THIS CANNOT BE LET GO WITHOUT BEING SAID:

There is a lot of work going on behind the scenes to help keep us on the water that make all of what we do possible.

We also have been recently gifted by an anonymous donor with a new tent and hand cart. This will be utilized in our events and regattas. Thank you so much for your kindness and thoughtfulness!
