For all members...

We have added a section in our public folder for Safety Bulletins. Our first article is regarding the Brown Recluse Spiders. These pictures are pretty graphic, but clearly explains the risks and consequences of this spiders bite. Our Vice Commodore was bitten by one of these last summer. All boaters and families need to be cognisant of this type of spider and the need for immediate medical attention if symptoms described in bulletin appear.

Our Webcam at Christines Restaurant is now back in service for the 2010 season. It can be found at www.pfyc.ca/Webcam.htm.

We look forward to having members contribute and share stories, issues and ideas that promote the Yacht Club and good boating practises.
