SUMMARY:General Meeting- Mar 17th
DESCRIPTION:Sailing Adventures in the Great Lakes and East Coast + Vendor Pre-sessions \nJoin your sailing colleagues and friends on March 17 for a presentation by Jeff Reiner on his East Coast sailing adventure. In 2021\, Jeff bought a Jeanneau 49DS in Chicago with a plan to sail from the Great Lakes to the Caribbean\, then—over four to five years—through the Panama Canal and on to Washington via Hawaii. As he’ll tell you\, even the best plans take unexpected turns… \nJeff will share stories from his journey out of the Great Lakes\, through more than 100 locks\, down the Hudson River to New York City\, and “down east” to New England while dodging a hurricane. The following year\, he headed south to the Chesapeake\, visiting Washington DC\, Annapolis\, Baltimore\, and Philadelphia. In 2026\, he hopes to reach Boston for the 250th Independence Day celebrations before continuing north to Maine and Nova Scotia. \nJeff is the President of South Sound Honda Suzuki Polaris\, a graduate of Aberdeen High School\, and an experienced adventurer. \nBefore the main meeting\, our round‑table discussions will feature local marine vendors offering advice and services to help you prepare for the summer sailing season. Invitations have gone out to diesel mechanics\, bottom‑paint specialists\, gelcoat and teak refinishers\, electrical and electronics experts\, canvas installers\, and more. \nThe doors at the Olympia Yacht Club will open at 5:45 PM and the pre-meeting sessions will begin at 6:00 PM. The General Meeting will begin at 7:00 PM.
