We went here for a wedding and reception for one of my good friends. I didn't really have any expectations, good or bad. The club is right on the water and was in a beautiful location. My biggest disappointment was the service by the management. My friend was a bit frazzled, as brides generally are. The manager walked up to her while she was getting ready to tell her to make sure her guests walk through the bar area quietly and respectfully. I thought it was an odd request to make of the bride who was waiting upstairs to make her entrance. Whatever... She followed it by an off comment about the minister. I was pretty shocked. Shocked enough that it took a minute to realize that she actually said it. Later One of the guests was pooed on by a seagull and had to ask her three times for the bathroom. She ignored him the first two times and then snatched his suit coat out of his hands and said she would take care of it. It was returned with a comment about him trying not to be a jerk anymore. I'm not sure if this is common place for the club but I'm certain we would not use this venue nor suggest anyone else try. If the service wasn't bad enough, the kitchen was terrible. We were the third table excused to eat and the buffet was empty. They couldn't keep up with the guests. We finally got our food and the only edible food were the mashed potatoes. The steak had a spoiled taste and was similar in texture to shoe leather. The fish was thin and over cooked. I watched nearly every guest push the meat to the side of their plates. The servers didn't even ask how the food was. I think the knew. Needless to say, I wouldn't recommend eating here much less planning an important event such as a wedding.

Poor service, cold food, angry staff, and rude members. Need I say more. If you are thinking about having a wedding here just move on. If you are thinking about becomming a member here beware...they need membership money badly and will say whatever they need to to get you to join.

It's very frustrating to have a great experience spoiled over a petty dispute that most likely occurred because of a lack of communication. If I had to do it all over again I would have my wedding at the Dearborn Inn, which is a little less expensive and they include a honeymoon room for the night and also the champagne for toasting.

We had my daughters baby shower in the upstairs of the club. It was a gorgeous setting with the water view. It was a brunch and food was fabulous and the service could not have been better. The Manager was absolutely the best and made sure that everything was exactly the way that we had requested. Many of the out of town guests went down to the beautiful bar area after the shower for a few cocktails and were made to feel very welcomed and treated with the utmost respect. I would definitely recommend GIYC for any events.

WOW, June is here and summer is underway!<br />

J U N E 2 0 1 3<br />

By now, I’m sure everyone has noticed the aircraft carrier parked in<br />

the harbor. At least that is what it seems like! What an amazing parking<br />

job by that crew. <strong>The</strong> majority of the work on the new sea wall will<br />

be complete by the time this article goes out to our membership. I<br />

would just like to say thank you to our membership for being so patient<br />

during this construction. Some members have been impacted<br />

more than others but all have been very accommodating while our<br />

Fleet Captain and Board of Directors deal with this process.<br />

June will be a very active month. Saturday, June 1st will kick the<br />

month off with the Commodores Ball and the Island Fest Parade on<br />

the same day. <strong>The</strong> following week of June 7, 8 & 9th will be the<br />

Opening of the Island activities at Ford <strong>Yacht</strong> <strong>Club</strong> on Saturday. June<br />

14th 15th and 16th will be our first summer rendezvous at Put-in-Bay.<br />

Space at Put-in-Bay is limited so don’t delay registering for the<br />

rendezvous! Contact Chuck Grech [email protected] to get<br />

your boat registered.<br />

Later in June will also mark the 3rd Annual Leukemia Cup Regatta on<br />

June 29th. <strong>The</strong>re will be activities out on the water, but there will also<br />

be a cool (and free) party at the club with live music on the lawn<br />

between 3 and 7pm. Come on down to this free party and enjoy the<br />

day.<br />

Lastly, let me solicit the membership now for new leaders. Each year<br />

in the fall, our club holds elections for new officers for the Board of<br />

Directors and a new Commodore to represent GIYC throughout the<br />

area. If you would like to participate in this challenging yet rewarding<br />

opportunity, please contact me ASAP.<br />

Finally!! <strong>The</strong> weather broke and the harbor is filling up. OK, so there’s a<br />

100-foot barge and half of the south side of Peek-a-Boo under construction,<br />

but you’ll be seeing the new seawall and hopefully new docks in<br />

place by the time you’re reading this. This is a vital investment in our<br />

<strong>Club</strong>’s infrastructure, and will be followed by other harbor projects<br />

over the next months and years. It’s not been an easy task for your<br />

Board to deal with, and they deserve a lot of credit for tackling these<br />

tough issues.<br />

Our first summer rendezvous is coming up the weekend of June 14-16<br />

at Put-in-Bay. I hope to see a lot of you out there, as this is always a fun<br />

time, and the dockage at the Crew’s Nest and Miller Marina makes for<br />

an easy way to get around to visit all of our members.<br />

Through the efforts of Membership Chairman Larry Bagans, his Membership<br />

Committee, Sandy and the “Open House / Membership Drive”<br />

we welcomed 13 new members to the <strong>Club</strong> since the April Board meeting.<br />

To help you figure out who they are when you come down to the<br />

<strong>Club</strong>, Lady Lynne has crafted some “New Member Burgees” that will be<br />

placed at the member’s table. Please drop by, introduce yourself, and<br />

you’ll likely make a new friend.<br />

I hope you’ve been enjoying the occasional Friday night entertainment.<br />

Special thanks to Jenny Simon and P/C Bob Denning for their piano<br />

prowess, and to Brendan Lamb (<strong>Grosse</strong> <strong>Ile</strong> High School senior) for his<br />

guitar and singing. Watch for more to come over the next few months.<br />

See you at the club!<br />

On behalf of the entire membership at GIYC, I want to extend my sincere<br />

condolences Paula Wheeler and Todd Duffett on the passing of their<br />

mother Dorothy Duffett on March 14 th.<br />

It is almost Memorial Day, the seawall is progressing, the harbor is filling<br />

up and the Commodore’s Ball coming up quick. Have you made<br />

your reservations? This also means that the first rendezvous of the<br />

season to Put-in-Bay is approaching. You do not need to have a boat to<br />

attend this event. You can get to the island by riding with someone who<br />

is taking their boat or driving to Port Clinton and taking the Miller Ferry<br />

or Jet Express. <strong>The</strong>re are plenty of options for lodging on the island. I<br />

suggest making reservations at one of the lodging options if you are not<br />

staying on a boat.<br />

Next month the Fourth of July activities will start on Thursday, July 4 th<br />

and wrap up on Saturday, July 6 th. <strong>The</strong> theme for this year is Cajun /<br />

Swamp. <strong>The</strong> complete schedule is in this months spray.<br />

For those of you who remember Rick Springfield and Dennis DeYoung,<br />

DYC is having a concert at their facility on July 11 th. <strong>The</strong>re is a flyer at<br />

the entrance of GIYC for information on ordering tickets.<br />

Manager’s Report<br />

Dear Members,<br />

We caught some ladies doing good deeds! Lady Milkins, Lady Clark<br />

and Lady Hawkins were found early Sunday morning on May 19th<br />

planting planters full of flowers at the front docks and at the bar<br />

entrance doors, they look beautiful……..Thanks ladies.<br />

Well we can certainly put May and three weddings behind us and start<br />

concentrating on our Commodores Ball. <strong>The</strong> staff and I are all gear up<br />

for a wonderful themed Havana Nights Party.<br />

Commodore Muscat has a great committee heading up the LLS regatta,<br />

please join us for Brunch and dinner this day 8:00-12:00.<br />

Please refer to the club itinerary for our Fourth of July agenda.<br />

“Great People, Great Lakes, Great<br />

Times.” Thank you.

Fleet Captain<br />

Message From <strong>The</strong> Fleet<br />

We are now past the Spring Launch season and what a season it was! Could<br />

you ever have imagined a 103 foot barge making the turn into the west<br />

harbor? I was quite a sight to see when the Korneffel crew expertly maneuvered<br />

their equipment into place without any damage. And how about the<br />

weather? Quite the contrast with last year’s record breaking heat.<br />

<strong>The</strong> construction is moving along at an impressive pace. I’m anxiously<br />

awaiting the finished product and hope that by the time this is published it<br />

is complete and we are back to enjoying the harbor.<br />

In spite of the construction, launch is going along smoothly and I expect<br />

everyone will be in the water by the Commodore’s Ball if not sooner.<br />

As a reminder, well holders that did not occupy their wells at any time last<br />

year are subject to losing their assignment if the well is not occupied by the<br />

assigned boat by June 1 st. If you have a well assigned and sell your boat,<br />

even if you intend to keep your well, please notify the Fleet Captain.<br />

As we approach the boating season and plans for trips are firmed up, please<br />

drop me a note to let me know when your well will be vacated so guests can<br />

be accommodated and you can be certain your well will be open when you<br />

return.<br />

For those who plan to use the waters of the Great Lakes. Crossing over the<br />

US/Canadian Border, please consider the benefits of obtaining a NEXUS card<br />

to make reporting to both countries the least problematic possible. Everyone<br />

on your boat has to hold a NEXUS card for the system to work but it is<br />

well worth the time and money to obtain one to avoid the hassle and<br />

embarrassment associated with unauthorized border crossings that result<br />

in being stopped on the water. More on the Small Vessel Reporting System<br />

to come.<br />

<strong>The</strong> Fitting Out party didn’t happen as usual but a few members pitched in<br />

and an impromptu get together and fund raiser for the Leukemia &<br />

Lymphoma Society broke out. Thanks to everyone that contributed and<br />

donated to the cause. 2013 Fleet Captain, Todd Duffett

On Saturday, June 29 th the club will be hosting the Leukemia Cup Regatta. In<br />

addition to the traditional sailboat race, there will also be a predicted log<br />

competition for powerboats. Kicking off the regatta will be a breakfast buffet,<br />

followed by a competitors’ meeting. After the races, a band will provide live<br />

entertainment for all to enjoy. <strong>The</strong> Regatta will conclude with a buffet dinner<br />

and a silent auction. Please come down to the club to participate in the<br />

festivities and help raise funds for a worthy cause!<br />

On Thursday, July 4 th the club will be hosting the Independence Day Race.<br />

This sailing event is a fun regatta and in celebration of our freedom, the entry<br />

fee is waived, so the race is “free” for all participants! This is a perfect race for<br />

cruising sailors to join in on the fun.<br />

Both of these events are club sponsored events and open to all members. If<br />

you have any questions, or would like to participate as crew on another<br />

member's boat, please feel free to contact a member of your GIYC Race<br />

Junior Sailing Update<br />

Dear Parents and Junior Sailors,<br />

P A G E 11<br />

Last year we had over 50 children and young adults involved in the learn to sail<br />

and race team at GIYC. We also had a number of adults enrolled in our Adult<br />

learn to sail classes. Please refer to the brochure and application located in the<br />

<strong>Spray</strong>.<br />

GIYC has recently added five optimist sailboats to its. We are also continuing an<br />

optimist sailboat race team for the 8 to 12 yr old group. For the 12 and up<br />

group we have nine 420 sailboats. Both boats are used for the learn to sail and<br />

race team program. <strong>The</strong> race team competes in about six regattas including<br />

Junior Bay Week – the highlight of the season.<br />

We are fortunate to have three returning coaches this year. Nick Burr and Montana<br />

Pruett will be the learn to sail coaches. Both know GIYC well as accomplished<br />

junior sailors and high school sailors. Both have moved up to college<br />

sailing and racing at Michigan State University where they are enrolled. Amanda<br />

Baker will be the race team coach. Amanda also sailed for GIYC and the high<br />

school team. She went on to the University of Michigan, became their cocaptain<br />

and competed in regional and national collegiate championships. Now<br />

graduated, she can be seen coaching UM at regional regattas.<br />

<strong>The</strong> <strong>Grosse</strong> <strong>Ile</strong> <strong>Yacht</strong> <strong>Club</strong> Junior Sailing Committee again would like to extend<br />

our sincere thanks to the <strong>Grosse</strong> <strong>Ile</strong> <strong>Yacht</strong> <strong>Club</strong> and its members whose generous<br />

contributions allowed us to purchase a much needed safety boat (14 foot<br />

inflatable, 30hp Mercury outboard and trailer) for our program last summer.<br />

Thanks to your support we will be able to continue providing sailing and boating<br />

education to members of the community for many years to come.<br />

We would also like to thank <strong>Grosse</strong> <strong>Ile</strong> Educational Foundation (GIEF), the<br />

<strong>Grosse</strong> <strong>Ile</strong> Community Sailing Foundation 501c3, Solo World Partners and<br />

many private donors assisted in this worthwhile effort<br />

GIYC Jr Sailing Committee<br />

PS: <strong>The</strong> <strong>Grosse</strong> <strong>Ile</strong> <strong>Yacht</strong> <strong>Club</strong> Junior Sailing Program teaches our youth the<br />

responsibilities and rewards of safe boat handling skills. Our instructors are US<br />

Sailing Level 1 certified, trained in First Aid and CPR, and provide a curriculum<br />

that teaches sailing skills, in an environment that promotes self-esteem, sportsmanship,<br />

and teamwork.

Caught on Camera!

<strong>Grosse</strong> <strong>Ile</strong> <strong>Yacht</strong> <strong>Club</strong> Sponsors <strong>The</strong> 3 rd Annual Leukemia Cup Regatta<br />

While thousands of sailors throughout North America are scheduled to participate in nearly 50 Leukemia Cup<br />

events in 2013, the <strong>Grosse</strong> <strong>Ile</strong> <strong>Yacht</strong> <strong>Club</strong> is revving up for its 3 rd Annual GIYC Leukemia Cup Regatta, an event that<br />

is quickly becoming a GIYC and <strong>Grosse</strong> <strong>Ile</strong> Community Tradition.<br />

<strong>Grosse</strong> <strong>Ile</strong> <strong>Yacht</strong> <strong>Club</strong> (GIYC) is proud to announce sponsorship of the third annual GIYC Leukemia Cup Regatta to<br />

be held June 29, 2013 at the GIYC. <strong>The</strong> Leukemia Cup Regatta is a combined race and fundraising event to elevate<br />

awareness and research in the fight against blood cancers (Leukemia, Lymphoma, Myelomas’ etc.) <strong>The</strong> National<br />

Leukemia and Lymphoma Society (LLS) series has been chaired by ESPN sailing commentator and 1976<br />

America's Cup winner Gary Jobson since 1993. Over $42 million has been raised to fight blood cancers. Since<br />

GIYC began participating in the Leukemia Cup Regatta just two years ago, they have raised over $70 thousand. For<br />

GIYC, the journey towards helping to find a cure began as a personal mission for many of the club members<br />

following the loss of a dear friend after a long battle with blood cancer. <strong>The</strong> mission continues today with a focus<br />

on continued research and a celebration of survivors that would not have been possible without the treatments<br />

now available.<br />

Per GIYC Commodore Ken Muscat….the event works because people can have great fun with friends and feel good<br />

about contributing to an important cause. To participate, each boat must register with their LLS Chapter Regatta,<br />

and then each crew member sets a goal for fundraising as well. It becomes a competition within the clubs and<br />

between the clubs – but truly everyone wins. GIYC will also be the first club in the LLS Regatta series to include a<br />

power boat race referred to as a Predicted Log.<br />

We look forward to a great race and fun filled event for everyone. We are also very happy to be teaming up with<br />

our friends at Ford <strong>Yacht</strong> <strong>Club</strong> as we embark on a shared mission to find a cure for cancer. For certain, it wouldn’t<br />

be a true Regatta without a little friendly competition from the other neighboring yacht clubs (Great Lakes <strong>Yacht</strong><br />

<strong>Club</strong>, North Star Sail <strong>Club</strong>, and Port Huron <strong>Yacht</strong> <strong>Club</strong>). So the challenge is on, to all those great clubs that<br />

participate in the LLS Regatta events… to see who can have the most fun while fighting for a great cause. Truly –<br />

we’re all winners in this race! What better reason to go for a sail and get involved!!<br />
