Well folks, after a long, long winter....I am happy to report that the boating season is here and our members are out and enjoying the club's boats on a daily basis.
We opened officially for the season the first week of May and shortly thereafter, members started heading out into Boston Harbor and the surrounding waters. Those members who went out early were treated to spectacular views of the sailboats competing in the Volvo Ocean Race. The sailing teams raced here from Rio De Janiero, stayed in Boston for about 2-3 weeks and then raced the final leg across the Atlantic to Galway. Team Puma (the local syndicate) by far had the coolest looking boats. I can't tell you how many support vessels I saw with a red puma stripe on them....great marketing technique.
On Sunday, June 7th....Constitution Marina had their annual kickoff party and judging by the crowd it was a huge success. Numerous Navigator Club members were in attendance and everyone was able to enjoy some good food and drink, while making a few new friends.
Shifting gears a little bit, I am happy to announce a new addition to The Navigator Club team. Chris Haight, a sophomore at Boston College and a native of Beverly Farms will be our Saturday dockmaster. Chris is a lifelong boater and is excited to be a part of the team and help members during the check in and check out process.
Before I sign off, I wanted to mention one other upcoming event. On Wednesday, July 22nd from 6:00 pm until 8:00 pm...The Navigator Club and Hartwick College (my alma mater) will be hosting a party on the deck at the marina. All Navigator Club members are encouraged to attend.
