From the Commodore
Happy 4th of July! I hope your celebrations are fun, safe and patriotic. There have already been a few disturbances in the Gulf, so make sure you have that hurricane plan ready to go. I was reviewing last months newsletter and realized that I forgot to mention Space City Weather, which is a GREAT source for our area specifically.
My husband and I just got back from our vacation in the BVI’s where we bareboot chartered a 45 foot catamaran. We had a great time and if you have the opportunity to charter (power or sail) in the BVI’s, we suggest you do it! We also suggest, you provision to eat on the boat a lot because dining out in the BVI’s is a little pricey.
It’s hot hot hot outside, and one way to cool off is to use our boats on the water! There’s a lot of openings for leading a cruise in July, just get in touch in with Bryan and he’ll help you get it set up! July is also a great time to practice our anchoring skills. Some great locations to anchor include, Nassau Bay, Red Fish Island, Offatts Bayou or even the small islands near Smith Point.
Be safe out there!
