Ahoy, did you know that Alexander Graham Bell suggested that Ahoy be used as
the greeting when answering the telephone.
Well, the fall courses, Boating, Weather and Radio have all finished, the rain
seems to be increasing in intensity and duration and the temperature is getting
colder, this can only mean that it’s almost Christmas!
A huge thank you to all of the course instructors, coordinators, proctors and help-
ers who made the fall courses possible and a special thanks to Brian Steane and
Garry Emery for loaning their boats for the Practical Cruise. The after cruise
lunch was enjoyed by all of the participants, a special thanks goes to Chris and
Brian Steane for hosting the lunch at their house and thanks to Chris, Sandra and
Lorraine for preparing the food and drinks (the Birthday Cake for Bonnie was a
nice touch).
The social program (more details later in this newsletter) is proving to very popu-
lar again and a big thanks goes to all members of the social committee for your
stellar performance.
The Squadron has made a donation to assist with the purchase of land on Quadra
Island, this is land between the Octopus Islands Marine Park and Small Inlet Ma-
rine Park and includes the freshwater Newton Lake. If the purchase is successful
the entire area will become a larger Marine Park, you can view more information
on this project at www.quadraparks.com .
My very best wishes for a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all of you.
