PGIslanders Monthly Member Meeting
Thursday, February 6, 2025
Join us 6:30 PM for Pizza, followed by
the Meeting and Education Segment
At February’s member meeting, we’ll be voting to approve the slate of candidates for the next watch that begins in March. (Nominations from the floor will also be accepted.)
As part of our February meeting, we’ll be serving pizza. Please bring your own beverages. If you’ll be at the meeting, please help us with ordering enough pizza letting us know how many are coming. If you wish to enjoy the pizza, it’s very important you RSVP by Monday, February 3.
Our 50/50 raffle will be held, so please bring cash (small bills) to participate in this fun, and potentially rewarding, activity.
If you haven’t paid your 2025 PGIslanders dues yet, please bring your payment for $15/person. A check payable to PGIslanders is preferred to cash. Thank you.
Education Segment
Sound Effect Does the Big U
Connie and Jim Merritt
What is the Big U? The “Big U” is a saltwater-based path that begins from either coast of North America and ends on the opposite shore, using the Panama Canal as the adjoining waterway. The result is an expansive, roughly U-shaped journey that provides a breathtaking tour of the North, Central, and South American coastal waterways.
PGIslanders Jim & Connie Merritt are members of the minority of boaters that have cruised the Big U. At our meeting, Jim will tell the tale of the journey that brought them from the Pacific Northwest all the way to Punta Gorda on their 38-foot sailboat, Sound Effect. This should be an interesting presentation that will leave many of us jealous of the amazing adventure Jim and Connie shared.
See you Thursday!
