Busy, busy day.
Spent the morning training some new members. We headed out into Boston Harbor, showed them some of the typical areas to avoid (lower middle, 5A can, rams head flats), went over to Spectable Island Marina...and then headed back to to the marina to practice docking and maneuvering in tight quarters. This new member did a great job...and is really a fast learner. We will be taking them out again (3rd time) for some additional training. Practice, practice, practice.
Shifting gears a bit.........Around noon, I interviewed a candidate for our Sunday dockmaster position and I am happy to announce that Mike Primpas of Milton, a junior at Mass. Maritime Academy is the latest addition to the Navigator Club team. Mike is another lifelong boater and will be a valuable source of knowledge. Say hi to him when you're down on the docks on Sundays.
And to close out the day, I headed up to North Shore to skipper a 60' private yacht on a whale watch cruise. Lots of birds, whales, bait and TUNA on Stellwagen. What a pleasure it was being out there today. Thank the gods that the forty days and nights of rain seem to be behind us.
Well, it's now 9:00 pm and time to sign off and get some chow.
Regards,
Capt. Ed Mancini
