chance to win.
For those around the facilities through first of June (when I expect social clubs can again be open) – I have placed a sign on the main entrances on guidelines for everyone. Nothing especially new vs signs you have seen elsewhere. DO remember lots of views exist as to what can & cannot be done vs the Covid and other disease exist so be patient and respectful to each other. Best to leave the debate for who has the slowest boat. Note also the WIFI is on but no cable. Roku works at TV. I am working to hook up the antenna for local stuff.
No restrictions on launching boats, so have at it. It’s still tight out back, so get your boat out of there if you can. No penalties for winter storage taking space this year, so no worries there. Dockmaster Jim Hepp in charge. We have several new members signing up this year and we’ll get their pictures up and hopefully welcome them in the June 7 general meeting. Which at this point we’ll hold outside and probably forego the potluck. Stay tuned!
Any ideas, comments, suggestions to pgfuerst@gmail.com or 419-890-5259. Lastly, my youngest daughter gets married May 23rd. I will be a mess.

SMBC's "To-do short list" helps the club
The Board of Governors wish to thank its members for all the help that was given this year to accomplish the many items on the Club's to-do list. With members like you the St. Marys Boat Club becomes better each year. Every task completed by a member makes the club better for other members and potential new members. After all, SMBC is a second home for many of us during the summer.
Thanks again!
