SEAFARERS CRUISING CLUB Harry Ensley, Commodore, hpensley@comcast.net, www.pgiseafarers.org

The writing of this issue is clouded by reports of Hurricane Irma preparations. By the time you
read this issue we are either breathing sighs of relief or hard at work recovering. I’m hoping for
sighs of relief! This year we instituted a “Help Event” where Seafarers could sign up to give or
get help from their fellow Seafarers for tying down boats. We had several people volunteer to
help and I think that it will become a welcome feature of the Seafarers in the future, but
hopefully, unnecessary!

The Seafarers had two cruises in September; one to
South Seas Resort and Marina on Captiva and the
other to Tween Waters Resort. We also had a visit to
the Visani Comedy Club which provided many laughs
and relief from heat and summer doldrums.

October promises to be even better. The weather will
begin to cool down and Halloween decorations will be
everywhere. Several nearby marinas will have
Halloween activities including boat decorations. Check
out their websites to see what they have going on. We
have a lunch cruise planned to Leverock’s Restaurant
in Placida and later in the month a three-day cruise to

Pink Shell Marina in Ft. Myers.

Much of October will be spent getting ready for
our November 3 - 5 regatta. Vice Commodore
Peter Fucini and his wife, Amy, have selected
‘The 60’s’ as the theme for this year’s regatta.
We are looking forward to lots of fun. There is
still time to join our club and enjoy the regatta
activities.

We Seafarers enjoy the company of many
active members planning and participating in
our fun boating and land adventures. If you

would like to see if our boating group is for you,
join us for our Happy Hour on the Second and
Fourth Thursday of each month at St. Andrews
South from 5 to 7 p.m., or come to our general
meeting held at the PGICA on the fourth Tuesday
of each month. If you have decided you want to
join us, contact our Membership Chair, Gayle
Clark at gjhc1611@gmail.com.
