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.
