October TMCA Monthly Meeting - Anchor Extravaganza 2026 Part 1

From the Commodore:

The October Meeting of TMCA is quite important. This is when you will hear who has stepped forward to fill a position on the TMCA Board for 2027. There will also be time for nominations from the floor. Each nominee will then be asked to speak to the membership about their aspirations for their position - a stump speech.

From the Vice Commodore:

Come hear Tim Marshall present the basics on anchoring, followed by a weekend of hands-on activities focused on anchoring your vessel.

Dinner and socializing will begin at 6:00 at the Elks Lodge in Kemah 

The presentation this month will be Part One of Anchor Extravaganza, Equipment, Theory and Best Practices. This years' presentation has been edited and modified significantly. At least 2 new pieces of information were discovered in the process of revising the presentation so everyone will likely have at least 1 new thing to put into their anchoring practice. Phil is unavailable this year so Tim is going to try his best to get it done.

Part Two, the Case Study, will be Saturday morning at Waterford and Part Three will be Saturday afternoon at Redfish Island. It will be a little different than in years past where we all met on Phil's boat, Awesome One. Lamy and I will try to coordinate assistance if needed as people arrive at Redfish but we don't have a big host boat available this year due mostly to the scheduling conflict with Allen's Landing Cruise.

More information on all three parts of Anchoring Extravaganza will be made available as we get closer to the event but Phase 2 is available for registration on the website now so go ahead and register if you're coming to the clinic portion.
