Slip Share Calendar

Searching for a slip? Want to share your slip? Slip Share is a voluntary program for PaNNTOA members. As we all start cruising this year many of us will leave our slips empty for months at a time. Slip Share will allow members to share their vacant slips with other Members. Please check with your Marina to ensure you are allowed to share your slip while you are away. Most Marinas will allow for 30 days of sharing without doing sublet contracts.

Once you have decided to participate click here to provide us with information about your available slip. Once you send in your slip information it will be posted on the Slip Share calendar. Please give us some time to update the calendar.

Oh La La … Volunteer Opportunity (averages less than 1 hour/month)

Our all-volunteer organization (except the wizard behind the website) is looking for a new Membership Director. Mark Malnes, after serving for several years, is ready to transition the role to a shiny, new director.

This is a role easily performed by anyone with access to the website. Our staff wizard has created several automated tools and processes to make the job straightforward.

The membership director provides information to the PaNNTOA board related to membership statistics, reaches out to potential members referred by other members, sends membership lists to sponsors that offer discounts (sponsors must pinky swear they will not send spam based on our supplied list) quarterly, and, if so inclined, thinks about ways to increase membership.

The membership director also works with the Communications director to reconcile bounced emails (did the member forget to renew? Sell their boat? Find a cooler group to hang out with? (Can’t be that!))

If interested (even in the mildest manner), please email the Commodore. Thanks!

Waggoners Webinar Redux

For those who missed it, and for those who attended and thought, “Hey, knowing which marinas in Canadian waters have closed or changed hands, is a helpful bit of knowledge,” our eminently useful Vice-Commodore Jeff Redmond, recorded Mark Bunzel’s recent PaNNTOA Webinar. It is available for your viewing pleasure HERE

Our thanks again to Mark, from the Waggoner Cruising Guide, for his presentation. Mark reminds us that the Waggoner Guide contains a link for updates made after the 2023 Guide went to press. Just saying…nobody wants to show up at a marina and find a one-eyed cutlass-wielding seagull and no moorage.
