We are pleased to announce that the first Tradewinds Sailing School and Club “FURL UP THE WEEK FRIDAYS” has begun!!
Please consider attending one or more of these member networking opportunities! It is a great way for new members to meet other newbies as well as veterans. Instructors will always be attending to help with fire-pit-tables, the Barbeques and ready to discuss any sailing topic you may think of.
As a personal favorite aspect of mine, the plan is that there is no plan! There is no particular agenda, topic, or theme – simply a raw networking event intended to increase the social interaction among our members and keep getting us all out on the water more! (Where have I heard “more time on the water” before? Let’s get out there!) When you come consider bringing food and/or beverage for yourself and/or to share with others, but if you don’t that’s OK! (There is no plan!) Come as you are ready only to engage in conversation, meet other members, and watch the boats from the patio!
The first event was held on May 16 after a sizable brisket mysteriously appeared in the clubhouse the day before. — Todd skillfully lit up the smoker and everybody in a half-mile radius was tempted by the amazing smells coming from the unit ALL DAY LONG! Veggie, fruit, and other delectable delights were enjoyed while tall sea stories mingled with discussions of proper sail trim and overnight anchoring experiences almost simultaneously!
If you are sailing Friday; “Furl it up” while the traffic dies down. If you are sailing Saturday; “Furl it up” and come the evening before! If you are just passing through; “Furl it up” and stop by! You see a name on the Crew Search list and want to meet them in person; “Furl it up”! A good time was had by all – don’t miss the next one!
The next Furl Up The Week Friday will be on June 13, then July 18, Aug 15, Sept 12, Oct 10. Meet new friends! Arrange to crew with other members! Take advantage of this wonderful members networking opportunity! You never know what libations, treats, and new connections there may to experience until you come, so “Furl Up the Week” on June 13!
