The 2023 edition of the Bluewater Cruising Association (BCA) Member Directory has arrived in mailboxes from Vancouver Island to Calgary to Ontario and beyond – have you received your copy?  If not, you might want to contact BCA’s Administrator, Amanda Lance, to ensure your membership and mailing address are up-to-date.

The Directory is a great way to learn more about BCA and its programs, meet the 2023 Watchkeepers and Board of Directors, and, most importantly, to connect with other BCA members. Perhaps you’ll keep your copy on your boat – when you drop the hook and see another vessel proudly flying the BCA burgee, you can look them up and connect with new friends – or you may want to keep it close at hand at home.

Please take a minute to check your own listing and the additional details published in the “sorts” (boat name, boat type, where moored, yacht club affiliation, etc) found in the latter half of the Directory.  Every effort is made to include accurate, up-to-date info (as of March 1, 2023), but we know that BCA members are active and move, change contact info, boats, moorages, etc throughout the year.

If your information or that of your boat is out-of-date or incomplete, please update your profile and your boat’s sub-account on the BCA website (log-in, click on Manage Profile and Edit Bio) or email your changes to Amanda.

BCA is very appreciative of the marine industry businesses who purchased advertising in this year’s Directory.  Should you have the opportunity to support them, please identify yourself as a BCA member and say “thank you”.
