foremost firm in Pinellas County that specializes
in marina design and permitting. The firm looked
at rebuilding our existing docks, replacing the
existing docks with floating docks, rebuilding
with a combination of fixed and floating docks
and obtaining a variance to build docks outside
the permitted footprint. For several reasons that
you can learn about at the Town Hall, the CIC
recommends rebuilding the docks in their existing
configuration. We are putting more focus on the
docks because of the poor condition they are in.
For the Clubhouse, the CIC used an engineering firm
to determine if the clubhouse was structurally sound.
The engineer found that it was indeed structurally
sound and could be expanded by adding a third floor
and/or extended out toward Bayway Boulevard.
The CIC also considered how to expand our Tiki
Bar, which may not meet building code requirements.
The Board authorized hiring a land use attorney to
submit the proper permits for the Tiki.
Please know that this isn’t a “done deal.” Neither
the Board nor the Trustees have taken formal
action to move forward. There are a lot of moving
pieces left to put in place, including input from you,
our members. We have spent less than $10,000 to
investigate our options and obtain information.
There are no expensive architectural plans being
drawn up to present to you, only a few conceptual
drawings for planning purposes. Join us on
November 2 to make your views known.
As always, if you have comments or questions about the

Remembered
Always
By Anita Cafferty, Bow Chasers
CYC, and the Bow Chasers especially, were
saddened to hear of Sandie Ramsden’s passing. She was an
endearing, always smiling, optimistic friend who never spoke P C Sandie Ramsden
ill of anyone or anything. Sandie always put a positive spin on
even the most dismal situation.
I first met Sandie when I undertook the
adventure of sailing the little prams. Being
a novice sailor, I remember my fear as I was
pushed off the dock for my first solo endeavor.
Sandie was helping Mary Kay Delk learn the
“ropes” but when she passed me. I remember
her kind voice telling me, “you’re luffing . . .
you’re luffing.” After years of frustrating trial
and error, I finally figured out how I could
minimize my faults, but I still heard that lilting
voice pointing out my “luffing” failures.
Sandie was a reckoning force being a Past
Commodore of CYC, Past President of Florida
Women’s Sailing Association (FWSA), Past
Captain of the Bow Chasers, International
Order of The Blue Gavel and recipient of many PC Sandie Ramsden Sandie with Steve McNally
