The word “Periplus” stems from Greek, meaning
‘journey’ and also means a circumnavigation
or sea voyage around a coastline. The use of a
periplus, or journal, dates back to the second
century AD and was a document listing in
order, the ports and coastal landmarks. In that
sense, the periplus was a type of log similar to
the modern day ship’s log.

Steve Weiss - Commodore
Commodore’s Report
Aloha from the bar at the Maui Ocean Club (my temporary office while in Maui) right in the
heart of beautiful Kaanapali Beach, Maui. As the over used cliché goes, time flies and it is once
again time for our Maui fix; but, keep in mind that if you need to get in touch with me, I check
my emails once or twice a day and am available via cell phone. For my email address and/or cell
phone number, the PCYC Roster has the correct info or you can call the front desk for same.
This month I will once again dispense with reporting on the Club’s specific activities, but I am
pleased to report that everything is presently under control and will take this opportunity to give
you a brief overview of the Club from my perspective.
While enjoying my R&R here on Kaanapali Beach, I’d like to acknowledge what an honor and privilege it has been to
serve as the 39th Commodore of Pacific Corinthian Yacht Club, the crown jewel of the Channel Islands Harbor. Our
Club continues to be recognized as one of the premier yacht clubs on the West Coast and remains the only full service
yacht club between Marina del Rey and Santa Barbara. We are known up and down the coast for our warm hospitality,
great food & grog, and that unsurpassed “Corinthian” spirit due in no small part to our fabulous staff, led by our GM,
Brenda Dickmann, and our Chef, Rafael Collazo, and most of all because of you our fabulous members.
This year’s Officers and Directors are an incredibly diverse group of exceptional leaders, independent thinkers, innovators
and visionaries. I have been truly blessed for the opportunity to work side by side with this extremely talented group.
Before I close, I’d like to convey that we have continued the philosophy that began at the beginning of the year that the
Club would run as a partnership of the Board, Staff, and Membership. And so far it has worked, the Board has done
its darnedest to tackle the tough issues such as staying on top of all the business aspects of the Club, the Staff has taken
on the responsibility of the day-to-day operation of the Club, and the Membership through our various committees of
volunteers have made sure we’ve flourished with that old fashioned camaraderie that makes the Pacific Corinthian Yacht
Club so very special.
Briefly recapping some highlights from our Quarterly Meeting on August 22nd, John Gaddis, PCYF Director, reported on
the success of this year’s program and thanked its many supporters. It was announced that through the efforts of our very
own S/C Martha Jean Geisler and acting YRU Commodore as well as Fleet Captain Power/Cruising Chair Phil Peck and
his First Mate Adrienne that we brought home the Silver Cup Wyman Perpetual Trophy to PCYC for the first time as a
result of taking first place in the YRU cruise to Catalina.
Last but certainly not least, in answer to the thoughts and prayers of us all, our son Ara had successful surgery (9 hours)
Tuesday, September 2nd, for the removal of his thymic carcinoma, as well as, the final pathology coming in negative.
As I have mentioned so many times in the past but it is worth repeating, Laurie and I cannot thank you enough for all
your kind words, thoughts, and prayers over the past year during our son’s trials and tribulations in the treatment of this
extremely aggressive cancer. We consider ourselves extremely blessed to have had the constant help and support of our
Pacific Corinthian Yacht Club family during these very difficult times.
Just a short reminder to be sure to attend our Annual Meeting & Elections on Saturday morning, November 1st, 2014.
In closing, I would like to thank each and every one of you for helping make our Club, Pacific Corinthian Yacht Club,
all that it can be and that I look forward to seeing one and all the last week of this month when Laurie and I return from
Maui. Until then . . . Aloha!

Lynda Radke - Vice Commodore
Vice Commodore
There has been a lot going on at PCYC in the last month. Our weather has been sunny and
warm and many of our members have been enjoying the pool, the on-the-water program or
having drinks on our beautiful deck.
On the membership front, we have been bringing in lots of new members. I want to
personally welcome each of you. We are happy to have you as new members and we hope
you are enjoying all that PCYC has to offer.
If you haven’t “stopped by” the PCYC Facebook page, please do so and remember to ‘like
us’. This is a great way for us to share what is going on at the Club and to promote the Club
externally.
The House Committee continues to work on the upstairs deck. Having been unable to find
replacement tiles to fix the deck, we met with a contractor to discuss a solution that would cover the deck. Our
next step will be to visit other commercial locations that have used this technique to see if it will be a fit for us.
I wrote last month about converting the Membership office/Rudy’s office into a Junior Fleet room. This
transition has now mostly occurred. I want to thank Rudy and Brenda for clearing out all of the items previously
housed in that room. The room has been painted in PCYC colors and has a TV (with streaming Netflix) and
bean bags. We gratefully accepted a wii and games which were donated by the Pecks and a perfectly colored rug
donated by the Danzas. We are looking for a small TV credenza that could go under the TV to keep the Wii and
games. We are also looking for small toys (like legos) that can be kept in the cabinet in the room. If you have
something you are willing to donate, please let me know.
One other area that the House Committee is working on is the internet wifi access in the Club. As we were
working on the Jr Fleet room we discovered how weak the signal is and are now looking at potential solutions to
boost the signal strength.
In addition to my responsibilities for the House and Membership Committees, I have also been active with two
social activities. One has been the DNA event, which had a great first meeting and will have a final reveal on
November 6th. The second has been the family fest, which had a fun pool party on September 7th and we are
working on a costume party and harvest festival on October 25th.

In General
It’s hard to believe we are already in the Fall Season. As you know we have had beautiful
weather and it is hard to imagine all of the Fall festivities that we have planned.
One of our club events to look forward to is Oktoberfest on the
11th of October. Sheryl Hawkins will be your hostess of this fun party. Staff Commodore
Graham Wilson will delight you with his inventive “German” music!
Our very creative Bar Manager, Courtney Fredette dares you to join us in Bill’s Bar for the second annual
Haunted Bar Bash on Friday, October 31st . Creep, crawl, or float over and enjoy some devilish dining and
creepy cocktail creations! Costumes are encouraged.
For the well being of your mind and body, we have added an extra Yoga class, thanks to your request. Yoga will
now be offered Wednesday, Friday, and Saturday. Aurora will be your class instructor on Wednesday and Friday
and Nathan will be your teacher on Saturday. All classes start at 9:00 a.m.
I would like to remind you that we start our Winter Sundays on Sunday, November 2, 2014. Remember to
change your clock or to “fall back” before you go to bed Saturday, November 1st.
The club hours will only change on Sunday. We will close at 7:00 PM instead of 8:00 PM.
For all you new members that have yet to experience Thanksgiving at PCYC, this is for you! We will be open on
Thursday, November 27th for our phenomenal champagne buffet spread. The hours are from 12:00 noon to 4:00
PM. We also offer “Take Home” Turkey Feast for Your Happy Holiday Pleasure. You may order a complete slow
roasted turkey dinner for $199.95 (20-25 lbs, serves 14) with all the trimmings, Turkey only available as well.
Call the Front Desk for more information.
Thank you for all your support of this wonderful yacht club you belong to. You are what makes PCYC the place
to be.

As I sit here writing my article
for the October Periplus, I can’t
believe how fast this year has gone
by. Summer is almost over, but
we still have a few fun activities
planned. The Ladies Who Do Lunch
had their luncheon on August
14. This luncheon was hosted by
Marcia Charney. Their very interesting speaker was the
President of the Oxnard Harbor District for the Port of
Hueneme, Mary Ann Rooney. Following the luncheon,
the group was able to take a two-hour tour of the actual
harbor.
On August 23rd we held the mother of all parties
the “Western Party”. We should thank S/C Jim Jones
and Kathy Smith and their volunteers for all the hard
work they put into making this party a great success.
We had to cut off the reservation at 140 a week early,
so I’m sorry for those of you who were turned away.
Everyone, young and old, had a great time.
By the time you read this article we will have had
our “Gondola Electric Boat Event”. This event was
chaired by Karen Lorenzen and Linda Allen. It was a
progressive dinner with an Italian theme. Thanks to
all who participated.

Drink Specials

On October 9th we will have another Ladies Who
Do Lunch chaired by Judi Roussey and Rosemary
Tobin. The theme will be “Tree of Hope” and the

Captain Dave Willhite
COASTAL KNOWLEDGE
WEATHER:
Our weather has been very different this fall with the many hurricanes coming up the coast. I do not remember
in my time living in Santa Barbara and Ventura counties ever having more than a couple of Pacific Hurricanes
in any year. I do know that there have been hurricanes that made landfall here in Ventura decades ago and did
heavy damage to the region.
Normally we would be keeping a eye out for Northeast Santa Ana Wind Storms. Best one can do is be extremely
careful and check the marine weather forecast before leaving the dock.
FISHING:
Our fishing has been very different with the warm waters. If I had to guess I would say we are in our first year of
a major El Nino. Usually the second and third year are even better. By the time this note is posted there will be
Yellowfin Tuna in close to the Channel Islands.
If you go fishing be sure to measure your catch. I have installed our PCYC Long Fish derby boat at the
information board down stairs by the name badge holder.
Submitting a catch is simple. Just take a ruler and lay it next to the fish and take a picture to record the length.
Also take a picture of the angler holding up the fish. There is a first and second place for each species. Species
that will place are Halibut, White Seabass, Billfish, Calico Bass, Tuna, Lingcod, Yellowtail, Thresher Shark, Jr.
Biggest Fish, Ladies Biggest Fish. Check out the leader board
before you go fishing for the different species which qualify
at the club. Send length, angler’s name, boat name and
captain’s name to Captain Dave at pyachtsale@aol.com for
posting. Good luck fishing.
YACHT:
The new momentum we are seeing in boating does not hint
at slowing down. While prices have stabilized, we have not
yet seen a value appreciation yet. I think as inventory is sold
sellers will start pricing the yachts ahead of the market and
wait and see what happens. If you’re thinking of buying
or selling, this is a good time while there are good choices
available.

The Western Party: A Fabulous Success
PCYC was transported to the Old West on August 23rd for the Western Party complete with
Jail, General Store, Saloon and a number of sharp shooting and fast draw and horseshoe
contests. We had a great turn-out and a good time was had by all!
Thanks to a great “cast” and outstanding “crew” and other volunteers, the Western Party was
one of those magical moments that will be talked about for years to come. Kudos to:
The Cast
Outlaws – Steve Weiss, John Praiswater, & Jana Danza
Sheriff – Jack Skidmore
Deputy Sheriff – Gerry Hawkins
Jailer - George Bregante
Tequila Shooter Gal – Arlene Beckwith
Greeter - Tom Danza
The Crew [who made it all possible]:
Kathy Smith, a big Thank You ma’am! Char Virnig, Karen Lorenzen, Angela & Bill Switzky, Karen & Mike Mahr,
Doris Melillo, Jim & Nita Miller, Mary Praiswater, Steve Smith, Sean Smith, Rosemary Tobin, Sheryl Hawkins,
Adry Ezcurra, Helena Soler, Pam Miller, Mike and Carrie Mahoney, Jackie Sickles and all the rest who helped us
get this event produced. Thanks also to Bonnie Mercadante who memorialized the event with her photos.
The Staff
Brenda Dickmann, Leslie Cortez, Rudy Cerna, and the entire wait staff and bartenders who dressed “western” for
us. Chef Rafael & staff who prepared our Western BBQ.
The Band
The “Mighty Cash Cats” – entertainment so good, no one wanted to leave!
Wine Wednesday, September 10, 2014
Wine Wednesday worked out very well. Great table as requested. Beautifully set. Fine service. Aurora does so
well. We especially enjoyed the Shrimps on the Barbie. Tom, Barbara, and Rick raved about the Ahi. Yolie was
impressed by one of her favorites, the Lamb Shank. All in all, another exceptional evening even though two of us
had to admit we were also celebrating getting another year older.
