Change of Command &
Commodore’s Ball
By Christina Baum
O h, what a night! The VYC staff
really went all out to deliver an
impeccable evening for this semi-
formal tradition. The tables were
set with care and Judy Cunningham
and her crew put together gorgeous
floral centerpieces arranged in crystal
boats donated by Mary Beck. Mem-
bers and guests were met at the top
of the stairs and escorted to their
tables where they were offered drinks
of their choice before diving into
yummy shrimp cocktail and stuffed
mushroom hors d’oeuvres. Conversa-
tions floated while soft music played
and before long the salad course of
the meal was delivered. The perfectly
plated fillet mignon and lobster tails
accompanied by grilled asparagus
and pearled cous-cous arrived with
precision, and when dinner was
done, decadent chocolate and lemon
mousse deserts followed.
With the meal done and the staff
thanked by a member-led standing
ovation, the official ceremony began
led by outgoing Commodore, Dave
Boatner. Perpetual awards were given
in the following categories: The
Guardian Award is new this year and
salutes a member who has displayed

exemplary action that helped safe-
guard a fellow member, or VYC prop-
erty from danger, damage, or loss.
The recipient was Cate Calderwood
for her action and assistance to Rob
Miller during the Catalina cruise. The
Burgee of Merit was awarded to Jim
Dembowski; Bryan Drew took home
the Seamanship Trophy; The Mer-
rill C. Alynn Memorial Trophy was
awarded to Dan Cahn; Dwight Rowe
was the recipient of the Don Mills
Service Award; The Commodore’s
Award was presented to Bill Crew;
and Joel Bozarth was the proud win-
ner of the dubious Screwball Award.
After Dave gave his address, it was
time for incoming Commodore, Gar-
rett Baum, to take his oath of office.
The swearing-in of the Directors for
the 2023 term followed and the cer-
emony closed with the pinning of the
Bridge Officers and Garrett’s closing
remarks, which included some anec-
dotes about sailing sabots with Amy
West and playing beach football on
Santa Cruz Island with Pete Rusher
in days gone by. Garrett wrapped up
his remarks by asking everyone to
stick around to watch incoming Vice
Commodore, John Sugden’s awesome
dance moves. And boy, did we dance!
A big shout out to Emilie West who

not only put together a great play list,
but also created a QR code which
was placed on every table so members
could “dump” their photos from the
night into a shared file.
A hearty congratulations to all
incoming officers, and heart-felt
gratitude to those who are wrapping
up their terms. Garrett, John and Don
Clark are all looking forward to see-
ing you at Meet the Bridge.
