Cruising in 2005

P/C Robert E. Glaser, JN

2005 Chair of Boating Activities

The year 2005 was a very challenging boating year. A bad weather start in Belhaven in March and April proved we were not always lucky at picking boating activity weekends. That is of course excepting for Labor Day which the Katrina induced gas crunch killed. I also need to say we did have great cruises in May to Norfolk, June to Ocracoke, and August in Oriental. All those who participated I’m sure would agree.

Reports from the beach confirmed that cancellation of the Beaufort cruise was a good decision. Heavy rain, high tides, strong wind, and a 10-foot surf all contributed to a nasty weekend at the coast.

That said, we still have a month or so of opportunities and I will defer to CoOp Chair Greg Zolas to coordinate them as CoOp Charting opportunities. His report covers the next planned outing which was originally planned for Bath but has a venue change to Holiday Island .

Many thanks to P/C/C L. M. Barnes III, SN, and Margaret for their kind invitation to their home in Beaufort. We regret we missed out on their gracious hospitality. We hope the invitation will be a rain check for next year, as Beaufort is a great port to visit.

Safe boating to all.
