March 13 GMM Cancelled
Hello,
Given the high concern nationwide and more recently locally for maintaining social distancing, it is appropriate that we cancel our March 13th Dinner Meeting.
Contributing to this decision is the fact that the Corona Virus is dangerous for the age of the very people that make up a large majority of our gathering. This has been a challenging decision for us to make and we appreciate your understanding and apologize for any inconvenience that this may cause you.Regards,
Doug Bass, SN

Boaters make a plan
For our annual halloween raftup it was warm and sunny but we only had one boat interested in coming to la Playa Bay, so instead, we had a barbeque at PJ’s Point at Southwestern Yacht Club. Even that had did not go as planned as a wedding party was using the point for a photo opp. So being adaptable boaters, we dragged the picnic table into the parking lot and using our portable grill by the dumpster. This is now our annual ‘dumpster’ party! Great burgers and dogs from the grill, german beer, and festive halloween desserts. It was great fun and I can’t wait until our next get together.
