CRUISING ASSOCIATION UPDATE
We held our last Cruising BBQ before the winter break. The BBQ was well attended and it was pleasing to see the group come together in a social environment and utilise the existing knowledge of all cruising members to expand on their list of destinations and technology, gear and boat maintenance tips. Cruising BBQs re-commence on the second Saturday in September. I must once again thank Charlesworth Nuts for their ongoing support of the CYCSA through their sponsorship of our Cruising Association. Part of the sponsorship received went towards making our Port Vincent Clubhouse opening event a special weekend. We honoured Chappy Charlesworth and family with the opening BBQ named after him.
It was great to see quite a few of the cruising fraternity, power and sail, making their way over to Port Vincent for the launch of the new facilities over the ANZAC Day long weekend. Thanks to committee member Howard Murton for hosting the Saturday night get together where everyone enjoyed the show put on by the talented John O’Dea. Winter does not mean the end of sailing as we know it. The winds are generally more predictable and clear sunny days in winter are a pure delight to be enjoyed. Keep an eye on the Club calendar for up-coming social events and also the racing winter and two handed series for opportunities to ‘shadow the fleet’.
Thanks to Rod Hunter and all involved in the recent Boating Conversations event held on a Friday evening, it was well attended and appreciated by many CA members. These evenings will be a regular event and there are some interesting topics coming up. Happy winter cruising and feel free to contact me through the office if I can be of any assistance.
