ESSA General Meeting on March 18th at 12:30 at La Tolteca

STARBOARD !!!

Now that I have your attention  😁  we will be having a General Meeting on March 18th at 12:30 at La Tolteca on Rt. 50 in Salisbury where John Womack will be giving a talk on boat safety.

After the loss of Roy Barker we thought it would be a good idea to review safety procedures and equipment so hopefully, if there is another accident,  there will be safety equipment on board so crewmembers can react quickly and appropriately.

Please respond to this email if you plan on attending so I can let the restaurant know how many to expect.

Thank you and hope to see everyone there!

Greig Mitchell, Skipper of If..., Sailing Away

 

Greig at the Helm


Greig Mitchell passed away on February 9 after a long battle with multiple myeloma.

Greig served as Commodore in 2013-2014 and will always be remembered as a super nice guy who always had a smile on his face and hardly ever missed a race. 

As soon as funeral arrangements are announced I will let everyone know.  Greig is survived by his wife, Linda.
