Sean and Morgan Hinkley. Sean is<br />
the son of Jim and Julie Hinkley. He<br />
works for the City of Beaverton in Operations.<br />
Morgan works for the State<br />
of Oregon Child Support Division.<br />
They live in Sherwood, Oregon. Sean<br />
began boating in 1990 at the Willamette<br />
<strong>Yacht</strong> <strong>Club</strong>. Sean and Morgan enjoy<br />
cruising and OSU tailgating (GO<br />
BEAVS).<br />
Bryan Berry and Lynne Barbier.<br />
Bryan and Lynne met three years ago<br />
on a blind date, and have been together<br />
since. It comes as no surprise that their<br />
boat, a Carver 35, is named Blind Date.<br />
Turns out that Bryan changed the name<br />
after he met Lynne and surprised her!<br />
Bryan bought the boat, his first larger<br />
boat, 4 years ago. He has been a boater<br />
for as long as he can remember, and he<br />
owned a number of smaller boats. A<br />
friend bought a larger boat and was<br />
looking for a gullible buddy to buy one<br />
also. Enter Bryan!<br />
He kept the boat at Johns Landing, but<br />
found it hard to get people to come<br />
downtown to join him out on the water.<br />
Thus began a search for a yacht<br />
club on the big river. He considered<br />
CRYC, Tyee, and PYC, and chose PYC<br />
due to its location, friends in the club,<br />
and possibility of owning a boathouse.<br />
He purchased one immediately after<br />
joining.<br />
Bryan owns a landscaping business, as<br />
well as some rental properties. Lynne<br />
is a flight attendant. They live in Vancouver,<br />
but they have dinner on their<br />
boat 4 to 6 nights a week at their boathouse<br />
during the summer, and a couple<br />
nights a week during the winter – talk<br />
about dedication.<br />
Bryan and Lynne are active with the<br />
Christmas Ships program. When not<br />
boating, they like to ride their Harley<br />
Davidsons, travel, snowmobile, and ski.<br />
They also like to visit their beach house<br />
on the Washington coast. Lynne has<br />
three grown children.<br />
Floyd and Lynn Jones. Floyd has<br />
lived in the <strong>Portland</strong> area all his life.<br />
He worked as a teacher of occupational<br />
horticulture in the <strong>Portland</strong> school system<br />
until retiring 7 years ago. Lynn<br />
worked as a registered nurse. Floyd<br />
was introduced to boating in the navy,<br />
where he served for four years. He has<br />
been sailing for 35 years. First boat<br />
was a Catalina 22, but he eventually<br />
graduated to his current sailboat, a<br />
Beneteau Oceanis 400, which is currently<br />
located at Marathon Key in Florida<br />
(on the hard during the hurricane<br />
season). He sails the Keys and Bahamas<br />
from November through April (eat<br />
your hearts out!). When not in Florida,<br />
he runs his fishing boat in Alaska. He<br />
used to do some chartering, and has a<br />
skipper’s license.<br />
Floyd has sailed for years in <strong>Portland</strong>,<br />
and has crewed on several PYC boats.<br />
He and his high school buddy, Lane<br />
Brown, bought the Beneteau together<br />
in 1995, and put it into charter with<br />
Sunsail. He and Lane have raced together<br />
in <strong>Portland</strong>. Floyd has sailed<br />
with others at PYC over the years, and<br />
is not a stranger to PYC.<br />
In addition to sailing and fishing, Floyd<br />
likes to dive, golf, ski, travel, garden<br />
and work with wood (he built two kayaks).<br />
Floyd and Lynn have one grown<br />
daughter, who also likes to sail.<br />

you believe<br />
that it is already<br />
<strong>Sep</strong>tember<br />
I was hoping for a much longer<br />
summer than we had. I hope that you<br />
had a good time on your boats this<br />
boating season and an extended Indian<br />
summer occurs.<br />
In case you didn’t know, we have maintenance<br />
repair forms available on<br />
Terry’s office door as well as in the<br />
office and on the bulletin board behind<br />
the bar. Please fill them out if you notice<br />
a problem on the docks or at your<br />
slip and Terry will take a look at the<br />
issue. It is a much better solution than<br />
mentioning it to the staff.<br />
I have also been aware that sometimes<br />
the dock carts are not being cleaned<br />
out after oil or other contaminates are<br />
spilled in them. Diesel does not smell<br />
very good on your blankets or clothing<br />
after transporting them to your vessel.<br />
We installed an intercom from the office<br />
to the fuel dock in order to inform<br />
you that we are sending someone down<br />
to fuel your boat. If it is within office<br />
hours and you haven’t heard from us<br />
push the PTT button and hold it while<br />
you talk. The office will respond. I<br />
hope that this will keep you informed<br />
about our response.<br />
