Monthly Meetings
We have our executive committee meeting the second Wednesday of every month. These are
held at the bridge officers' homes on a rotating basis. The meetings start at 1930.
Check the calendar for dates and locations.
We hold our general members' meeting the third Wednesday of every month. These are held at local restaurants or other meeting facilities. Socializing begins at 1830. Dinner at 1900. Reservations are needed by Friday before the meeting. There is also a standing list for automatic reservations. If you make a reservation and don't show up, you are still liable for the cost of the meal unless you cancel ahead of time. If you show up without a reservation, you may not get to eat, but you can still come to the meeting. Check the calendar for dates and locations. Here is a map showing the general location of some of the meeting places.
First Sunday Rendezvous
Every month, on the first Sunday, we get together for a raft-up in Old Ranch Slough or Carter
Slough on Eagle Mountain Lake. We meet at 1400 at either the squadron's or the Boatmans'
mooring buoy. Anyone that would like to join us, but doesn't have a boat, is welcome to hitch
a ride with the folks who dock at West Bay Marina.
They like crew to show up at 1300. Other members may come from the Fort
Worth Boat Club, or from private docks.
This is a contest involving following a pre-planned course in a pre-determined amount of time. The trick is that you have to make a calculated guess as to how long it will take to finish the course before you even start. Without a timepiece! You have to depend on your navigation skills and knowledge of your boat. For the past few years, we have held this at Cedar Mills Marina on Lake Texoma.
This is a contest of basic boating skills. You know, the ones you learned in Seamanship class and practice on a regular basis. Right? Well then, this is a good refresher course. Lots of fun, either way.
Navigation Contest
A contest for the serious navigator. Put all your seamanship, piloting, and navigation
skills to the test!
