Time to go sailing

I had a good meeting with the folks in St. Ignace about bringing Welcome in for their Fish Feast on July 25. I think we'll be able to put that event together and put Welcome on the tour this summer.

Last Thursday I met with a new MHA member, Jonathan Pool, whose card reads, " Strategist and Catalyst for Change". For 25 years, MHA had one boat that moved- Madeline. This year, with Welcome going places, Champion providing a unique sailing opportunity for at-risk youth, our small boat fleet, the Restoration Shop mentoring program coming on line, and the Schooner Festival in September, there is a lot of change going on! All of this is necessary in order for MHA to fulfill our vision of what we want to be in 5 years and beyond.

MHA volunteer John Jeffrey met with me to discuss a proposal to Delta/Porter-Cable for tools for the new shop. We put together some pictures and a list of tools we would need and plan to present this proposal to the Area Rep in the coming weeks.

The May issue of The Scuttlebutt is headed to the printer and should be in the mail early next week. Covers will be coming off the boats this weekend and rigging will begin. This should be a fun year for MHA and I hope to see you on the boats and out sailing.
