Hello!
As some of you may know, "Peaches" (our Skipper) has been out-of-action for a few weeks for medical reasons. Yes, he's doing fine and recovering well! Since I've been running things in his absence, he's asked me to make this month's report to you.

This past month, Sea Scouts hosted the monthly Log Bending at the Inland Fish & Game Conservation Club. We barbequed (after an hour or so of trying to find the propane tanks) and held a "Raingutter Regatta" (after an hour or so of trying to set up the course!). Arrowhead's Lee Tracy's Kahsule won the regatta, and Aleq (of our Learning for Life crew) won the "best dressed" award for his boat, Sea Dogs. You can see photos of the day here.

Our Sea Scout and Learning for Life crews also posted and retired the colors at the District Spring Conference in Palm Springs on Saturday, March 14.

In the upcoming months, some our Sea Scouts will be attending the Paddler's Cruise, completing America's Boating Course, and staffing an event booth at the Splash! Festival. Be sure to join us!

We're off to another busy year! Our current list of activities include working on our Flotilla, hosting a LOG bending, Canoeing the Colorado River, attending the Sea Scout Regatta, working at the Splashfest, rock climbing, camping and helping with the jackets for Life booth. And that just gets us to June!

Sea Scouts will be hosting the LOG bending on Sunday, March 1 at 2 PM at the Inland Fish & Game Conservation Club in Highland. In conjunction with the LOG bending we are hosting a pot-luck and a "Raingutter Regatta," a hot air (lung) powered sail race using a couple of 10' raingutters filled with water and small wooden sailboats. I showed off the "official" regatta kit available from the Boy Scouts at last month's Squadron dinner meeting, but anyone may make a sailboat using some simple guidelines.

-Mr. Pat Rogers, Skipper
