2012 Race Time! Port Mansfield Dottie and Mac McMillan Race

The Management — Tue, 01 May 2012 02:45:29 +0000

ATTENTION!

The annual Dottie and Mac McMillan Race to Port Mansfield will be Saturday May 19^th. It will be a reverse order start so the slower boats will be first out so the fleet will finish up in Port Mansfield about the same time. The dock facilities are very nice and a fun evening can be expected dining and dancing on the docks adjacent to our boats at El Jeffes. Sunday each boat will return at its leisure. A great time will be had by all. If you have any additional questions please feel free to call or e-mail me. Please let me know if you plan to go so we can make the appropriate reservations at El Jeffes. Hope to sea you there.

NOTICE 2012 LMYC Training session begins

Our first training session covers Coastal/Local Navigation with important techniques and skills to successfully make your way through local waters with increasing accuracy and minimal unplanned visits to mother earth. Mr. Jim Godfrey requested deferring his participation to the future pending some health related concerns. Therefore, we will be present and ready with an amended version. Saturday’s program will not last for six hours.

We will start at 10:00 a.m. Saturday, January 21st. at LMYC.

Lunch will be up to the attendees. We should finish by noon.

There will be a team of presenters covering several topics such as:

1. Local knowledge and charts
2. Dead Reckoning.
3. Navigation by depth sounder and radar.
4. Set and drift.
5. Buoys and Lights
6. Range Marks and reading the chart
7. 60 D ST
8. Charts and Planning
9. Bearings vs Headings.
10. Navigation at night and in close quarters.
11. Sound and light
12. Barges and traffic
13. Online and Print Resources

Please bring your local charts. This is a timely session given the events in Italy last week. I recognize we can’t cover these topics in a comprehensive manner in just two hours but we can make it as useful and focused as we can.

Thank you,

John Pinkerman
