Vancouver Island Fleet Report: October 2021

November 4th, 2021

On September 29, the B.C.A. V.I. Fleet & Weather groups got a good start on the year though our numbers are still a little hard to settle as we had Zoom visitors from Vancouver and Calgary at this session. Best guess is somewhere around 18 V.I. folks so it looks like we are on our way to a well-attended year.

The first half of the night was devoted to introductions and Daragh highlighting for show-&-tell the new Fleet map on the website.

After a short break Scott Crawshaw did his usual fabulous job introducing Basic Weather to the group and Max Shaw laid out the plan for the year in Weather.

We have had a good response to our survey and the priorities of the group will soon become clear. We have a panel of returned cruisers set to go on October 13 and Dr. Catherine Ascah will be presenting her medical wisdom to the group on November 10.
