As you know, CPS courses are thorough and up-to-date. But there isn't a chapter in any of our books which tells you what to do when your rudder falls off... especially in the middle of the Pacific Ocean.
What happens next? Here's the scoop:
What: Fall Haul-out social featuring Karen and Tim Ruthenburg's presentation, "Sailing from the North Channel to Australia."
When: Thursday, October 24, 7 p.m.
Where: 46 North Brewery, 1275 Kelly Lake Road, Sudbury (snacks provided, no charge for admission). [46.5221 deg N / 80.9530 deg W]
In 2017 the Ruthenburg's set sail from the North Channel bound for Sydney, Australia, where at the end of their voyage they parted company with their trusty CS 36 sailboat, "Vata". On October 24 they'll share their adventures with us at the annual Fall Haul-out. Admission is free, the beer (brewed in-house) is outstanding, and this is an excellent chance to meet the local Bridge, share your suggestions, hear about upcoming courses, and meet other boaters!
Don't miss it!
Happy tarping and anti-freezing,
