Ahoy Mates!

October was quiet for a change, which, quite frankly, was aok by me after a very busy Summer. This month we start the clinic season with our most popular one, out to Anacapa Island and back. You learn about the shipping lanes, windy lanes and anchor chains during this outing. Its essential for first timers and lots of fun for old salts. We may have 1 seat left, so get ahold of me if you want to squeeze in. We take a break during December and then have a busy January with another clinic and the 5-Saturday ASA 1105 classroom, location still to be determined. Now is the time to sign up for the 105 class so I can get classroom supplies ordered. Special awards given to the first sign up!
