“Course Plotting” Led by Jay Kurtz ???
This program will be on manually plotting a compass course to sail across the Gulfstream from Miami to Bimini. The point is to develop the ability to utilize the information available (weather forecasts, time of the year, tides, winds, boat speeds, currents, etc) to manually navigate a safe course - rather than relying on technology , which can fail.

“ ‘ What If ’ Scenarios” Led by Julie Stocksdale
What if… We all wonder (or we should, at least) how we might respond in unforeseen circumstances during a sailing adventure. Whether we’re just out for a day sail on the bay or out of sight of land, something might go wrong. During this meeting we’ll propose various scenarios and discuss ideas on what to do if it happens on our boat. Each person should come prepared with several things that might go wrong to throw in for discussion. Don’t be afraid to be wild and crazy, because your boat and Mother Nature can be even more wild and crazy.

“Cooking Aboard and Abroad” Led by Bill Cullen
“Types of meals needed, planning menus, types of recipes,equipping the galley,
Freezer and Fridge use and contents, what doesn't have to go in fridge (even eggs,
Mayo, butter, etc.) provisioning, what to stock and what not to, galley gadgets
On longer trips, I do very little pre-cooking and freezing due to lack of freezer space.
So I talk about meals to cook from scratch. Also, if you go chartering in the BVI,
you wont' be cooking and freezing. And if you are out for several months, or get
invited to cook on a 10-day delivery from Antiqua, you will need to know what to expect. If you charter in Grenada or Tonga, what to expect aboard.

“Sew What” Led by Julie Stocksdale
Sew what. What? Well, whatever. There are many ways we can improve the livability, storage, safety, comfort, etc. on our boats with projects we make ourselves. Obviously, some projects require more expertise and more sophisticated equipment, but even with basic hand-sewing skills or the sewing machine you got for your 16th birthday, you can accomplish a lot. Okay, maybe not an entire cockpit enclosure, but how about a ditty bag? Julie will bring her Sail rite sewing machine and some sailcloth and we’ll make some simple items. If you would like to bring your machine, whatever type, threaded and needled, please do so. Bring ideas, or examples of your own sewing projects as well.
