Already have a boat but want to learn a little more? We met this Florida couple in Rogersville Alabama at the AGLCA Fall Rendezvous. They recently moved up from a 31 foot boat to well over 40 feet and want to polish their cruising skills in anticipation of starting the loop. […]

Really! Pretzel Salad?? This is so much yummier than the name lets on! Just had a party with LOTS of boaters and this was such a hit…once we convinced the guys to try anything with SALAD in the title! Thanks to Judy Doucette for this festive fun dessert!

PUPPY CHOW? Not really food for doggies but your tail will be a-waggin’ when you taste this yummy people snack. Thanks to Jan from our Vero Beach Power Squadron for this terrific treat!
Did you just say- OH NO! Not KNOTS!
Do you know which knot is appropriate for every situation when you are boating? Captain Chris will teach you this lost skill of knot tying in a hands-on seminar. Which knots are best for long term dockage or just tying up to the fuel dock on a sunny day. Clove hitch, two half hitches, cleat knot, sheepshank and bowline are some of the more common knots we’ll cover. No experience is necessary to attend and it’s also a good refresher for salty dogs who have gotten a bit rusty. […]
