CPS-ECP is Launching a Monthly Webinar Series

Webinars

May 14, 2020

We’re launching an exciting new webinar series for people who want to brush up on their boating skills or explore a new interest. Our volunteers have been developing this collection of informative webinars and will be bringing them to your living room, cottage, boat or office by offering them online.

Webinars are not new to CPS-ECP; over the years many Squadrons have developed their own successful webinars to satisfy a local need. We’re now offering some of these as monthly webinars at 8pm Eastern Time for everyone to enjoy. We’ll cover subjects such as Automatic Identification System, Environment, Weather, Paddling and traditional subjects like Tides, Charting and Celestial Navigation.

Each webinar will be presented by our experienced boaters for an hour with time for you ask your questions. The cost is $30 for non-members and $25.50 for members. Each attendee will also receive an ePub copy of the webinar booklet.

Here’s the schedule:

Tahiti—Updates from Paradise

By Zuzana Prochaska

I’ve been to Tahiti seven times—six on charter and once as crew for a couple of yachties. Over the 25 years that I’ve been visiting, it’s changed dramatically. Yet, inexplicably, it has also stayed the same.

Lounging on the flybridge of our Sunsail 454, I had time to think about this dichotomy as I toasted the nighttime skies of Bora Bora and specifically the Southern Cross, a constellation that never fails to hypnotize. As the Crosby, Stills & Nash (1982) tune reminds us:

…you understand now why you came this way.
