True to our primary mission to make boating safer through education, we have produced a full schedule of courses and seminars. Already underway is our America’s Boating Course, which qualifies graduates for the Florida Safe Boating Certificate.
We are also conducting nine session courses in Marine Electrical Systems, Piloting and Seamanship as well as two-hour seminars on anchoring, partner in command and charting/GPS.
Details can be found in our ads, which appear in this paper, as well as our website: www.marcoislandsailandpowersquadron.org.

The annual Wine and Hors d’oeuvres Party is always well-attended.
Some highlights to this year’s silent auction selections are a collector’s edition, original Ferrari men’s watch; four clubhouse box seats plus free parking to a Miami Marlins regular season baseball game; a Penn rod and reel combo; a two-night stay at the JW Marriott on Marco Island; a three month season membership to the Marco Island Yacht Club; a full mouth whitening program from local dentist, Dr. Schulze, Island Tower Dentistry; a Hinkley chandelier; and four top end Kilcher ceiling fans, plus numerous other interesting items.
There will be about 30 raffle drawings along with the 50/50 drawing. And, there is a $250 door prize.
Tickets are $25 and can be purchased by contacting Tippy at 239-248-5815 or tippchgc@aol.com.
This is the only fundraiser for the Marco Island Sail & Power Squadron, and the funds help us continue our active and ambitious program of promoting boating safety through education and civic engagement. Please attend and support your local power squadron!
