Good morning. The date is fast approaching for the upcoming ASA General Members Meeting in Mysitic Conn. I was reminded yesterday by Paul Gray that I had not yet sent in my membership renewal. Well, that has now been completed. I'm looking forward to Feb. 2nd as we gather to renew aquaintences and friendships and then Feb.3rd for the meeting. Members and all concerned with Schooners are, for the most part, an interesting group of people and I will never tire of the tales of schooners, history of working schooners and travel on boats.  

I want to remind and encourage members to renew your Mid-Atlantic Chapter membership as you renew your ASA membership. New members are also encouraged to join. I know Jim Davis and Paul Schaub are planning the next meeting and we will all get details soon.
