Time to move on and celebrate the season. Spring is upon us although I have to admit the temp this morning when I went to get the paper was like 32° with wind. Not exactly T Shirt and shorts weather but it's coming. It won't be long until (for me) those lazy, hazy, crazy days of summer have arrived. That also sounds like it's time to check your boats out for a great boating season. Don't forget your VSC. It only costs a few minutes of your time and it's something you and your fellow passengers will be glad you did.

Me? Repairs on our house begin Monday; outside stuff Monday and roof the 13th. Not sure about the inside stuff yet. It's a start. After all we'll take things one day at a time Wishing everyone a very happy Easter.

Here's a link to our District 26 website Check it out and be informed. There's info about our recent (virtual) Spring Conference and a Celebration of Awards. Need to add the logo for our 2020 website award. We also have a couple of YouTube videos for you to view with more to follow. I also need to add the 2021 VSC logo. Oh well. Stay healthy and be safe.

Looking for someone to be our Newsletter editor

The United States Power Squadron's mission is to provide leadership in recreational boating safety through education and civic activities while promoting fellowship for its members. Located in Florence South Carolina, the Swamp Fox Power Squadron offers many carefully planned courses in subjects like Seamanship, Piloting, Plotting and Position Finding, Celestial Navigation, Cruise Planning, Engine Maintenance, Marine Electronics, Sailing, and much more. These courses are taught by experienced member instructors, and members who complete them are recognized. Join us on-the-water and off with fellow members who are skilled in boating. On-the-water activities include cruises, rendezvous, sail races, navigation contests and even fishing derbies. Activities ashore include meetings with marine programs, parties, dinner-dances, picnics and field trips. Be sure to read our latest newsletter, FOXTALES, to learn about squadron updates and other important information.
