OSCA August Updates

 

Ahoy OSCA Fleet!

Our Summer Cruise was a great success! We visited some fantastic ports; Marion, Provincetown, Padamaram and Westport. Our host facilities could not have been more accommodating. The whale watch and jazz show was spectacular in P-town. It was fun having dinner for 21 in Padamaram. The lobster feast put on by Bill and Paula Kaylor in Westport was to die for. A few of us had some mechanical issues but in true OSCA fashion people were always there to help out. It was a true testament of what OSCA is all about. I want to give a huge OSCA THANK YOU to John Impagliazzo for organizing this great trip.

We have some great fun filled events coming up. Here are some details.
