More About Us...      Our November meeting is the most important of the year, as far as the future of the ABYA is concerned. It is at this meeting that the delegates have the opportunity to vote for one individual who will fill the open position of Secretary and eventually move the ABYA in the direction that was set by our first Commodore and his Bridge.      The Anchor Bay Yachting Association has prided itself in doing many things for the good of the boating community in general. Projects taken on by the ABYA over the years have been: Implementing the plan that resulted in the dredging of the Clinton River and the construction of the harbor entrance at the mouth of the Clinton River; Organizing a cleanup of Gull Island with all the debris being carried away; Providing a large number of workers for the Clinton River Cleanup; Petitioning the Coast Guard to place markers in North Channel earlier in the spring; Being instrumental in getting the Coast Guard to reposition Pointe Huron Buoy #1, making it easier to pick up range markers at Metro Beach; Organizing a Town Meeting, with the DNR invited, for the purpose of guaranteeing the placement of pump out stations at convenient locations; Purchasing land for $100 and attending meetings in full dress uniforms to oppose building high rises in area.      The Association located the submerged “Glacier Rock” off Belle Maer Harbor. This was reported to the Coast Guard, the Army Corps of Engineers, and the DNR, and as a result is now shown on navigation charts.                                                                                                     More...
