The Terra Nova Yacht Club is nestled at the inner basin of the Town of Holyrood, which opens onto the spectacular sailing waters of Conception Bay. Our Club is just a 15 minute drive west of the Town of Conception Bay South, which meanders along the scenic Conception Bay Highway (route 60), or just 30 minutes west of our provincial capital, the City of St. John's, following the Trans Canada Highway (route 1). You are guaranteed not to miss the inviting call of our sailing masts as you meander along the well kept tourist lookout on the beach of Holyrood Arm.	The Holyrood Marina Park Corporation, which was incorporated in 2005 as a non-profit corporate entity, has been tasked with providing vision and guidance with respect to the future operation and development of the Holyrood Marina. Frank Barron is the current HMPC marina supervisor, and can be reached during the summer boating season (May - October) at 229-4348, or via email at supervisor@holyroodmarina.ca More... Celebrating Bartlett 2009 More...	Tales from the Cockpit Terra Nova Yacht Club invites all its members and friends to pass along any stories or tales they have experienced while sailing the waters of Newfoundland, or any of their sailing experiences worldwide. These stories can be light hearted, or they can be stories that we might all do well to learn from the experiences of others. Please share your experiences with your fellow boaters by emailing your story to tnyc@tnyc.nfld.net.
MMSI (Marine Mobile Service Identity) A number of our TNYC members now own VHF radios that are enabled for digital selective calling (DSC), and have expressed an interest in creating a repository of MMSI numbers. If you are interested in having your MMSI added to that list, please forward it to me. I am not sure just yet how we will share this info, but collecting it is the first step. Please email to tnyc@tnyc.nfld.net. More...	A Non Technical Education on Boat Electrolysis - This is an excellent article on the issue of boat electrolysis, as well as some good testing techniques.

Power Cables and Extension Cords - Members are reminded that they must disconnect shore electrical connections when not aboard their boats for extended periods (i.e. overnight). The main safety concern is the potential fire hazard for those whose boats do not have certified marine connectors. However, there is also a strong suspicion of stray leaking ground currents getting into the water, which has been causing excessive corrosion for some boat owners. Your cooperation would be greatly appreciated.
