From: Cdr Kevin
Dear Boaters,
Spring is here and we are just a few short weeks away from the official start of Summer. Memorial Day begins, for many, the time when we plan many outdoor events including those on the water. It is also one of the most dangerous days for accidents.
Always check above and below the water temperatures. Remember, life jackets can save your life if you happen to be thrust overboard in cold water conditions.
The weather is brisk and the winds have been fierce. So since we may be staying home, there are still many ways to enjoy the cold winter days, and nights. Join fellow Oyster Bay members for Pop-Up and planned events.
-
General Meetings are all about boaters and shore events. Don't miss the opportunity to join us for a day of adventure.
-
Community Events
From Blessing of the Fleet to Wine and Cheese on the Beach, we welcome all. Watch for flyers and event notices. -
Take a safe boating course, it's the law. Check our educational schedule.
Hope to see you all soon.
Cheers, Cdr Kevin
