Upcoming Programs and Business Meetings

Join Annapolis sailor and author David Gendell as he unpacks the story of the historic Thomas Point Shoal Lighthouse. The beloved screwpile-style lighthouse at Annapolis celebrates its 150th birthday this year and has been remarkably preserved. David wrote the first and only book specifically devoted to the lighthouse, Thomas Point Shoal Lighthouse: A Chesapeake Bay Icon, published in 2020. His presentation is packed with images, maps, and history, including a 2020 lighthouse visit with Jimmy Buffett!

The Zoom link will be posted on the home page one week before the presentation.

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.
