LOST AND FOUND

Any trailer entering BBV MUST use the

visitor lane, even if you have a decal on

your towing vehicle,

This allows the guards to check for cur-

rent decals, if it’s a boat/trailer AND they

can open both gates to allow for safe en-

try for all types of trailers.

Too often the gate arms have been bro-

ken off because the reader doesn’t recog-

nize the trailer as belonging to the vehicle

towing it.

Keep your speed DOWN!!

There is a reason the speed limit is

20MPH within BBV. There are no side-

walks, therefore the roads are used as a

sidewalk would be. People walk, ride

bike, skateboard, ride scooters, run, and

even at 20MPH hitting someone will

cause serious injury.

BIRCH BAY VILLAGE YACHT CLUB CRUISES

A Quick Look At BBVYC's Upcom-

ing June and July Cruises:

The second leg of our 2019 cruising pro-

gram, the San Juan "Island Time" cruise,

was a smashing success. Thanks to cruise

hosts Chris & Agnes Doutre and Russ &

Marsha Murkowski, we had a great time

exploring our favorite island destinations.

Looking ahead now, we see two more

great cruises looming on the cruise radar.

INTO THE GULF ISLANDS:

June sees us venturing into Canada’s Gulf

Islands, eventually ending up in Port Sidney

to celebrate Canada Day.

Trip leaders Bob & Pat Simpson will take

us to their favorite places and ensure we

experience the best each venue offers. The

25 June - 1 July foray includes post-border

provisioning in Pender Island's Port

Browning.

This unique little place also has a pool, a

café, and nearby shopping. Next, the flotilla

will anchor and possibly raft up in Saturna

Island's Winter Cove Marine Park. This

beautiful little provincial park has a dinghy

dock, walking trails, and a nearby café for

lunch.

Then we move on to Galliano Island’s

Montague Harbour with its endless list of

things to do, including an optional trip to

the Hummingbird Pub via its infamous ce-

lebrity "musical" bus driver. Our final stop

will be Port Sidney on Vancouver Island.

Cruisers will find bountiful shopping, great

food, and spectacular holiday fireworks.

Port Sidney's annual Boat Building Contest

and Race is a hoot. Entrants must con-

struct their boats between 8AM & 4PM for

under $100 in materials.

Race time is 4PM sharp when it's off to the

water where only one is "fastest" around a

course. Some sink and some don't. It is

hilariously entertaining to watch and the

food choices afterwards are fabulous. Port

Sidney is a great place to visit with all of its

museums, eateries, book stores, street

fairs, and markets.

Canada Day weekend there is a "bucket

list must". See the SignUp Genius for the

specific details. We would love to have

you grab your passports and join us on this

great cruise!

VIEWING THE SKOOKCUMCHUCK

RAPIDS:

In July, cruisers will make their own way individu-

ally to Gabriola's Silva Bay where the hosted trip

will originate. This trip will begin as we cross the

Strait of Georgia early on the morning of July

15th to make for Secret Cove where cruisers

may either tie up to a dock or anchor out in the

protected harbor. The next day is a short hop

into Pender Harbour's Garden Bay. Here, again is

a choice of anchoring out in the protected bay or

docking at the Garden Bay Pub. The next leg will

take cruisers to Egmont's Backeddy Resort and

Marina. Here we

will view the

world's fastest

tidal flow. It's

only a short hike

from Backeddy to

the Skookum-

chuck Rapids

where we will

safely picnic

while watching

the rapids cycle.

The “Skook”, as

it is known by

locals, is anoth-

er "bucket list"

item and inspirational to behold. Currents have

been measured as high as 17.14 knots. Needless

to say we will not take our boats near them.

Kayakers and surfers

may also be seen in

action playing on the

waves. Our next stop

is only 8 miles away in

the Harmony Islands.

Friel Falls, another

breathtaking view, is a

1450-ft water drop

and easily seen up

close and personal as

we pass by on our way

to the Harmonys.

From the Harmonys,

some may want to

jump off and continue on their own to Princess

Louisa Inlet and Chatterbox Falls as they are

within easy reach. Those who wish to see Prin-

cess Louisa Inlet but don't wish to make the 68-

mile round trip from Egmont on their own boat

have another option. There is a daily local excur-

sion up and back with a stop at Malibu Rapids and

a tour of Chatterbox Falls in the inlet. From the

Harmonys, trip hosts Bill & Lyn Rackley will shep-

herd cruisers safely home via Pender, Secret, and

Clam Bay on Thetis Island. They, as with all our

cruise hosts, are happy to assist with information

and reservations as needed. For those who may

wish to travel by car, they may easily drive and

join us at Backeddy Resort. It is an easy and sce-

nic trip by car. After crossing the border at the

truck crossing, go straight north to Highway 1

and then west to the Horseshoe Bay ferry termi-

nal. The driving time to the ferry terminal is

about 1:15. The ferry takes about 45 minutes and

it is another 1:30 drive to Backeddy...this plus the

wait at the ferry will make it about 4-hours en-

route.

SignUp Genius and cruise details are available at

Love to see you on one of these great trips.

Happy and safe cruising to all,

Bill Rackley/Cruise Chairman

Rain Showers make the course wet in

some areas, so please keep motor carts on

the concrete paths, and repair fairway,

greens, and tee box divots that you and

others make to keep the course healthy

and in good playing condition for those

who follow, and always wait until the frost

is gone before starting to play.

Course Hours

The course is open every day. The course

practice area and hitting cages are open

every day, and the new practice green will

be opening soon.

Five 90-minute Lessons

This flexible golf instruction pro-

gram consists of five 90-minute lessons

taught over a five-week period at the

practice area and on the course. This is

an excellent class for a beginner’s intro-

duction to golf or for a long-time golfer

who has never been trained on the funda-

mentals of the golf swing.

Classes cover putting, chipping, pitching,

and full swing with irons, fairway woods,

and driver. During the on-course portion

of each class, we cover topics such as:

golf etiquette, course management, and

the rules of golf. By the end of the class,

students will be familiar with playing on a

golf course, how to play with other golf-

ers, and will have a practice plan that will

help them improve their newly acquired

skills. Contact: Ernie Hutchins:

Proper golf attire: Players must wear appropriate and

acceptable golf attire while on the course

Attire: consistent with current or past professional

trends in golf wear is acceptable; examples of unaccepta-

ble wear include, but are not limited to, cut-off shorts, T-

shirts with non-golf logo/messages, and other overly casu-

al or unkempt clothing.

Footwear is required when playing on the BBV golf

course and cannot cause damage to tee box or putting

surfaces

Metal-spiked golf shoes are not allowed.

Damage: Golfers are responsible for any damage they

may inflict to the course or to related BBVCC improve-

ments. BBVCC has no responsibility for any property

damage on adjoining property.

Inappropriate Behavior: Inappropriate behavior on the

BBV golf course is not acceptable and will not be toler-

ated.

No trespassing: Golfers must respect adjacent proper-

ty owner yards – do not trespass without permission.

Trespassing in this definition means placing ones physical

body (foot, hand, etc,) on BBV member’s property. No-

body may trespass on the Golf Course without permis-

sion.

Ground repairs: Golfers should repair ball marks on

greens, replace or fill divots with sand on fairways, fill div-

ots with sand on tees, and rake sand bunkers as appropri-

ate.

Golf clubs/bag: Each golfer is required to have their own

set of golf clubs and bag; golf bags may not be placed upon

the surfaces of greens.

No practice: Golfers may not use the course as a

“personal” practice area or driving range; golfers must use

practice areas provided (putting green, hitting cage, chip-

ping area).

Course markers:

Out of bounds: Out of bounds areas are marked by con-

tiguous white stakes or a painted/chalked white line; no

ball should be played from an out of bounds area.

Yardage markers: Fairway yardage markers are marked

by painted circular disks or by red (100 yard) or white

(150 yard) stakes; distances from tee boxes to center of

greens are marked by in-ground yardage monuments at

the tee boxes.

Right of Way: Golf Maintenance staff has the right of

way on the golf course. Maintenance activity on the golf

course takes precedence over golf play. Golfers must not

hit balls in the general direction of staff.

A complete set of these rules are available on the
