SPECIAL ANNOUNCMENT

A MESSAGE FROM
THE COMMODORE
After consulting with the Bridge, and based upon the fast-moving events of the past few days including recent recommendations of CDC, USN and others, we are cancelling or postponing all of our current events through April 15, 2020.
These events are:
1. Sailing/Racing Training Session #2 on 19 March postponed to later date TBD.
2. Bridge meeting on April 1, cancelled.
May hold discussions via email as needed.
3. GMM on April 2 cancelled due to new guidelines asking that all organizations refrain from holding any events with more than 10 people in attendance.
4. Full Moon Float on April 7 will be cancelled shortly by MWR due to same event size guidelines.
We are not ready to give up on holding the Anniversary Regatta/CC #2 on April 18. As events unfold in the next few weeks, we will evaluate the efficacy of holding the Regatta or postponing to later in the year.
If you any questions or concerns, please let me or any of your Bridge team know. Stay safe and healthy.

Attention EVERYONE!
W.A.V.E. 2019
Was a HUGH success, and the weather was beautiful. Over 60 veteran's, family members and several service dogs enjoyed a couple of hours sailing and motoring around Pensacola Bay.
The event couldn't have been accomplished without the help of the skippers who volunteered boats, and volunteers who assisted ashore.
THANK YOU TO ALL THE VOLUNTEERS
