Upcoming programs with a guest speaker and CAPCA business meetings:
NOTE: This is the third Monday of May.
Captains need to be prepared for various medical challenges at sea, ranging from minor injuries to full-blown emergencies. Even a small cut on a finger or toe can become a liability if not properly treated. Other common occurrences on the water, such as heat exhaustion and hypothermia, can quickly escalate to life-threatening emergencies if timely action is not taken.
Join us on May 19 when Dr. Bill White, a retired emergency physician and avid sailor, will provide medical recommendations for captains and share relevant stories based on decades of experience on and off the water. Bill recently delivered similar subject matter for MTAM Safety at Sea seminars and is tailoring the content for CAPCA, focusing on charter and delivery captains as well as bay cruising and offshore sailing. He will also review what it means to be a medical officer and how to prepare for extended voyages from a medical perspective.
The Zoom link will be posted on the home page one week before the presentation.
Speakers/Positions: Moderator: Captain Hilary Howes with panelists:
Save some time on your calendar for CAPCA’s hybrid meeting (in-person and on Zoom) on the evening of June 23, when we take “A Deeper Dive into the Boating Business” with three panelists and a moderator who are all active captains working their licenses in a variety of ways. Moderator Hilary Howes is a yacht broker, sailing teacher, delivery, and charter captain. She will pose questions to charter captain Shawn Owen of Chronic Sailing, delivery captain Kate Hollingsworth of Captain Boomies fame, and instructor-captain Mike Hull of Annapolis Sailing. These captains are willing to share the good, the bad, and the crazy. Not only will we take your questions, but your answers too!
