Catching Up: Thanks to Dave Brennan for Covering Volunteer Day, 7 June,

Dave Brennan covered for three of us other volunteers, on Volunteer Day 7 June who were out supporting another Volunteer, Danny Johnson, skippering his own racer/cruiser Dehler 42 "Trinity" in the Salute to Veterans Regatta.  Bryan Oliver, Mark Held, and Dallas Spencer showed the flags of the Army, and Navy, along with four other veterans. We started two races, and finished in the middle of the pack, a respectable showing more credited to the boat, and friend, pilot, Charlie, at the helm than the pick-up crew, mostly never-evers.

Meanwhile, Dave Brennan, back on Spirit of South Carolina took Volunteers, Dave Lazar, Nick Swarts, and a couple of others thru some deckhand skills practicums in prep for their anticipated participation in upcoming harbor cruises.
