Batten down the Hatches!

All aboard with Bill Norrie, on his amazing, solo, around the world voyage with Pixie. No doubt a tight ship, but what do you do when your keel points to the stars? Ever considered waking up with a sodden bunk, fire on board, no electronics and a great view where the dodger once stood? Well wonder no more. A special bonus for all on deck as Bill shares his secret recipe for cooking Ichiban in 30 foot seas and novel applications of Duct tape. Tonight we learn the ropes from a veteran of the Southern Oceans.

The Calgary Chapter looks forward to welcoming all members to this BCA-wide February Club Night!
