Cheers/Dancer moorings

[Coach Rhonda]

Aloha Awesome Board Members, 

I was in the harbor office this morning to pay for Saphira's mooring. So I asked many questions about Cheers and Dancer. Here is what I found out: 

1. Dancer does not have any temporary mooring on record for this year. Yay! That means that we can get a temporary mooring permit for the rest of this year and then 4 months in 2026. 

2. Cheers can stay in Wailoa until August 23rd. Then her 4 months are up. Monica said that we could bring her under the bridge for 2 to 3 days without charge to raise her mast and do the deck hardware if we do it before that August 23rd deadline. However, she said we need to let her know and she will designate a slip for us. 

3. Since I will be gone during Camp, I asked her where she would like us to park the safety boats during fall camp as this was an issue during summer camp. She said to make sure it is not in slip number 35 because even though that guy's boat is out of the water, he always complains about people being in his slip. I will make sure my coaches know this. But please remind them as they are all very young. She said she will look into having a designated slip over by Antoine's trimaran. 

4. We need to do a request for vessel change so that we can move Cheers out to the Reeds Bay mooring when we move Dancer into the harbor. I picked up the form and started to fill it out and then realized I could not do it because I'm not on the board anymore. LOL. So I have it at my house if anyone could pick it up and fill it out. 

5. Our Reed's Bay mooring needs to be renewed in April of 2026. We definitely need to have this widely broadcast somehow. *We Do Not Get A Renew Notice For This*.  Luke won't be treasure anymore. So we need somebody new to be watching over these things so that we don't lose our mooring like we did with the Dancer slip... And by the way, the late fees are $250 per month for late renewal as Gary and I found out the hard way when he was Commodore and I was Vice Commodore. After 2 months you lose your slip. Scott had mercy on us us and called us And we happily paid the $500 late fee in order to keep our slip, but Monica has been instructed to not make those calls. 

Thank you all for your service. I am attaching pictures of the forms. Don't mind my scribble notes all over the front of the first one. It has all been laid out in this email. 

Aloha,
Coach Rhonda

Thank you Rhonda,

Apologies for missing the board meeting, I was traveling back to the island. As I have been doing most of the mooring and boat work with Monica for the past few years I am happy to head up the paperwork to change the mooring over to Cheers in Reeds Bay. 

The three items in Rhonda’s list #s 1, 2, 4 are all tied together. The thing someone needs to coordinate is when, or if,  the mast and rigging on cheers is put on before we put her out to reeds bay. Do, if one of the board members can step up to that everything else will fall into place. 

Just to make sure we are all on the same page, the plan for Cheers and Dancer is to move Cheers out to Reeds bay mooring where Dancer currently is and move Dancer to Wailoa using a temp mooring permit. To do this we will have to apply for temp mooring permit and also submit the request for vessel change form and I will do both of those things. We just need a date set to move them around. If no one steps up to organize putting on the mast/rigging or we just can’t we can tow cheers out and swap them anytime but needs coordination. Our temp mooring permit for cheers runs out in Aug 23. It would be best to do it by then.  

Rhonda i out r anyone else know how early we can renew the mooring before April 2026? 

Thanks,

Luke
