VI South Club Night – Heart and Soul at Sea

Please join VI South at our final traditional club night of the season (and don’t forget to mark your calendars for the June 13 BBQ, with information and registration coming soon!). Meeting details and Zoom ticket purchase information is below.

Offshore Passages in the Pacific from the First Mate’s Point of View

Join First Mate, Margaret Cormie, and David Vanderhoek, Captain, who will present their offshore passages aboard Heart and Soul, their Sceptre 43, with stops meant to whet your appetite for offshore sailing. They did many Pacific passages, criss-crossing from South America to many Pacific Islands, including Easter Island and The Marquesas, then north to Hawaii and home.

Margaret and David will also describe their five years of preparation for going offshore, joining BCA Fleet, doing two VICE trips, and taking various courses such as Celestial Navigation, Radar, Safety at Sea, as well as Spanish lessons.

About the speakers: Dave has been sailing all his life. Margaret had sailed occasionally before they married in 2008 and, when they decided to go offshore, it didn’t take Margaret long to join Dave’s enthusiasm! Last year Margaret and David presented their trip through Patagonia and around Cape Horn.

Hybrid Meeting Format

In-Person Attendees:

For those attending in-person, the format will be very much the same as “normal”. Doors open at 7:00 and meeting starts at 7:30, with presentation immediately to follow.

Covid Protocol: COVID protocols have been suspended as per BCA policy available here. Please remember to respect those members and guests who may choose to wear a mask to BCA events at this time.

Cost: $5/Members, $10/Non-Members

Virtual Attendees:

Virtual club nights (via Zoom) have enabled BCA to continue our monthly meetings and presentations throughout the pandemic, with an added bonus of expanding our community to members and non-members across the globe.

With the return to in-person meetings, BCA has continued to provide a virtual component to our club nights as it has significant benefits to our membership. This, however, comes at a cost for the purchase of cameras, audio equipment and the lost revenue due to a decrease of in-person attendance used to off-set venue costs.

Cost: Members—$5.00 per connected device; Non-Members, $10 per connected device
