Boating Activities...
The annual fish fry will be held at Bethune Park on beach side. Make a point of attending and partaking in the finest tasting fish in the NSB area. Please bring a dish to pass and your own drinks - plates, plastic, napkins will be provided. Social hour is from 11-12:00 and dinner at 12:00. Cost is $5.00. Not a calling committee function so RSVP to Bill Myers or Linda Allen by 12 January.
Retrospect - Paul Yeaton thinks we should change his title from boating activities chairman to a land chairman. Once again, the weather intervened and sent us to Halifax River Yacht Club last Saturday using our land cruisers. We waited until the last minute to call off using our boats, but high winds decreed that sensible boaters would not venture out unnecessarily.
May 22 - 28th - Safe Boating Week
United States Coast Guard has for the past several years been pushing the use of Life Jackets. Most accidents are reported involving smaller boats and often boaters have not been wearing a PFD which might have saved a life. Two years ago the USCG provided USPS vessel examiners with inflatable's for their use while boating and doing their examinations. This year The Florida Fish and Wild Life Conservation Commission (FWC) has teamed up with the USCG to publicize operation “Wear It.” Boats will be going from Jacksonville to Miami on the ICW to carry out this promotion.
On Tuesday, 25 May at 1000, they will be at the Ponce Coast Guard Station. Please mark your calendars and, as many as possible, plan to attend. This will be our participation in safe boating week.
June 12, 2010 - come by boat or land cruiser to the luncheon/rendezvous 1100 @ Goodrich Seafood, Oak Hill - relax with a drink on their spacious docks enjoying the river view before gathering for lunch. Reservations - Denise Benny.
