Offshore Sailing at Its Best –
Jen Mooney, virtually single handed, recently crossed the Pacific from
California to Hawaii. She is a Wabamun sailor, a sterling sailing
student of Paul Kantor, and she will share her story of the crossing.
How did this amazing event happen? You’ll have to come to the presentation
to find out. Indeed, sailing from NA to HI is on my personal bucket list, so
I’ll be there with bells on. Don’t miss it!

Automated Mutual-assistance
Vessel Rescue System (AMVER) in marine rescues. Amazing video from
