Pizza Night Friday Feb. 27 – Ten pizzas were made for us by Brick Oven Pizza in League city.  None of the 32 in attendance left the Pavilion B hungry.

Happy Hour Friday Mar. 12 – Almost 20 boaters stopped by Pavilion B for our monthly social, beverage and snacks event.  Members appear to feel better about social activities so the participation increase was noticeable.

Hull Inspection and Maintenance Saturday Mar. 13 – Over at Seabrook Shipyard our Education Director, Daniel Knierien, showed 19 members what to do when we put our boats on the hard.  We examined the hull of his 40’ Hunter for fiberglass gel coat blisters, and wear on through hull fittings.  Of special interest was the preparation and use of epoxy paint to seal the gelcoat before application of your anti-fouling paint.
