Fuel Dock and Pump out News

The Board of Directors has regretfully accepted the resignation of Director, Roger Martindill and thank him for his work in preparing the fuel dock and meeting with the Committee on April 30th regarding Safety and Fuel concerns. We wish him a good summer sailing. 

The Board would like to announce the appointment of Steve Rouse as a Director. Steve will serve as the new director of Fuel Dock and Safety. Welcome Steve.  We trust that the committee will provide you with full support as we move into our active season. 

The Fuel dock will be open for pumping fuel starting Saturday May 14th at 8:00 am. 

The pump out will be started up Sat 14th May and available only whenever the Fuel Dock is open until the water pipe is replaced. It is self serve. 

Fuel Costs (post revised on May 6)

Everyone is concerned these days with the cost of fuel and serious discussions have taken place at the Board table. 

In order to offset price fluctuations in  tank fillings, the costs are routinely blended between the current and the newly filled tank. 

Calculations over at least the last nine years indicate consistent financial losses for the club, seven out of nine years. By unanimous Board motion, for the beginning of the 2022 season, a blended price increase of two cents per litre will be factored in to members’ cost.    This process will not cover the costs involved in all the club’s expenses to provide safe fuel handling.

Please consider your fellow members when determining the amount to fill in your vessel from the club tank at the first of this season.  

The prices are calculated based on the information below.

Prices on the bottom line are when the Fuel dock starts up and lasts until the next filling of the clubs tanks:  

  The following calculations are provided to the Membership for complete transparency:

  Nov 4 2021    Price to Members UNLEADED 1.54 DIESEL 1.38    

 Nov 4 2021   Volume in tanks UNLEADED 2504 L DIESEL 2935 L    

Nov 21, 2021  New Fill Total cost UNLEADED 1607.89 DIESEL 1710.74    

  Nov 21, 2021   Volume Purchased UNLEADED 1058.4L  DIESEL 1244.7L   

  UNTIL our Tanks REFILL- PRICE AT GYC in May :

UNLEADED  $1.55  DIESEL $1.40

(The $1.55 and $1.40 are corrected calculations on May 6, 2022. Thank-you for your understanding)

Gas Dock Closed July 17-August 2

Dear GYC Members,

The Haslam family are going on vacation around the bay and our much appreciated gas dock attendant Josh is going with them.

We have been unable to find a volunteer to do any days during that time, so the gas dock will be closed from Saturday July 17 to Monday August 2nd.

If anyone is able to come forward to help out please contact Chris Haslam.

Fuel Dock / Attendant Vacation

To all members: Please be advised that Josh Harlem our fuel dock attendant will be on vacation with his family July 27th through August 7th. During this period Rudy Hachey, Kurtis Mink and myself Harry Hartrick will try to man the fuel dock. I would ask anyone needing fuel to please take advantage prior to the 27th of July. The pump out will be available through out this period. Thank you to all members for your accommodation and understanding.

PUMP OUT WORKING AGAIN

Hi fellow members,

We replaced 3 faulty solenoid valves and Jamie Harrison repaired a safety valve on our vacuum pump system and it appears to be functioning again!  I remind everybody to flush the system for a few minutes when you are done your pump out ( hose in the lake ) .  Thanks.
