MAY 2019 BEACON

This month we have the Final O.D. Work Weekend Schedule for you to look into. Make sure to find your dates and plan your season accordingly. A lot of time and effort goes into making sure all requests that are submitted are complied with. Also see the photo section for New Members, now that we’re on the Island you’ll be rubbing elbows with them and we want to make sure everyone’s first adventure is a pleasant one. Sick Bay includes our Chaplain Art so I filled in for him this month, pray all Members are well and back on deck soon. This is also a good time to check your Fire Extinguishers and maybe even upgrade to Type ABC as was the standard USCG exstinguisher since God’s dog was a puppy. In more recent years the USCG classified your bucket as your Type A extinguisher so you’re likely only Type BC on board and these are not rated to put out solids (wood, trash, etc.,) that might catch fire. Call Member Terry Steinmacher for more details and to purchase some much better ones for your boat, this is one thing not to skimp on. Terry’s ad appears in this Beacon as Adams Fire Protection or you can find him in the Roster. Finally, it’s time to launch!! See you on the Island!
