Come See and Hear this Fearless Duo Tell Their Tales of Thrills, Adventure and Discoveries!
Alan and Linda Sandlin spent three weeks touring Ecuador and the Galapagos, boating, hiking, snorkeling and examining up close and personal, the people and these desolate Islands filled with uniquely adapted birds and animals. Boaters Night Wednesday, June 2 Burgee Bar Happy Hour at 6pm • Dinner Upstairs at 7pm The Galapagos’ isolated terrain shelters 192 endemic species of plants and animals found nowhere else in the world. Discovered in the 1500’s and often occupied by pirates and whalers during the 1700 and 1800s used the Islands to re- provision fresh water and even capture the huge land tortoises as a meat supply. Charles Darwin visited there in 1835 on the now famous voyage of HMS Beagle. His detailed observation of the incredible adaptations of plants and animals in this wild isolated island later inspired his theory of evolution. This is a rare treat – don’t miss it!

There’s a Daytime Activity for Everyone at MIYC! A q u a f i t a t M I Y C Aquafit classes take place at the MIMA pool at 10 am on Tuesday, Saturday, Sunday and at 1 pm on Thursday . Don't miss this opportunity to enjoy water aerobics - a low-impact activity that takes the pressure off your bones, joints and muscles. Water also offers natural resistance, which can help strengthen your muscles and you can add resistance devices to burn more calories! Exercising in the pool provides the toning and cardiovascular benefits of exercise on dry land with less strain and stress plus it allows for a greater range of motion helping with flexibility and balance. And most importantly, it is enjoyable fun! As with any other exercise routine, just be certain you get medical clearance from your health care provider before taking the plunge. Contact Summer Coordinator Kimberly Porter at k.korbporter58@gmail.com with questions.

Chairman I think the hectic pace of the last few months is starting to slow down. Many of our members headed back north at the end of May. The amount of traffic on the island is less hectic. And, we have been blessed by absolutely perfect weather for the past few weeks! Summer is also a great opportunity for year-round residents to sample other local Clubs through the Summer Reciprocal program. Check out the summer reciprocal listing in the Anchorlines. Through this program, participating local Clubs welcome members of other participating Clubs for dining. It is important to note that access beyond dining is not available
at all Clubs. For example, at MIYC we certainly welcome reciprocal club members for dining at our Club. However, reciprocal members are not eligible for other MIYC club activities (like water aerobics, on-water cruise events, ladies canasta, couples bridge, etc.) Reservations for use of other clubs in the summer reciprocal program must be made with the participating club. Meanwhile, our planned improvements at the Club continue to move forward. The preparation for conversion to Northstar passed a significant milestone in late May. We moved the Jonas operating system to our older (slower) server. This allows us to have a permanent home for historical data. Northstar was loaded onto our newer (and faster) server. In addition, the initial load of data and file formats for the Northstar system was uploaded. This is an important step as we can now begin to have screens and report capability developed in the new system. We will have Northstar personnel on site for the last week of July and the first week of August to manage the final transition to the new system. We also visited some Clubs using Northstar and were able to see much of the system 'in action'. Marina construction continues with the fixed dock section nearly complete. The dredging crew has nearly completed their work. I have had quite a few members comment that they observed the dredge excavator putting material back in the water. This is because we have a permitted dredge depth. As they near completion of the dredging work, the crew is doing final measurements of the depths. In a few places, we must add material back and in other places some additional material is removed. The floating docks are scheduled to arrive at the end of May. This is an exciting time, as the overall perimeter of the marina will begin to take shape. You can watch the work live on our Marina Webcam. We have also begun soliciting quotes from landscape firms and working on modifications to the Clubhouse to facilitate more storage space, more office space and a dockmaster office area. We have enjoyed a return of banquet business in the past month or so, and it is good to see the Club being busy again! Member oriented activity is adjusting to our normal summer season pace, and dining hours are now on a summer schedule as well. However, for those of us that spend our summers on Marco, the Club remains a great place to dine and have a drink with friends. Importantly, happy hour on Friday evening is rapidly returning to pre-COVID attendance levels. As always, I look forward to seeing you at the Club! Dave Everitt 13
Commodore As we enter the quieter months of summer, I want to thank everyone for their understanding and support throughout the first half of this unique season. Although the pandemic forced us to make some adjustments, I’m pleased we were able to safely conduct and enjoy all of our usual Bridge related activities and events. Moving forward, as daily life continues to edge closer to normalcy, it’s exciting to anticipate full member participation in all of the fun activities your Bridge has planned for the rest of this year and beyond. I especially want to thank the members of this year’s Bridge for their flexibility and creative approaches to make good things happen under difficult circumstances. There are lots of boating activities on the schedule over the summer, so if you’re here please check out the Cruising Schedule and club calendar. Of particular note are: • June7- Day Cruise to Naples Yacht Club - Jeff Comeaux, Cruise Captain • July 3-5- Extended Cruise to Legacy Harbour - Ray Rosenberg, Cruise Captain • July 9-11 - Florida Yacht Club • Aug 30 -Sept 12 – AMA French Cruise, Barcelona to Paris – Jim Rich, Cruise Captain Manyof you knowthat Cindaand I havea summerhomein Michiganand related issues requiring a physical presence, while I will remain virtually engaged. Havea fun, healthy and safe summer! TomWentworth- Vice Commodoreand HenryStanley- Rear Commodorewill be here to attendto any

Member Events
The summer season is upon us and plans are in place for a fun- filled time. May 1 was the best attended Hats and Horses event in the past 5 years. Nearly 120 Members and guests arrived bedecked in elegant hats and dapper race wear. This year, Deb Wiebe and Val Bilbrey oversaw the plans for Hats and Horses along with Angela and Jon Holt of the Mariners Fund. Ellie Everitt turned over her notes from spearheading this event with Nancy Traiser in the past, and Deb and Val ran with the ball. The result was a rousing success.
Angela Holt
This year, Gillian and Dan McElaney were presented a bouqu et of red roses and a boutonniere to honor their continued support of the event. The prize money was donated by Gillian and Dan allowing the Mariners Fund to keep the entire proceeds of the sale of race forms. The Mariners Fund committee members oversaw the sale of race forms as well as the commemorative bricks which will be used as a pathway from the club to the new Marina. More than $6,000 was raised for the Mariner Fund from this event.
On July 2, there will be an Independence Day entertaining. Trivia is scheduled for July, as well.
P arty with Nevada Smith
Mark Felbinger met with Jon and me to interview new entertainers for the next season, so keep your eye out for the summer calendar and plan to have fun in the sun at the C lub.
Reservations Please! To help Chef and his staff to prepare and deliver exceptional meals and service, we ask that you place your reservation at least three (3) days in advance. For Special Events, we ask that you make your reservations and meal selections (if applicable) three (3) days in advance. Doing so is a tremendous help in making sure we have your choices on hand. As you know, Chef Bob will always honor vegan/vegetarian or special meal requests, but again, please provide that information in advance when making your reservation.

Marco IslandHistorical Museum Presentation about the Skiff restoration -- May 20, 2021
Roger Johnson, left, and Ron Rutledge, work to restore a pre- war, custom designed, hand-built skiff.
Picture of the repaired bow section of the skiff.
At the dinner following the historical society's skiff presentation this month, the
dessert created by Chef was in the shape of a little boat -- in honor of the evening's subject.

Membership Equity and Full Members, please be sure to pick up your member cards so that you can take full advantage of all the reciprocal clubs: FCYC, YCA and the summer reciprocals that are listed in this newsletter and are under MEMBER CENTRAL, then KEY DOCUMENTS on the private side of our website. All members, please be sure to also review the revised House Rules that are also updated in the KEY DOCUMENTS section on the website. Know that we have many reciprocal guests joining us from other Clubs so do introduce yourselves to these guests. Of note, reciprocal members of other clubs are only allowed to dine with us. They can participate in clubhouse events BUT they cannot join sunset cruise, golf, water aerobics, etc. Please do be welcoming to these guests if they are dining with us.
Thanks to all of you who joined us for our afternoon event featuring Marco Island Historical Society and the Goodland Skiff. If you have time, go over to see the skiff. It is pretty amazing, especially the work to restore it! This was an event suggested by the membership and everyone asked for more like it! I am eager to see the results of our Annual Membership Survey to see the new groups you’d like to see! We are working on finding a yoga instructor to get that back on the calendar as well as reactivating the Theater Group! Many of you have come to me to see if we could do an Art Group where we would visit Galleries and Museums, near and far! Personally, I want to watch and have lessons from those of you who are creative as I am not; but I can sure build a good spreadsheet or send an email. Other suggestions have been afternoon teas; I guess we all liked wearing our hats for Hats and Horses! As you know, this is my favorite part of this column, announcing all the new members and upgrades to our membership! Doug Bartlett & Tracy Miller joined us as Full Members in late April as well as Nigel & Maria Oddy recommended by Member Henry Truax. Following right behind these two couples were Keith & Ginger Byrd (MRM Bretthauer-Pointer) as Full Members and Linda & Wayne Carmignani , Full Members with a boat in MIMA. Steve & Pat Caldwell joined us as Full Non-Res Members and were able to join us at the May Wine & Dine before heading to Wyoming for the summer. Paul Rhines also returns to us as a Full Member. June & Tom Cooper are joining us as Social Members. Allen (aka Skip) & Elaine Merriam are returning to us accepting a Board offer in exchange for their Equity Membership. And, we have news that Maureen & Trevor Haworth will be returning to us in the Fall! Doctors Francesca & Andrew Rudin (MRM Cohens) along with Bob & Rebecca Brisbois (MRM Rosenberg-Spell) are our first Summer Trials checking out the Club and activities for fulltime membership! Remember, the offer is still available for upgrading to Equity at $12,000. If you are contemplating upgrading to an Equity Membership at your Club, NOW is the time! Feel free to contact me at vickib777@sbcglobal.net for more information. Please be sure to review the calendars that are included in the email blast with Anchorlines. Mark all the important dates for next season on your calendar NOW! Also, know that we are filling up membership so if you have friends whom you would like to recommend to the Club, be sure to have them join NOW! Our Summer Memberships are now available with a discount on joining fees if the Summer Member then joins the Club fulltime. I think many folks have decided with the pandemic that it is REALLY NICE to have a safe place to dine where everyone knows your name. Cheers! "#$%

Safety and Training
In this issue I will be discussing CARBON MONOXIDE: the invisible killer. Carbon Monoxide is an odorless, colorless gas that often goes undetected, striking victims caught off guard in their sleep. According to the CDC, more than 400 people in the U.S. die from unintentional carbon monoxide poisoning every year, while 20,000 others visit the emergency room, and 4000 others are hospitalized. This “invisible killer” is produced by burning fuel in cars, trucks, boats, grills, portable and commercial generators, and the like. When the gas builds up in enclosed spaces, people or animals who breathe it can be poisoned. Ventilation does not guarantee safety.
As of April 2019, the American Boat and Yacht Council now requires all new boats with gasoline inboards or generators to have a CO detector installed. It is important to have a CO detector designed specifically for marine use. These are calibrated at a different standard than those used for households. For those boaters using diesel fuel, it is true that a well-maintained engine will produce much less toxic exhaust compared to a gas engine. However, this does not mean that carbon monoxide, or even a similar gas -- carbon dioxide -- is not present in smaller quantities and dangerous. Many boaters have misconceptions about fuel fumes in the bilge or engine compartment. One is that the engine blower will eliminate dangerous fuel vapors prior to starting a gasoline engine. The fact is, any fuel leak can create fumes as quickly as the blower fan can clear them out, so the risk of explosion is always present, whether the blower is running or not. And although diesel vapors are not normally explosive, high concentrations can make you sick. In fact, atomized diesel fuel, as can come from an injector or other high-pressure leak, can be highly flammable or even explosive. Symptoms from Carbon Monoxide poisoning can include headaches, dizziness, weakness, upset stomach, vomiting, chest pain and confusion. If you breath in too much of this gas, it can make you pass out or even kill you! The potential for any fuel or other dangerous vapor in any part of your boat presents a risk serious enough to warrant the investment in appropriate fume detectors. Speaking about other toxins (the mild kind), for the first five people who contact me saying they have read this article, I will buy them and their significant other a drink at the Burgee Bar.
Until next time, Happy and Safe Boating! Jim Rich – Safety and Training Officer Catman1048@gmail.com 239-248-4166 NOTE: Parts of this article were referenced through Boat US and West Marine.

HOW CAN WE SERVE YOU BETTER?
Yes! The Suggestion Box is back! It is strategically located on the table by the Hostess Desk. Please contribute your ideas and comments. Good or bad, compliments and criticisms. We are the architects of our MIYC environment and experience. All information is appreciated. We Want Photos! When you’re at Club events (a cruise, dinner, member event), do you take photos? We would love to have you share them with us. You can upload to our Flickr page (login information is on the Member Central Home Page) or email them to photos@marcoislandyachtclub.net!

Marketing & Communications
Have you read the Anchorlines lately? I hope so! We have a “Forward Focus" look - moving information about activities scheduled in the coming month to the front of the newsletter - a way to "Save the Date" on your calendar. Don't worry - we still have lots of photos of members so you can see the fun everyone had at recent events. Articles and reports on the past month's activities are interspersed throughout, so you'll be able to keep up to date. As Dave mentioned in a recent email, we see an increase in member views, which indicates you like the new format. Another change is we will no longer include the Calendars in the actual Anchorlines . Each email announcing the new Anchorlines is available, and in the newsletter itself, there will be links to the monthly calendar, Seasonal Calendar, and Cruise Schedule. Doing this allows us to shorten the length of the newsletter, provide up-to-date information for those who want it, and you can quickly view them on any device and print if you'd like a hard copy. We're looking for someone to help manage our advertising and call on local businesses. If you'd like to help, please let me know! We're also busy working on developing the new website - it's going to be a busy summer for Communications! Michelle Hennessy Chair, Marketing & Communications Committee (mishyd1@comcast.net)

Henry Stanley
Center this month. For a special treat and a valuable development experience, if your grandchildren are visiting, call Dwyn Von Bereghy and sign them up for a few days at the school. They'll love it. Our Port Captain, Melanie Kraemer, will be away for the summer, so I am filling in for her to greet visiting FCYC boats stopping at the Marina. If anyone would like to volunteer to help me occasionally, please email me at henry_stanley@prodigy.net. I guarantee you will meet some very interesting people from other clubs! Have a great summer!

MIYC’s Community Outreach Recently, Our Daily Bread Food Pantry shared news of their first quarter: The Food Pantry had a wonderful 1 st Quarter 2021. They served an average of 15,000 guests per month via up to ten different outreaches per week – a 400% increase over 2020 ! Thanks to faithful and cheerful giving, (it must be cheerful giving when our Heroes give for months without being asked), our first quarter ended with donations at 104% of budget. The ongoing support from our community’s civic, social, and religious organizations continues to be inspiring. For this Spring Appeal, they had a $60,000 matching gift to double the impact of the donations! As they grow, so do their needs. Covid’s impacts are now showing up in greater food costs and a reduction in food donations. They trust in our ongoing generous support and the tireless efforts of an amazing group of volunteers. Together with their volunteers, they are working to wipe out hunger. The basket for Our Daily Bread Food Pantry donations is in the MIYC lobby so feel free to drop off items any time you are coming to the club. If you are not currently 'on island’, you can still send a donation to: Our Daily Bread Food Pantry
1450 Winterberry Drive Marco Island, FL 34145
Or you can click on this link to donate online.
Thanks to all of our members for your continued generosity to this local cause. Sincerely, Dwyn Von Bereghy MIYC Community Outreach

Mariners Fund The Mariners Fund is a way to finance extraordinary MIYC needs; things outside of the normal budget; Club enhancements that will make the member experience better and up to date. For example, the Burgee Bar renovation was made possible entirely by member donations. The bar was expanded, new drop-down window covers were installed and attractive curtains and valances were added. The Mariners Fund also paid to upgrade the Club’s sound system and supported the installation of a new dimmer system to enhance lighting in the Harbour Room. All these improvements were made possible by the generous support of our members. A donation to the Mariners Fund is a symbol of MIYC member commitment. How Can I Donate? You can make a general donation or donate for a specific project. We have identified a number of needs and wishes, which are listed in a binder just below the recognition plaque in the lobby. If you’d like to donate, please download the Mariners Fund Donation Form, on which you can indicate the project you wish to support, the amount of donation and how you wish to pay (separate check, credit card or Club monthly statement.) If there is something special you would like to see happen and would like to financially support, please let any member of the Mariners Fund Committee know. Mariners Fund Recognition Levels A Mariners Fund recognition plaque in the lobby hallway honors the cumulative contributions Members have made.

Your Reciprocal Privileges as a Member of a Florida Council of Yacht Club!
The Marco Island Yacht Club is one of 36 private, member owned yacht Clubs, stretching from Pensacola to Marathon to Jacksonville, that are members of the Florida Council of Yacht Clubs (FCYC). The Council’s mission is to encourage the sport of yachting, promote the science of seamanship and provide for the entertainment of its members and reciprocal member Clubs. In addition, FCYC provides guidance on Club operations, strategic planning, finance/IRS regulations and Club education. The FCYC also engages a full time Government Affairs Firm as watchdogs for all Florida boating and waterway issues. You can enjoy social and dining privileges as well as excellent marine facilities at any of the member Clubs; some Clubs offer golf and tennis as well. Here’s how you can begin enjoying the benefit of that reciprocity: Ø Locate a member Club you would like to visit by viewing all of the Clubs on the Council web site, www.floridacouncilofyatchClubs.com; click on FCYC, then Member Clubs Ø Review what each Club offers, check days and time of operation, and note contact information for dining or docking reservations. Ø You should call each Club directly so that nothing gets lost in the translation; always provide your MIYC membership number. Ø When you arrive, wear your MIYC name badge and present your MIYC membership card. All charges will be be billed back to your MIYC account, so be certain that your name and member number are correctly recorded. NOTE: Reciprocity is only for Full and Associate Members. There may be times of days when reservations will not be available, such as during special or member-only events. Some Clubs also have restrictions on the frequency of use. First night dockage is always free once every thirty days, but expect to pay a daily utility fee. Available slips at each Club are limited in number and size, so early reservations are key. Call before you go.
