The Junior Fleet hosts this month's General Meeting. Our speaker will be coastal engineer Russ Boudreau who will present his program "TSUNAMIS! Everything you wanted to know, and maybe didnt want to know about Tsunamis." As a practicing coastal engineer, he will tell us about what causes tsunamis, and share dramatic realities of recent tsunamis in Japan, Chile and Indonesia. Are we at risk here at ABYC? What are the chances? He will also give some background of the sleeping giant known as the Cascadia Fault, and what that may mean to anyone living in near the coast the Pacific Northwest.
The Juniors will hold a 50/50 raffle to benefit the Junior Fund and will also be selling their Sea Bag totes made from recycled sails by Sea Bags, Inc. of Maine. We hope to see you there!
