Accomplishing our goals, growing our boating skills.
Members of America’s Boating Club Wilmington (ABCW) thoroughly enjoyed some of the beautiful boating weather on the Upper Chesapeake Bay in September. As we begin plans for winterizing our boats, we are somewhat envious of several of our members who are planning their November trips south to Florida and the Bahamas for the winter.
We congratulate two of our members who recently completed the Radar Course offered by the ABC Baltimore squadron, and three of our members who are involved in supporting the update of educational courses offered by the national organization, America’s Boating Club.
In the meantime, the ABCW social committee has been hard at work proposing entertaining and educational activities that will highlight the social events for the fall and winter season. October features a super social in Wilmington, DE, with guest speaker Glen Gauvry. He is the founder and director of the Ecological Research & Development Group Inc. (ERDG), a nonprofit wildlife conservation organization with a mission focused on the conservation of the world’s four extant horseshoe crab species.
December will feature the ever-popular Holiday Social complete with an exchange of white elephant gifts. January and February socials will be held on Zoom and feature speakers from all over the country. We are currently considering a topic on the Mallow’s Bay Ghost Fleet, or possibly the current research on the dolphins appearing in upper Chesapeake Bay.
The purpose of ABC is to improve boating skills through education, promote safe boating practices, and to enjoy being together as like-minded mariners. We are accomplishing all of that! To learn more, visit abc-wilmington.com or contact us at [email protected].
