Maritime Squadron holds meetings in Delray Beach

The District 8 Power Squadron armada has cruised into Delray Beach's Intracoastal Waterway for a weekend of festivities at the Yacht Club at Delray Beach.
"The U.S. Sail and Power Squadrons are a part of a national organization teaching boating courses to the general public at virtually no charge. We're in Delray Beach from as far south as Key West and north to Sebastian for our commander's meetings," Ronald Friedman said while aboard Makana, a boat docked at Yacht Club at Delray Beach.

A fleet of boats, or almost an armada of 18 large yachts and sailing vessels and 85 members of the District 8 Power Squadron will be meeting at Yacht Club at Delray Beach and staying at the Colony Hotel & Cabana Club at 425 E. Atlantic Ave.

The District 8 Power Squadron sponsored a happy hour at the Yacht Club at Delray Beach.

"We have members from Coral Ridge, Sebastain, Homestead, Pompano Beach... It's really a great organization active at the local, state and national level," Delray Beach resident and squadron member Doris Shadd said.

For more information on the District 8 Power Squadron and stay in Delray Beach until July 12, call Ronald Friedman at 954-540-3780.
