Feb, 2003
Feb 27. We just received a good Lido donation for our program. Brett & I cleaned it up & put on a nice canvas cover (also donated). Our other good Lido 14 (orange CF 6072 CJ) has disappeared. Please keep an eye out for it & contact me if you see it!. We have a potential third Lido 14 donation in the works.
Feb 22 Brett & I worked on the skiff & the Honda 10 HP outboard. The motor is running fine. The skiff is ready to go (fishing, or a chase boat). Li sailed the Laser most of the afternoon.
Feb 14 Brett. Li & I sailed "Surf City" in the Midwinters race out of King Harbor Yacht Club. We came in 6th. (There were 6 Cal 20's in the race). Good experience.
Next regular meeting is 7pm, Tuesday, Feb 11 at KHYC. All are welcome!
Feb 9, Brett and I worked on "Surf City" (a reciently donated Cal 20), mostly cleaning it up to get ready for the Midwinters PHRF race coming up Feb 15th & 16th. It is a nice boat! We plan on racing (more like following) the race in surf city, since we have no racing experience, but it is a start.
We have an new (2nd) Lido 14 in our fleet now according to Bob Cole.
Chris (skipper) says that EOS is nearly ready to go back into the water & will need a crew to bring it back to Long Beach.
Dec 2002 News:
Dec 30, Brett, Li & myself put "Surf City" in the water for the first time (for us). We got familiar with the boat, sailed it out a couple of miles & got back just before sunset. The wind was light at about 5 - 10 kts which was perfect for our first time out on her.
Dec 15, Moved the Magellan back to Long Beach. Tony Cole, Brett & Ron Grassl moved the Magellan back to Long Beach. We left the dock (on a georgeous day) at 9:30 and arrived at the Arco dock at 1:30. We removed the rest of the Christmas decorations during the trip. We were planning to move Calliope also but did not get enough crew for both boats, so Brett and I moved Calliope to the guest dock where it will remain for a few days while we scare up crew to move it to Long beach.
Dec 14 King Harbor Christmas Boat Parade. We joined the parade in the Magellan. Seascouts Bill Coen, Brett Grassl and Li Shen piloted the Magellan around the harbor in grand style. All went very well. We received many compliments on our boat. My wife made a Sea Scout Ship 618 banner that was also displayed, so I think we must have gotten pretty good exposure to the good crowds there. Now that we have experience, next year should be great.
Dec. 11th 7pm Xmas Parade Decorating Seminar 8pm Skippers meeting. I attended these and won a nice life jacket in the raffle, which I will donate to the ship.
Dec. 10, 7:30 pm Sea Scout meeting at KHYC was attended by Chris, Ingrid, Ron and Tony. Seas Scouts Michael, Bill, Brett. Michael was elected to the top position as the ship boatswain.

Dec 7th, Brett, Li, Addi, Bill and myself motor sailed the Magellan back to King Habor to start decorating it for the christmas parade. Click here for a few pics.
Dec, 1, It looks like we are getting a very nice Cal 20 donated to our fleet from Gerry Langton. Thank you Gerry!! It is race ready, so if anyone is interested in racing, please contact us. The cal 20 fleet is very strong at KHYC. Brett & I lowered the mast & moved the old Cal 20 to the AES lot. We got plenty of help from the Yacht Club members.
