Marine Operations Calendar 2019

Please take advantage of as many opportunities as will fit into your schedule.  Don’t limit yourself to your personal flotilla events. Volunteer to crew outside your area to learn new tricks from others, get to know other flotilla members, and experience new waters.  Build your experience!
