2003 Cruise Schedule

  

July 3-6                Jekyll Island, Ga.

The Forth of July is a big event at Jekyll. Space has been reserved at Jekyll Harbor Marina. As mentioned at the March meeting, reservations need to be made now. I have a form and will need to have the following info. I need boat name, length, Electric requirements, owner, Credit card #, and arrival date. I would like to get these in soon. This is the way they wanted to handle the reservations. If you wish to call directly, the # is 912-635-3137. E-mail is dockmaster@jekyllharbor.com. If you do this directly, let me know so that I know and can plan accordingly.     

 

August 30- Sept. 1      St. Simons Island, Ga.

Labor Day cruise to Golden Isles Marina (in process of confirmation)

 

October 3-6             St. Mary's, Ga.

This is my favorite trip. Will sail to St. Mary's to the town dock or Lang's Marina to help celebrate the Rock Shrimp Festival. Lots of fun, good food, and many activities and exhibits. Dockage is $1.00 ft. but does not take reservations but Mr. Lang promises plenty of room. I have stayed at town dock for one night with no problem.

 

My boat will be in dry dock a good part of the summer. If you would like good crew and possibly shared expenses, let me know, as I would enjoy sailing. Also, May and June are good times to have a raft-up at Cumberland. If you have any dates or suggestions, please let me know at 261-2872 or e-mail at jsmartin@fccj.edu.

There will probably not be speakers for the months of July, August and September because of typical low attendance at meetings during the summer months because of vacations.  Possible future topics include first aid and medical attention. I would like to have a volunteer or volunteers to give a racing seminar.  Jump right up!
