COMMODORE’S
REPORT
We
had a good turnout for our September meeting. This is usually not
the norm due to the fact that many of our members have not returned
from their summer destinations. Our guest speaker was Paul
Marrone of SeaTow. He explained just how much service you can
expect from your towing insurance and when you should expect to start
paying in a salvage situation.
At
the September BOD meeting it was determined that we would continue with
our dues credit for Cruise Masters. We also decided to continue
with a credit for expenses for anyone supplying a committee boat for
the Saturday Buoy Race.
Walt
Hicksen, one of our members passed away recently. His family has
requested that the squadron assist in scattering his ashes in the
gulf. We will need four boats to carry four family members each
on this mission. If you are interested in helping, contact Bill
Hettler who is organizing this activity. The proposed date is
Saturday, October 11, 2008. Please contact Bill Hettler at
485-7619.
The
speaker for the October meeting will be Bob Senn who will tell us how
to cruise the Bahamas.
A
big thanks to Bob Jensen who has volunteered to be our new Race
Committee Chairman.
Do
not forget to send in your check for the Steak & Sail. This
year it will be held on October 26th at the Sarasota Sailing
Squadron. (Click
