The MTOA Rendezvous ended
yesterday and as always it was a great time. We gave a talk about
cruising the coast of Maine and a 2 hour talk on Medical Emergencies
for Cruisers. We exchanged some terrific tips at the Round Table
meetings. There is no better source of good, reliable information
than talking to others who are actually out there cruising and living
onboard.
Fours days of fun,
parties, meeting many old friends, and making great new ones, what
could be better?
It's a lot of work and
the kids get short changed as we run off to meetings, dinners,
parties, and friends' boats both day and night. But the wonderful,
warm comments we hear from the members make it all worthwhile. We
feel especially proud of the medical emergencies series. If just one
cruiser in the future is helped we have given back more than we could
ever hope. And of course there is the awards dinner where members were
forced to listen to our silly songs.
Many folks have asked for copies of our slides and the words to our new song. You can find the
Maine slides here:
The slides for Part 1 and
for Part 2 of the Medical Emergencies talks are here:
And last but not least,
there is a video from Celeste Yost of "I Told You So" here:
We thank everyone who
made the MTOA event a success and will look for you along the
waterway. Next weekend we will be speaking at the Krogen Rendezvous.
We'll see some of the same friends and catch up with others. The
people – it's the best part of cruising.

Sorry we are not going to see you guys at the Krogen rendezvous. We just left Waterford, NY this morning and are anchored at Schodack Creek where we put our mast back up. Weather off NJ not looking great for when we are likely to get there, so who knows when we will get to the Chesapeake. Hope to see you guys on the way south. How far south are you planning this year?
Hi Wayne, Carol and Eddie...
We'll be starting to head seriously south around the end of October. We'd like to end up in Jacksonville, FL this year to make a base and get more ActiveCaptain/CaptainRated work done.
We should definitely cross paths on the Chesapeake given your location and the time.
