The Latest Fleet Scuttlebutt ...................

Is it summer yet? Now that we have our keel boat TB back home and most of the fleet ready for the start of the sailing season all seems right in the world. Next, will be the scurrying of young sailors around the grounds and the start of sailing camp. We have three (3) skiffs ready for this year’s season as well and a big thank you to Kirk Lindsey for bottom painting our Carolina skiff.

I am also working on updating the list of trailers and boats that occupy our storage spaces in the field and am asking any member that has a boat/trailer to please send me an email confirming you have an assigned space and I’ll match those up with my records. My email is jgarret1@gmx.com. If there is a trailer or boat without a signed release and no record of the space being assigned and I don’t hear from you, I will assume the boar/trailer is abandoned and it will be removed, so please take a moment to respond.

Lastly, we have what’s is shaping up to be an epic Governors Cup (including several political dignitaries from our state Government) who will be in attendance. One change for this year’s event will be the addition of an event program. Included in that will be the sale of advertising space. The committee has settled on three levels: An Admirals Ad = a full page for $100, a Captains Ad = 1/2 page for $50, and a Commanders Ad = 1/4 page for $25. We will be soliciting these from Gloucester business as well. If interested, please let me know. Thats all for now!

Calm seas and steady winds, Jim Garrett - Fleet
