Greetings!

One of the best parts of approaching spring is the realization that days are getting longer. It's a great feeling when you're sitting on the back of the boat on Sunday evening, gear put away, having a beer and recapping the day's events when you realize that it is just about 6pm and the sky is still light! Well, praise be! While we may have on another layer or two, it's only a matter of time before the warmer days of summer are upon us. In fact, daylight savings time is just a mere 20 days away! Can you feel the excitement?

 

With all of the buzz about the America's Cup, it's hard not to get a jolt of enthusiasm for our favorite pastime! Are you ready? It's never too early to start planning! The more you get out on the water, the more confident you'll become. Join us for one of our charter events or take a class to hone your skills. You'll be glad that you did!

TODAY'S TIP  
Todays Tip
When your hand falls asleep, stretch your neck for relief!

 

After waking up from a nap in the cockpit, you realize that you have pins and needles in your arms, hands or feet. This is caused by sustained pressure on nerves or blocked blood flow in the arms. Simply rock your head around giving yourself a good stretch of the neck. You'll be back on course in no time!

 




Club Nautique Rocks!
