When a member joins AVYC (and whenever they wish afterwards..see below) they are offered the opportunity to tell the club a little about themselves, their boat, favorite body of water (f.b.w.) and their favorite water activity (It's completely optional). About 60% of our members opt to fill in the form and tell us about their love of the water.

He has already has a few jobs lined up but if anybody knows of any jobs near us let us know. I love this site it is the best!!!!!
Volunteer Member: Mary Hello Captain Jim Kearney: Your club sounds like a lot of fun! I just found you by a google search. I'd like to learn more about volunteering. I enjoy the northern and southern waters. Now that the good weather is here, I want to get out on the water. My dad was a merchant merine and I grew up with a natural love for the sea. I have family in the the US Coast Gaurd. Look forward to hereing from you.
Mary, as you went through the member process you hopefully found out what type of volunteering we sponsor. Safety first is encouraged by becoming a leader on your lake in boating safety. You can, of course, do it formally through a Yacht or boating club and serving on its safety panel or board or you can just stay aware and report possible problems and then lead by example. Then have fun! Send pictures for the Activity page, send a good joke, get you free email address etc.

I can't wait for boating season to start again! Member: Jamie FH Hi, Right now (not RIGHT NOW) I'm running around with my kids on a 17 ft runabout, fishing and skiing. Staying in Reynolds Channel and back bays on Long Island's South Shore. I will hopefully be living aboard again soon. I found the club on Craig's List. Member: Capt. Vince I am a licensed ship's master, and I operate my Silverton 34C out of South Tom's River, New Jersey. I do most of my boating in Barnegat Bay and the Atlantic Ocean. I am an avid scuba diver and salt-water fisherman. Member: Mary I live in Pa near the second largest man made lake in Pa Lake Wallenpaupack. I do own a boat one that is laughed at by many! It has no windshield which is fine by me there is nothing greater than cruising across the lake with the wind in your hair and the water squirting your face. the boat doesn't look like much but she's mine and runs just fine. She prefers full throttel! Member: Adabelle Member: Another Bill I just discovered your site through a link on Wyandott YC web page. They are a member of the Associated Yacht Clubs which is a group of over 30 clubs within a 50 mi. radius of the Toledo Harbor Light in Lake Erie. I am a member and Past Commodre of River View Yacht Club in Toledo which was formed in 1949 much the way you established AVYC. We are all volunteer and proud to stay that way. I have been living in Port Clinton for the last 6 years on a canal with good access to Lake Erie with my wife, Joyce and am currently between boats after selling our 31 ft. Silverton. Hope to find another boat soon and get back on the Lake in our own boat. I have to admit i enjoy going out with friends on thier boats without having the attachment of the responsibility of maintenance but the other half of the equation is the friendship and fellowship that we all share on the Lake. Another Bill was the name of my boat, maybe I'll run into some of you on "Another Bill Too" soon. Friday
