Spring is fast approaching, after a Caribbean winter holiday in the 13 degree latitudes of the windward islands. We once again sailed on the Star Clipper line. This time on the Royal Clipper a 5 masted square rigged ship out of Barbados. We had a week of sandy beaches and fond memories.
|
|
Now it’s time to plan for the spring launch and check out the safety gear: life jackets, flares and man overboard system, just to name a few. My launch will be the third week in April. The Admiral will want to spend the weekend aboard, so the starboard port light will need to be installed after being discharged from the window doctor. The leaky port has been a headache for a while.
|
|
I am looking forward to the Commodore’s Ball, which is always fun and another prelude to spring.
|
|
The CRCA has a full schedule of cruising and racing activities planned for the coming sailing season, so plan on enjoying some or all the events. We can always use new members for racing and cruising, so tell each Catalina sailor you meet about us.
