It is the season to be out there cruising, sailors are dropping anchor and looking through the binoculars’ at the cross trees of the others in the bay. The CA burgee is a magnet and much convivial planning has been achieved, a ‘Blue Water’ Section has now being launched.
The Section facilitates web based communication for CA members who are away cruising in the ‘rest of the world’ - that is not home waters, the Mediterranean, the Baltic or Europe. The Section will welcome CA members who are currently out and about on ‘blue water ‘; those who have been there, done that, and got the T shirt, or those wishing, dreaming and planning to set off at some time. The successful models for this venture are the Baltic and Med Sections and like them the Section will have a ‘forum’ on MyCA. Members will be able to request and share information about cruising areas, routes, pilots, charts etc. It will also put members in different areas of the oceans in touch with each other via web areas for the different parts of the world e.g. Caribbean, Antipodes’ etc. so they can know each other are there and arrange to meet, SSB chat etc.
If you are interested in joining the Blue Water Section please send the following details via email to joint section secretaries Sandy & Brian Duker bluewatersec@gmail.com .
Your name; address (if you have one); boat name; communication details; email; SSB net & mobile no(s); your website details, skype address and any other communication details.
We look forward to hearing from all of you who are out there, have been out there, and who are hoping to be sailing the dream.
