TECH TIP - ? SUBJECT 1 -
Demasting a Boat! (Cancelled due to snow storm. Moved to
January meeting). __________ SNOW STORM ___________ Apologies if you showed up at the Legion for last Wednesday's AOSA meeting. Because of the snowstorm the Legion decided to close early in the afternoon and sent their staff home. They just didn't tell us. When we got there at 5:30 the building was dark - and it was only by accident that we ran into the janitor and found out what the situation was. We put a note on the door... and I tried to send an email from my cell phone to warn you all off. For some reason the cell phone did not send out the message until 8:00 PM.. argh! The good news is that Duncan has agreed to recount the Swiftsure race at the January meeting. |
