RMPS entered the Millennium in its twenty-ninth year! Our Squadron conducted a Spring and Fall Boating Class and new members were received from both classes. Our internal educational program yielded a large success also. The Sail Class was the most popular class for our membership. Two members, Lt/C Kendall M. Cranston and Lt/C Robert E. Glaser, advanced to the grade of Advanced Pilot. Three members passed the new USCGA Vessel Safety Check written test and upon passing the practical portion will become our squadron's first Vessel Safety Check Instructors. Three members, P/C/C L. M. Barnes III, SN, 1/Lt Guy T. Baxter, P, and P/C James F. Dugan III, JN, obtained their USCG Captain's License. Cooperative Charting was held at Belhaven and was an outstanding event, complete with a cook out. RMPS and several members once again achieved the USPS® National Honor Roll for Cooperative Charting. We cruised to Ocracoke with eight boats and about twenty members present. Mother Nature kicked up her heels to honor us and provided a little more foul weather experience for the boat skippers during the Friday crossings. We again enjoyed the island atmosphere and great dining. We held a rendezvous in Oriental with five boats and about eighteen members present. The highlights included a raft up, a great picnic prepared by our members, and a shore party evening serenade. The Coastal Plains Signal once again received the USPS® 2000 Excellence in Journalism Award. The RMPS Website received the USPS® 2000 Website Excellence Award. The monthly Family Nights have been extremely interesting and informative, including a presentation by Claiborne Young, author of the Cruising Guide to Coastal NC, and a tour thru the C-Hawk Boat Works in Bailey, NC. Our November meeting was a very successful Past Commander's Pig Picking and our Christmas Party was held at the Legacy Restaurant. Page updated 25 January 2003. |
