2011 was a great year for the Geechee Sailing Club, and 2012 is certain to be another great year as well. Our new board is coming up with some fresh ideas to compliment our traditional events, and with your participation, 2012 will be another winner for the books.

What's a new year without resolutions? If you haven't made yours yet, perhaps you may want to consider some that involve the club and its goals: Here are a few to consider:

- Learn to sail (in my case) or become a better sailor by taking lessons or sailing with someone with more experience.
- Introduce someone to the Geechee Sailing Club.
- Try to attend more cruises and cruise to new destinations.
- Get involved in racing either as a participant or volunteer helping out at the St. Patrick's Regatta
- Take a boating safety class.
- Check safety equipment inventory and ensure it is in good condition.
- And last but not least, get on the Geechee Diet!

I look forward to seeing everyone next Monday at our first meeting of 2012!
