Ahoy MSA Crew!

Let’s celebrate Thanksgiving the sailor’s way — with good food, good friends, and a bit of fun as we chart our next course together.

Our Commodore will bring the turkey, so please bring your favorite sides, veggies, fruit, breads, desserts, or punches to share. Let’s make it a feast worthy of the fleet!

The next watch is ready to take the helm!
During our November meeting, we’ll be announcing the individuals stepping into MSA leadership positions for the coming term.
Available roles include:

You’ll also have the chance to meet some of the individuals wanting your nomination. Find this a great opportunity to connect, share ideas, and support MSA into the next season.

Hoist your holiday spirit and join the crew for our MSA Holiday Party!
It’s a night for laughter, good company, and our annual MSA Treasure Trade, a nautical twist on the classic White Elephant gift exchange.

Voting for the Leadership Roles will occur during the Holiday Party. 

MSA Treasure Trade Rules:
Bring a wrapped gift (around $25 or less), something clever, funny, or seaworthy.
Be ready to swap, “steal,” and laugh your way through this merry maritime tradition!
Ugly sweaters are welcome, sailor hats encouraged, and good humor required. We are checking the list to see if we were good enough for Santa to come. 

More information will be posted soon to the Holiday Party Event Link

Mark your calendars for one of the best events of the year — our Annual Awards Banquet!

We’ll celebrate the season’s standout sailors, relive our favorite moments, and toast to smooth sailing in 2025.

️ Dinner: Catered by Chef Dane — a delicious meal you won’t want to miss!
Raise a glass, share a laugh, and help us launch another great year with the MSA fleet.

Tom has shared some photos of sailing gear for sale on Facebook, including a dive suit and other dive equipment. The proceeds from this sale will go to a dear friend who cherishes these items and wants to see them continue to be used and cared for by another sailor. Tom will be arriving early, before the meeting, for anyone interested in discovering some wonderful finds. 

Fair winds, full plates, and festive spirits!!
