Mild winter weather has allowed many of us to launch early this year. Kathy and I have been planning the cruise outs for this year and we will be including some of the previous destinations and exploring some new ones. The shakedown cruise in June will include ports of call in Huron and Vermilion. The July cruise out will incorporate Lake St. Clair and the St. Clair River. Our ports of call will be Toledo Beach Marina, North Channel Yacht Club, Port Huron and Detroit Yacht Club. We are planning two separate cruise outs in August. We will once again go to Pelee Island/Leamington and a second cruise out to Cleveland. With the RNC Convention in Cleveland in July, Cleveland may be an exciting destination in August with many new businesses. In September we are looking at Sandusky/Cedar Point. All of these cruise outs are in the planning stages and we would welcome any suggestions. At each of these cruise outs there will be day trips planned on water (dingy) and on land. All cruise outs can be done in full or part. Anyone wishing to visit a cruise out by land, overnight accommodations are available at most ports. We also are trying to plan a CRUISE IN. With many of our cruising members not living on the island we thought it may be nice to get together in PIB. We are possibly going to incorporate a wine tasting with this event. We have welcomed several new members who want to cruise with us. We look forward to seeing our existing cruising members and meeting new ones. Any suggestions or questions, please us at tpriesman@crosserfuneralhome.com. Tom Priesman Power Fleet Captain

We hope that this opens up the opportunity for more of you who don t reside on the island during the week to join us when you come up on Friday. The weekend series will continue on Saturdays at Noon starting on May 21 st. In June I will start to provide sailing lessons again for anyone who wants to participate on Sunday mornings starting the 19 th at 10am.

These events are some of the ideas we came up with at our annual meeting. If anyone has any other ideas, please give us a call. Until then Peace. Mary Boag French Ladies Auxiliary President CLUB MANAGER I will be back in the office on Friday, April 15th getting organized for a busy season. I hope you all stop in to say hi! Our annual clean-up day is Saturday, May 14th. Please make plans to come and help get the club ready for the season. We will have free lunch for everyone and for those of you boating in, we will be offering free dockage for the night. Call for dockage reservations (419) Most of the staff will be returning for this season but I still need a dock master. This position can be full or part time. If you know of anyone who would qualify please have them call or the office. I am looking forward to working with the new Bridge. One important thing we will be taking a hard look at are Friday night dinners. This is an area of the club that is losing money. We need ALL of your suggestions, comments, complaints so we can figure out how we can make these popular dinners profitable. Your opinion IS important and appreciated! As always, we want the club to be a fun place. Please check the calendar and plan to attend our different events and don't forget, if you have an idea for something fun, just let us know!

Most Interesting People 2016: Mike and Gina Trebilcock WHY THEY'RE INTERESTING: The husbandand-wife team is breathing new life into the Flats through the Foundry, a youth rowing and sailing training center. Their vision for filling the waterfront with high school and collegiate athletes began with a desire to empower a new wave of young people with the values of teamwork and discipline embodied in nautical sports. Through the project, they'll be able to offer year-round, affordable access to amenities that can finally give rowers and sailors a reason to stay in Cleveland. NO MISTAKE: The Foundry features a boathouse, a rowing-centric gym, indoor rowing tanks and a riverfront park. "When Gina and I were growing up, we always heard Cleveland was 'The Mistake on the Lake,' " says Mike. "I think the mistake really is that the kids aren't on the lake. It's the mission we've taken on." FAMILY TIES: Their three all-star rowing offspring were motivation to pursue the project. Michael rowed at the University of Washington, Alyssa rowed at Hobart and William Smith Colleges in New York, and Kristian, a junior at St. Edward High School, captured a national championship at the Scholastic Rowing Association of America. "Something we noticed with our oldest daughter going off to college is that she immediately had 40 very close friends as part of the rowing program," recalls Mike. FUTURE PLANS: For Michael's senior project in high school, he worked with a local architect to map out a family training center. Later, he decided a rowing center would have been a more beneficial way to train during the winter months. It sparked the idea for the Foundry. "We're kind of marching to his vision," Mike says. LIVING ON THE EDGE: Both Mike and Gina were raised less than a mile away from Edgewater Park and live nearby today. "It's been great to see the park evolve," says Gina. "When I was growing up, we were pretty much told not to go into the water. The transition that's taken place has been really beautiful." PERFORMANCE ART: Gina, a former ballerina, finds similar beauty in rowing and considers it more art than sport. "It has so much precision and timing," she says. TRAIL BLAZERS: Although Mike and Gina aren't rowers, sports have long played an important role in their lives. Gina was a gymnast and Mike played tennis and ran marathons. Today, they both enjoy cruising the Cleveland Metroparks bike trail. "It's truly the jewel of Cleveland," admires Gina. You'll have to engage our new Rear Commodore in conversation, as she and her husband Mike were voted one of Cleveland's most interesting people. Congratulations! ENTREPRENEURS, 55 and 53
