Bitter Ends attend Florida Women's Sailing Association* (FWSA)
meeting on Wednesday, Jan. 17. Twenty Bitter Ends signed
up to go to Saint Petersburg Yacht Club at Pass-A-Grille Marina.
Between the Ship's Store, ran by Bitter Ends Judy Karr and
Gloria Casey, and the Re-gifting Sale to benefit the Young Woman
Sailor of the Year fund, much shopping was accomplished before
FWSA President, our Bitter End, Ann Carroll, opened and lead the
meeting. Delegate Past Captain Carolyn Holmes gave our
interesting Bitter Ends report following the guidelines. The
business meeting was short with some bi-laws changes and
questions raised about the new team rules for the Rainbow
Regatta. Luffing Lassie Linda Schwartz reported about new
club possibilities and her start a club materials. Bitter
End Cindy Grant appreciated getting this info to help start a
club up north in Canada. Luffing Lassie Fran Mericle
reported on how past winners of the Young Woman's Sailor Award
were doing. The speaker was Dr. Ann Weaver, a Dolphin
Investigator, and author of "Secrets behind the Dolphin Smile-25
Amazing Things Dolphin Do". Her presentation was very
informative and interesting and included many, many Dolphin
photos. The 50/50 drawing was done, no winner from our
Bitter Ends. Lunch was tasty and served on a fresh
pineapple section with peppermint ice cream for dessert.
Note the centerpieces were little dolphins atop slender vases
with blue liquid and complemented the speaker's program.
