Hi, all you sailors! I just wanted to drop a quick message to let you know that Nockamixon Sail Club continues in this era of Corona Virus worry. Last night, Fleet Council met via video chat for our regularly scheduled meeting. Can you believe the nerve of some members of Council who didn’t attend because […]
At the Spring Warmup banquet, I had intended to discuss some of the directions we planned for the Club this year. As we know, COVID-19 put an end to that by quashing the banquet, and by creating no end of uncertaintly. As of late yesterday, I do have some answers. I will circle back to […]
