UPDATE FIRST MEETING

Hi all, here is an update:

Barbara and I paid the deposit for the charter this morning. Good News! VIP reduced the deposit for now from 25% to 10%. They will need the additional 15% in two months. So Barbara and I will only need to collect $300 per couple at this time.

In response to TL's note and other phone calls we now suggest a meeting at 11:30 AM at TL's home on Saturday. The game is scheduled to start at 5 PM. I will be out of town for one week starting Sunday morning so Sunday is out for me...sorry. Hope Saturday works.

I suggest elections for the following responsibilities, each boat needs one person per duty:


  • Skipper (navigation, anchoring, docking and overall safety of crew and boat
  • First Mate (a second person available to drive the boat if and when necessary)
  • Special Sea and Anchor Duty (anchoring and mooring and docking) This is the person on the decks giving directions for these duties.
  • Coxswain ( in charge of the dinghy)
  • Master at Arms (does a head count as we leave a dock or mooring, ect)
  • Purser (in charge of money for the vessel)
  • Chef (organizes all meals)
  • Engineer (maintains water, fuel and oil levels, does a daily walk through of the boat with the Skipper)

These duties will be more fully discribed on hand out sheets I will give you at our first meeting.
