As we approach the half way mark of the year, I would like to think we have been pretty successful. There are a lot of things that I hoped that we could accomplish. We have made some progress but there are many more to go. I hope everyone will pitch in and participate as we go forward.  We attempted to convert the race this past weekend into a race/ cruise. I would assume that by now everyone is aware of the results. The Jazz took a first in class. We had a great showing:3 boats and 3 trophies. After the race, it was cruise time, spending nights at Cumberland and Fort George. It was my first time at Fort George. Great place. I bet it would be wonderful when there was a lack of weekend warriors who have no consideration for others. That is one place to have your dinghy along for sandbar exploring and swimming. We tried to round up some others to party but everyone was working, gone or had other plans.  I hope everyone’s holiday weekend turned out well and I’ll see you at the meeting.

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.
