OSCA Updates March
2013
Ahoy
OSCA Fleet!
Spring and
daylight savings time have arrived! I love having the extra hour or so of
daylight at the end of the day. The forecast is for afternoon high temps near
50! I can almost smell the bottom paint. So, it's time to pull back the covers
and get ready to get our bottoms wet.
On March 9 we
had a small but cheery crowd attend our Fleet Night at West Marine. West
Marine, our gracious hosts, did a fine job with the wine and cheese spread. It
was a great time to talk about upcoming events and pick up items to prepare our
boats for the sailing season. A big THANK YOU to Vice Commodore Lee Rabbitt for
making all the arrangements.
The OSCA
renewals were mailed out at the beginning of March. Did you get yours? There
were 100 mailed and so far 45 have been returned. If you need a new form please
contact Deb Chirnside at (401) 253-8584 or email at jdskchirns@aol.com. Our yearbook will
be published very shortly and we want to make sure it is up to date with all
your information.

Save the Bay
is holding their Earth Day Cleanup on Saturday April 20 from 10 am - 12 pm.
This is a great opportunity to give back to the community and cleanup the
shoreline of our beautiful bay. It only takes a few hours and provides a great
deal of satisfaction. We will meet in the parking lot at the Colt State Park
entrance off Poppasquash Rd (the road that leads to the Bristol Yacht Club, it
should be open by then).
