Thought I would send some Alton Water Ski Club “River Road Renegades” pics from 2012. Sucks that all the silt in the river destroyed the ski area by our beach.

Hop On A Plane For A Mini Vacation
News Release From BoatUS
WICKFORD, R.I., Jan. 8, 2020 – Want to get a taste of the boating life or improve your on-water boat handling skills? The nonprofit BoatUS Foundation for Boating Safety and Clean Water together with In-Command Seamanship Training in Wickford offer a choice of four fun and affordable at-the-helm on-water training courses for beginner and experienced boaters taught aboard single-engine powerboats: “Intro to Boating,” “Precision Boat Handling,” “Open Water Boat Handling” and “Open Water Advanced Maneuvering.” Courses are available on April 25 and 26 and May 2, 3, 16, 17, 23 and 24.
All of the course details and signup can be found at BoatUS.org/InCommand.
Each course is three hours and taught at In-Command’s location at 1 Phillips Street in Wickford. The minimum age to participate is 16 years old. Courses start at 9:30 a.m. and 1 p.m., and class size is limited to four students per vessel, ensuring each student gets sufficient time at the helm under the watchful eye of a U.S. Coast Guard-certified instructor.
The “Intro to Boating” course covers shifting and steering, basic docking, open-water handling and basic navigation. “Precision Docking & Boat Handling” covers 180-degree turn-arounds, docking on both port and starboard sides, departing from a dock, and how to use S.C.A.N. procedures to avoid distracted boating. “Open Water Boat Handling” includes utilizing boat trim, displacement and planing handling, object avoidance, ferrying, and emergency stopping. The final course, “Open Water Advanced Maneuvering,” addresses crossing waves and wakes, person overboard retrieval, sharp turns on plane and advanced avoidance maneuvers.
The goal of the BoatUS Foundation and In-Command Seamanship Training courses is to address the high costs typically associated with at-the-helm training, making hands-on boating education more accessible. Courses sell out quickly so early registration is encouraged.

Bloch Marine Service
Yacht Club of St. Louis Location......
Hello Everyone!
We are happy to announce that Bloch Marine Service is becoming Yacht Club Marine. As of October 1st, 2019, Bloch Marine Service will no longer be taking new work orders, and will cease operations by October 31st, 2019.
But to keep service seamless, Yacht Club Marine will be performing the same quality service that you have come to expect over the years at both the Yacht Club of St. Louis and at Harbor Point Marina.
With that said, the winterization season is just around the corner, and it's time to get on the schedule to have expert winterization performed on your boat to protect it from the ravages of winter freezing. And also, winter is the best time to have Yacht Club Marine perform that much needed maintenance or big project that you have been putting off.
If your winterization request is received before October 15th, 2019, you will receive a 10% discount on winterization labor.
There is also a 10% discount on labor performed during the winter months for those big or small projects that the boat may need.
Best regards, and we'll see you out there!
The Yacht Club Marine Crew.
