In early September we had a weather anomaly something like a mini tornado that disrupted the moorings and sent boats closer to the main dock. One boat was found halfway up the lake with its mooring ball still attached. Our Harbour Masters, Carleen Hone and Jim McKenzie plus a few more volunteers were able to right the situation with a lot of hard work and ingenuity.<\/p>\n<p>The next weather event happened on September 23rd with the reservoir lake rising by 4 \u00bd metres making access to the water impossible. Bob Magill, John Ellington, Rick Goldt and Jim McKenzie were instrumental in rescuing the moored boats by extending their mooring chains. They were able to prevent these boats from sinking. Then many more volunteers working together brought endangered boats (rescue, tenders, and personal dock boats) up to the south parking lot with the hope that the water would not get that far up.<\/p>\n<p>I volunteered at Pumpkin Regatta with registration and then I assisted with flags on the barge as the regular volunteer was not able to make it. John Kabel, our Race Officer was very patient, informative while instructing me on the tasks I would need to do. Everyone should have this opportunity at some point during their time at FYC. It was an amazing learning experience for me. Watching the race from the barge was exhilarating. Learning about the required flags, not all by any means, but that is perhaps for another day or season. Many boats crossing the finish line separated by seconds is a real challenge, especially for a novice. John was very watchful and there were no infractions. Let\u2019s not leave out the weather. It rained all day Sunday, but something that was incredible was a slight breeze pushed a fog bank across the lake and over the east side bluff right in front of us. I had not seen anything like this before.<\/p>\n<p>I am looking forward to next season with renewed energy to resume our potlucks and bonfires. Please check the website as all events will be there in due course.<\/p>\n<p>Now something a little more urgent. Our Banquet is coming up on <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Saturday the 6th of November<\/span>. We must have at least 70 people attend and I need to notify the venue on 23rd of October.<\/p>\n<p>You must have proof of two vaccines and photo ID to attend. This is a government mandate. Now it is easy to get your tickets. Go your bank\u2019s website and login. Select E-Transfer. When asked for where the money should go type in <a href=\"mailto:fycpmnts@rogers.com\">fycpmnts@rogers.com<\/a> add the amount of money ($40 or $80 for two). Once the transfer is sent it is deposited directly to the FYC account. (If I can do it, so can you, it just sounds hard) I will get notification and will then send you your tickets in PDF form.<\/p>\n<p>Now I know some of you may find this daunting and would like assistance from me. Please contact me at <a href=\"mailto:madam.commodore.fyc@gmail.com\">madam.commodore.fyc@gmail.com<\/a> or give me a telephone call and I will try to make different arranges with you so that you can get your tickets.<\/p>\n<p>Be Well, Stay Safe and we will talk soon.<\/p>\n<p>Bonita Magill, your Commodore<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-af4fbe0 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"af4fbe0\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-5195f8e\" data-id=\"5195f8e\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-e9eec62 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"e9eec62\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>October 13, 2021:<\/strong><\/span>\u00a0 With regret, the Annual Banquet scheduled for November 6, has been Cancelled.
