WHAT THE SEA SCOUTS EARN
NEWS FEATURE:
Iceboating began on Lake Como in December and is now
on Delavan Lake. Geneva Lake froze over on the night of the 2nd so we will
be sailing there soon.
Pistol shooting starts on Mondays from 21 January through
February.
Oour Basic Open Water SCUBA course commences in March
at the Christian League for the Handicapped pool.
"Apocolypse", our Class A iceboat, is being repaired
and probably will not be sailed this
season. However "Death", our side-by-side skeeter,
is ready to go and our DNs, "Acorn II"
and Scrambler", are scheduled to be set up on Geneva
Lake on Sunday, 6 January.
Our soft water vessels, "Dee-Lish", "Fire Bird and
"Sea Bird" have been stored.
The mini 12, the M and M-20 are in storage along with
the E and the Boston Whaler.
"Hathor" is snug in her boat house.
We have lots of large and small sail boats, ice boats
and power boats.
We sail on the ice (hard water) and in the soft water of Geneva Lake,
Wisconsin.
We race on all of the Inland Lake Yachting Association's member clubs'
waters.
We cruise on Lake Michigan during the summer.
Our Long Cruises are usually on a tall ship alternaging between the
Atlantic and the Pacific Oceans.
All of our Sea Scouts enjoy SCUBA diving, pistol competition, iceboating,
water skiing and sailing.
