Happy New Year!
2011 Awards Banquet
Saturday, January 7th
Melbourne Yacht Club, Melbourne, FL
Reservations Required
Temporary Change of Meeting Location
Beginning in November General Membership, our meeting location will change.
The City of Satellite Beach will receive Federal funds to make the Civic Center “green”. There will be some major renovating going on beginning November 1, so we must empty our storage cabinets and closet and meet in a different location for several months – perhaps through March 2012. We have been given space for our meetings at the David R. Schechter Center on the northeast corner of South Patrick Drive and Jackson Street. Our meetings will still start at 7 p.m., as usual, but we closely follow another group, so we must be courteous as they leave and we enter.

Ballard Park Frostbite Cruise
January 22 - 23
With January comes our annual Frost Bite cruise to Ballard Park. With good authority I have heard we will have warm weather this year. The gathering will be held under the big pavilion with music and games. Bring your own favorite main course to throw on the grill and a side dish to share. The charcoal will be provided and will be ready to start grilling about 5:30 p.m. Get there by 4 p.m. for happy hour before dinner.
For those cruising to Ballard Park, breakfast will be at 8:30 a.m. with coffee and donuts provided and any sides you wish to share.
Miami Boat Show
Our chartered bus is reserved for the Miami Boat Show on February 18th. The fee will be held at $48 and includes transportation, admission, gratuity for the bus driver, and breakfast snacks and beverages.
There will be two pickup locations, on Merritt Island and in Satellite Beach. Details will be provided in the February newsletter.
Please make checks payable to ECSA and mail to ECSA, PO Box 372054, Satellite Beach, FL 32937-0054 Attn: Bus Trip.

Holiday Boat Parade
UPDATE: Photos are available here
December 17, 2011
Holiday boat parade and pot luck will be hosted by Dave and Marci Hutson, 1700 until . . .
Come by boat: Bring your dink to our dock on the Grand Canal, directly east of the cut-through between Tortoise Island and Samsons Island.
Come by car: We are at 458 Nautilus Dr. in South Waterway at the end of the cul-de-sac. You may park on the street, in our driveway, or in Simon’s driveway (457 Nautilus Dr.)
This year’s boat parade party will be similar to last year’s but without Dave falling into the canal … we hope.
Please bring a dish to share, your favorite beverage, and something to sit on. We will provide fine plastic dinnerware, cheap paper napkins, and equally cheap plastic cups.
- Dining at 1730 on the lawn overlooking the canal.
- Boat parade after dinner.
- Holiday sing-along after the parade. Bring your instruments and your best singing voice.
