We have a very exciting guest for our next meeting. He saw death at his

He rebuilt an old
schooner and kept it in Atlantic Highlands. He and
his daughters barely survived a barge crash while on his sailboat,
Schooner
Heron.The accident occurred
in the C&D Canal (Chesapeake &; Delaware Canal) on
May 14, 2007. You can Google the boating accident for the journalist

SEAS will welcome Sarah Waters as our
April 29, 2008 speaker at Charlie Brown's restaurant in Tinton Falls,
NJ 7:30pm.
She is well qualified to "enlighten" (pardon the solar pun) us on the
rotation of constellations that early sailors used to navigate the
uncharted seas. Currently she is the President of ASTRA, the
Astronomical Society of the Toms River Area, along with serving as
Secretary and Cofounder of the Save the Planetarium Fund for the
Novins
Planetarium at Ocean County College.
Throw your GPS away, she will also demonstrate the set up and use of a
sextant. You too can sail like your forebears if you are so inclined.
Whether you plan to sail by sextant or GPS, be sure to attend the April
SEAS meeting and enjoy Sarah's talk. |

AUGUST SPEAKER WILL BE A REAL TWEET!! BIRDING BY BOAT
When we sail the coastal waters of New Jersey, the waters, shore and sky are home to many varieties of birds.
How often do you know the names of those birds??? Puzzled if the bird is an egret or heron?? The August SEAS
meeting will have an experienced birder to teach us how to identify these shore
birds. At the end of the night there will be no confusion over a hawk, an osprey a vulture or an Eagle.
This will be a meeting to "crow" about.

Raritan
River Keeper -
Bill Schultz of Raritan Riverkeeper Bill hails from Perth Amboy and
always considered himself as a sort of
“ river rat” as a child. It seems like he was always finding excuses to
go down to the waterways, either swimming
or boating. Now retired from the fire service, retiring with the rank
of Captain and his last assignment was officer in
charge of the Marine Operations Bureau. He also has been a volunteer
with the Marine Mammal Stranding Center
in excess of 20 years. Additionally he is a volunteer Water Quality
Monitor with the NY/NJ Baykeeper when
a friend and he saw that the Baykeeper could not spend enough time in
our home waters, so we started a
“Boat Auxiliary” to the Baykeeper program. In 1999 it became obvious
that there were enough problems in the
Raritan River that it deserved a program of its own and the Raritan
Riverkeeper was started.
Bill will bring some insights on the ongoing attempts to restore our
local waters.
It should prove to be an Informative and interesting lecture. Join us.
(The
Raritan Riverkeeper's mission is to protect, preserve, and restore the
ecological integrity and productivity of the
Raritan River, its
tributaries, and watershed. As the citizen conservation advocate for
the River and its shores, the
Riverkeeper stops polluters, champions
public access, and influences land use decisions.) |

In
honor of upcoming Veterans Day. SEAS will have representatives from
the U.S.S. Ling, a 1945 submarine .
USS Ling is the
last of the fleet boats that patrolled American
shores during World War II in response to U-Boat attacks off the coast
of the United States. Ling made one Atlantic patrol before the
war
ended. Decommissioned in 1946, Ling became part of the Atlantic
Reserve Fleet until reactivation as a submarine training vessel in 1960. |
