The Latest Fleet Scuttlebut............

My how time flies when the weather gets warmer. I can’t believe we’re thru May and its almost June. We’ve been busy in the Fleet group prepping and moving boats back onto their moorings. Thanks to Scott Titus, John Dudley and a few others the keel boats are home.

I have personally been extremely busy the last few months but I believe we are ready to launch our adult sailing instruction starting Sunday, June 4th at 12 noon. An email has gone out and the expectation will be that anyone interested, needs to confirm attendance the week prior. Our goal is to accommodate both keel boat and dinghy instruction. For additional information contact me directly at jgarret1@gmx.com.

And of course, I can’t forget to include May’s “Sailing terminology of the month”. This months term is “Hunky Dory”. We know the term to mean that everything is “Ok, or just fine”. Its origin is a phrase commonly attributed to American sailors who used it to describe a particular street in Japan called Honcho-dori. This street was known to lonely sailors for the services it provided. I’ll just leave it at that.

I’ve mentioned it before but if you have a boat (sailboat, motorboat, kayak, etc.), you’re thinking of selling and would like to advertise it in the TT, please let me know, I’m happy to take care of it. That said, member’s Cordon Davis and son Cordon III are selling their 1988 28’ Ericson Sailboat. The boat is currently at Mobjack Bay Marina. For more information contact Cordon directly at cordon.davis@gmail.com.

Until next time…….

Fair Winds and Steady Seas,

Jim Garrett - Fleet
