One item. Happy to report POS is working with new process. Discussed different levels for different bar prices. Changes by a swipe of a card. Level 1 is member prices, level 3 is guest. Made a few changes to the OD manual to reflect the instructions for the new POS system. Transportation – Darryl Campbell As many of you are already aware of number three Fin has been commissioned even though Mother Nature has chosen to keep it in its well a majority of the time either from pack ice or hurricane velocity winds. The thruster has been installed with a time relay/delay that only allows operation for 4-5 seconds at a time in an attempt that we don’t have a reoccurrence of last year’s failure. This year we are using a real bilge heater as light bulb are too vulnerable and prone to failure at the worse times. If you use the Fin, as some of you already have, you will notice a wire coming out of the battery hatch please leave it in place and unplug the black wire at the extension cord as the charger is tethered down. Finally, Fin 3 will receive a new rear running light mast to replace the damaged one along with new horns that are more audible. The parking lot has received a “No Turn Around” sign on one side of the entrance and will be joined by an adjacent sign in the near future in an attempt to minimize wear and tear to its surface. Bret Kahl has so graciously agreed to pound down the tie backs that have frost heaved in the parking lot free of charge. Tom Altobelli asked Darryl about the condition of the parking lot entrance. Darryl indicated in needs gravel and needs to be pounded down smooth. Darryl may call Clay Township police to see about support in patrolling the area to prevent cars coming in just for the turn around. Fleet Captain – Ken Lipowski Have a group reservation number for the St. Clair rendezvous. 18 wells reserved. Ken and Commodore Pagel and First Lady Linda met with GPYC to firm up the catering plans for the July rendezvous.
