Opening Day 2024 - "Dream Forward"
Saturday, May 4th
Opening Day is coming up fast! Our Fleet Captains meeting was held on April 9th with the support of Portland Yacht Club hosting the meeting. If you have any questions going forward, please contact our Opening Day Coordinator, Bev Hamlik. It's not too late to join us. Most all the information will be posted on the CRYA website shortly. We look forward to seeing everyone out there this year and hope for a great weather day. Columbia River Yacht Club will be the location for the parade announcements. That will happen at 4pm. Multnomah Channel Yacht Club is this year's Host Club with the support of Columbia River Yacht Club. If you would like to attend an opening day celebration at one of the clubs, contact Bev Hamlik and she can connect you with a participating club.
Oregon State Marine Board Quarterly Meeting held in the Astoria Public Library Flag Room April 24th at 8:30am.
Our Guest Speaker last month was Connie Sullivan. She is the CVA (Clean Vessel Act) program coordinator and the go too person when it comes to Marine Pump out stations and floating Rest Rooms. You can find the Spring Edition of the Excrement Gazette Here. You can also find Pumpout locations near you by downloading the App. The links are listed below in our Links of Interest section. You can also report issues with a specific station on the app as well. Let's help her keep us all pumping and not dumping!
BoatUS article: The time that most users would need and EPIRB
Most boaters who do run offshore are seldom out of VHF or cell phone range making an EPIRB a questionable device to have onboard full time. This article deals with the average time one might use one, as well as where one can be rented. If you don't want to spend the money and upkeep of a personal EPIRB then this would likely be of interest to you when cruising offshore or remotely.
Content in your Club's Newsletters that all Boaters should read?
We can't see every club's internal communication, but we have to think some of the articles would be great information for all boaters. If you find that article of interest, please forward it to cryanews@gmail.com after getting approval to share. We can all be more informed.
