Vice Commodore's Report
Joe Powers, Aquavit

It's still the heart of winter but it's not too early to start getting in the mood for spring. The upcoming land get-togethers are a great opportunity to talk to the other club members, share plans for the sailing season and retell the (enhanced) stories of our major sailing adventures.

The first party will be at Glenn and Susan Whaley's, at 5PM on February 5. They will have lasagna as the entrée and ask that attendees bring an appropriate accompaniment. Please let Susan and Glenn know, by email, whether or not you will be attending. If you do plan to be there let them know what you plan to bring.

Joe and Margie will host the March party on March 12, 5PM, at their home at 405 Berkshire Drive in Riva. The menu will include corned beef and cabbage. We are requesting folks let us know by email of their plans to attend. We will also be asking for contributions of hors d'ouevres, salad, or dessert.

The April dinner will be on the 12th 9th, 6 PM, at the Italian Market on Defense Highway. This is a new location for the spring dinner and we think that you will enjoy it. You can look at their menu on the website.

As usual, we are looking for suggestions to improve these occasions, either with guest speakers or suggestions for a particular theme. If you have any ideas let us know.

Spring Challenge

I was leafing through an old sailing book recently and came across this picture I had cut from a SpinSheet magazine of a CSC raft up. This picture was used for several years in SpinSheet with their monthly advertising for Cruising Club Notes.

A special prize ( the usual bottle of excellent vintage wine from Ariel's cellar will be awarded at an early CSC raft up this spring to the first person to identify the location and date of the day this picture was taken. Through tedious and lengthy research this information has been obtained, so don't just make it up! Oh, you must be at the raft up to get the wine. Any unclaimed wine will be consumed.

It's That Time of Year Again!

2010 was a fun year for sailing and friendships. Let's see how much fun we can share in 2011.

It's that time of year again -- the chance to renew membership in the Chesapeake Sailing Club for another season. It's a mere $20/year - you certainly can't beat that! Early is good, so please send along a check made out to "CSC" to the Secretary/Treasurer at 566 Wayward Drive, Annapolis, MD 21401. That would be me, by the way. And thanks to all for a quick response! I would like to be able to get a new roster out by the end of February.

To those who have already responded to the email, "Thank you."!
