December Member Social
Lighted Parade of Boats!
~ Saturday, December 1, 2012
4:00 PM to 8:00 PM
 

Join the Downtown Sailing Center for a kickoff of the holiday season by either participating in the Parade of Lighted Boats (decorating and being on board a cruising boat), or viewing from the docks as the colorful and festive display of watercraft cruise their route.

 

The DSC will incorporate a potluck Social into the event.  Join us at 4:00 PM to decorate a couple of the cruising boats and catch a ride as well as participants.  (Space on board will be limited.)

 

Click Here to Register for the Parade of Lights/December Member Social.

Creating Connections to Sail
  

The most efficient manner of getting out on the water from October to April is to create Skipper & Crew Member connections. 

 

Fall and even into the winter through spring brings with it brisk winds and (hoped-for) "temperate" temperatures! Along with these great sailing conditions comes dwindling daylight. In order to help facilitate member sailing we have added this forum so members can openly communicate about sailing with one another.

 

Follow the link provided, subscribe (you'll receive email notification when someone posts a topic/request) and start connecting!
