A reminder to everyone we have a General Meeting 8:00pm on Wednesday, May 2nd at the Piedmont.
 

We look forward to official Opening Day which is coming up on Saturday, May 5th.
 

With the terrible winter weather extended into spring, we are a little later than usual in opening the docks.  We will start to accept boats on Tuesday April 24th, but only for slip holders whose paperwork has been received and approved.  Please check your frog hooks and dock space to make sure everything is in order before bringing your boat to the dock.
 

Note all slip paperwork is due by May 1 with penalty of 1/2 slip fees if the deadline is missed.  As of today, April 22, we are still missing full paperwork for 93 slip holders.  The best way to get your documentation approved is to upload directly to the Online Mooring Website.
 

If for some reason you're not able to upload, then the second preference is to send all three documents soft copy by e-mail to fleetadmin@darienboatclub.orgor in worst case you can send by US mail to the Club.  We will hold another help session at the Club before the final due date to help sort things out.  Look out for the e-mail.
 

We'll start accepting kayaks and sailboats on the racks starting Tuesday as well.  Remember to secure your kayak to the rack as we can't be held responsible for kayaks floating off on a high tide our blowing off the rack in a high wind.  In addition, note all kayaks and paddle boards will require a new sticker this year which will have a place for your rack number and your name.  See Club Manager or the dock staff to get one before putting your watercraft onto the rack.  Finally, please confirm you are in the correct rack prior to locking it up.
 

On a sadder note, I regret to inform you that long time Boat Club Member Link Jewett passed away recently.  See a short note from his daughter below.
