Farewell to member Mike 'Suds' Sundstrom: From his days as a teenage 'harbor rat' - Mike's life revolved around the harbor. Mike was the EYC Vice Commodore of Power/Cruise. Mike always had a smile, especially when enjoying his powerboat "Brown Eyed Girl" the nickname for his wife, Phros, who passed away two years ago. We fondly remember his smile and wave, and his Jack Russell Terriers too, as we passed by on the dock! His legacy carries on with son's Nick (Lisa) residing in Denver and Alex of Escanaba who also serves on the EYC Board. Fair winds and smooth seas Suds!

Nautical Chart Collection Gifted to the Escanaba Public Library
The Escanaba Public Library is pleased to announce the generous gift of over 1,289 nautical charts from Dr. Richard Fink. This large chart collection includes charts covering parts of the Great Lakes, US East Coast, and West Coast, Canadian Great Lakes, St. Lawrence River and Gulf, Labrador, Newfoundland, Nova Scotia, Bahamas, Turks and Caicos, Caribbean & West Indies, Atlantic islands, the Mediterranean Sea, English Channel, North Sea, Australia, Indonesia, New Zealand, and Oceania. Printed charts can simplify planning and identification of details and hazards along a course, offering a very different perspective than zooming in and out of an electronic chart on a small screen. The collection will be a great resource and attraction for boaters to study charts of interest. It will also be a useful reference tool for readers who wish to view the navigable waters, mentioned in a story or article. The Escanaba Public Library Nautical Chart Collection was started with the move to the new building in 1995 with chart donations from Dale and Ruthie Vinette, Terry Reynolds, Charles Vader, Tom and Peg Lippart, and Dean Shipman. An index to the new collection is located on the Escanaba Public Library website at: www.escanabalibrary.org. An orientation and presentation for the public is scheduled for April 24, 2017 at 6:30PM, at the Escanaba Public Library, 400 Ludington Street in Downtown Escanaba. For more information, call the library at 906-789-7323. Click here for the Escanaba Public Library flyer.
International Nite Iceboat Association sends thanks!
The International Nite iceboat association would like to take this opportunity to thank the the communities of Gladstone and Escanaba, particularly the Escanaba Yacht Club for hosting a very successful regatta. The exceptional hospitality we received warmed our hearts in some very chilly weather. The regatta was a huge success and we are very grateful for the gracious welcome we were afforded. The 35 competitors and their entourage (family and friends), experienced the true spirit of the Upper Peninsula. Our "Yooper" friends provided fond memories we will each carry with the same passion we have for this great sport. Regards, Don Sanford Commodore

Sadly we report that Bob Sendenburgh, long time member & fixture at the Marina passed away unexpectedly. Marilyn shared the following tribute to Bob:
Bob Sendenburgh was a great teacher about sailing from his many years of experience. He carefully observed the weather, and knew how to select, equip and maintain a sailboat to be a pleasure to own, well into his 80’s. A small, well-built sailboat, such as a Fisher 25 Daysailor, was within his budget of time, money and physical strength. A sturdy rub rail, good protection from the sun and weather, a reliable autopilot and inside steering, an emergency anchor on the transom within easy reach, high bulwarks with sturdy handholds and lifelines to stay comfortably and safely on board, and a stereo to listen to Strauss waltzes, made sailing with Bob a pleasure! The sail plan shows a variety of relatively small sails, all on furlers, which were easily adjusted to the wind and sea conditions. With extra sailors on board, a small spinnaker was fun to show off! A generously sized motor, allowed him to sail, almost every day with moderate winds, by motoring to windward 3-5 miles, and then reaching and jibing, to turn into the wind in the lee of Sand Point to furl the sails, and motor back to his slip. He had carefully planned docklines, using a spring line with a loop to drop it over a particular post, and then power gently sideways into the dock. Ah, for a sturdy rubrail! Bob welcomed sailors on board, while at the dock, to share stories, and questions about how to fix something, or sailing techniques. The boatyard was his favorite daily location in the Spring and Fall, to chat with other boat owners, and do the necessary To Do list projects to keep his boat in reliable working order. Bob was a classy gentleman sailor, very knowledgeable, with a soft spoken voice, clear directions when assistance was needed or offered, and a wealth of sailing experience to share willingly with others. He will be missed by all who knew him. |
