Save the Bay joins the fight

December 3rd, 2009

Save the Bay has made a serious entry into the fight against the Weavers Cover LNG terminal.  yes, that project still has potential, and a mean set of side effects to go with it.  please go to www.savebay.org and sign the petition, email our government leaders, and spread the word.  The impact on our bay if this terminal goes forward will be insurmountable, and we’d all have to move to Annapolis and drift around and wonder what happened. do something.

A season ends

November 30th, 2009

The 2009 season is officially over, and the racing saw some great competition, some close finishes, and some new boats at the front of the pack, along with some familiar faces.  We also would like to introduce our new fleet officers, Capt. Peter Clark, Exec. Officer Reed Baer, Treasurer Andy Segal, Secretary Kurt Edenbach, At large Dr. Charlie Shoemaker.  thanks to everyone for a great season, a great awards dinner at NYYC a few weeks ago, and i’ll have the total, final, overall scores posted for you wintertime revisionists to quabble over.

Bad ideas always have legs

October 12th, 2009

The following item is on the Newport City Council docket for next Wednesday at 6:30 pm in City Hall:

10.  Requesting the City’s Legislative Delegation to research the legality of assessing a fee for watercraft tying to docks and piers in Newport Harbor – C. Duncan

I am concerned that if the city starts another ‘tax’ on boaters it will be a further disincentive for people to come to Newport which already has an additional 1% meal and beverage tax in place. Although not specifically mention in the docket item,  could it be extended to moorings as well as having to pay an annual mooring fee?
We need a good turn out to monitor and probably oppose this idea from going any further so please spread the word to your constituency.

– brought to our attention by our PRO, Dr. Wallace. Thanks!

Cool Sailing Online

September 7th, 2009

If you haven’t seen http://www.t2p.tv/index.php , check it out, great video of sailing around the country.  Mark Still is in Newport and was out for several Wednesday nights and got some great coverage of our fleet.  With a little help, this will get on line.  To learn more, email Mark at mark@pearlproductionsnewport.com
