Power squadron issues report
The Fort Myers Power Squadron returned on Sunday from a fantastic three-day cruise to the beautiful island resort of South Seas on Captiva Island. We had a cook-out Friday night and was served a great BBQ dinner Saturday night. We also had some people come by land to join us. The weather was great, while the beach, the three swimming pools and hot tub kept everybody busy and happy. We are all looking forward to our next cruise next month.
Besides all the fun, we strive very hard to provide education and safety, not only to our members, but to our whole community. All of our classes and seminars are open to the public.
Listed below are some events that will be happening to further the fun and safety for everybody on our waterways.
