November 18th Meeting at Base Mobile

Our next business meeting will be Thursday, November 18th, at 1930. It will be in the conference room in the Shield and Anchor Club at Base Mobile. The election of officers will be held in the November meeting.

Advanced Coastal Navigation Course

We are planning on starting the Advanced Coastal Navigation Course during the second or third week in January. The course consists of thirteen two-hour sessions. This is expected to be a fine course. It should be fun and it is great to know where you are at sea. You will need to bring dividers, a parallel rule, a .5mm pencil, and a good eraser. Contact Steve Andrews 471-5723 or Ken MacRae 666-1766 for more details.

Public Education – Ken MacRae

There are no more classes starting in 1999. I would like to thank everyone who helped out by instructing, assisting, or promoting the Public Education program. This year we had the most extensive Boating Safety education program that I have ever been involved in. Thank you all!
