JANUARY 2013
On 1 December in the Annual

forty other boats, 125 of our
squadron members, families
and friends helped kicked off
the celebration for the USPS
100th Year Anniversary with
the anniversary banner and
our squadron burgee flying high on the Majestic Princess
yacht as we participated in the parade for:“Toys for Tots”.

public through the efforts of our excellent certified instructors. Our volunteers continue our civic duties: free
vessel safety checks and Cooperative Charting to check
marinas, investigate navigational aids on the Intracoastal
and submit our findings to NOAA to update nautical
charts. One of our many civic duties this year was to man
a squadron booth at Kids Fest, with over 200 children
learning the importance of wearing a life jacket and how
to put it on.
We are committed to boating safety and education
throughout our community and to take advantage of all
outreach benefits possible. We want everyone to know

safety on the water, are saying: “Boating is fun …We’ll

We are continuing to offer interesting courses and seminars.
Advanced Piloting with instructor Scott Clinton, SN, has ended

the exam. Seamanship, taught
by John Luciano, AP, is winding
up and exams will be given on

We have changed the starting date for Junior Navigation

program and teach the art of seamanship and safe boating

This season we are offering a number of seminars and encourage everyone to take advantage of these great informative
courses. (See schedule on page 5.)
We offered a seminar on Paddle Smart 17 November at
Jonathan Dickinson State Park that included kayaking as a
primary focus. We were honored to have Kristie and Spencer
Anderson from Sebastian Inlet Squadron as our instructors.
Their vast knowledge of boating and related equipment impressed the participants and presented important information.
Following the class we had a wonderful BBQ cooked by Bryan
Moskowitz and then, under the guidance of Art & Mary Dodd,
we practiced the skills learned and had a great day kayaking.
Thanks to the Andersons and the Dodds for a great day!!
We are redesigning “Partners in Command” program – for
women – with an On Water Training component. All boating
“partners” are encouraged to take this important and informative class. That date will be Saturday, 26 January. Please contact me at 561 304-1689 or e-mail [email protected]

The 2012 Squadron Cruise
Raised $1170
The ship has docked, the cruisers are safely home. The recent
squadron cruise generated $1170 for our treasury. The 14 night
cruise aboard Celebrity’s “Eclipse” was highlighted by two fun
events sponsored by our cruise specialist, Cathy Innes. First was
the champagne party, hosted on the balconies of the
McWhorter’s and Worssam’s. The second, a marvelous, fun-filled
martini tasting cocktail hour at the famed martini bar. A great
time was had by all. Thanks, Cathy.
Visiting the eastern and southern Caribbean, the cruise not
only included a number of ports along the way, but five sea-days
as well. There was plenty of time for socializing and a few stops
in the casino (the Bilge Mouse came home a winner!).
Another highlight was a visit to the “Sweetfield Manor” in
Barbados, a ‘Bed & Breakfast” owned and operated by former
Hobe Sound residents, George and Ann Clark. Les & Donna are

next time—don’t MISS the BOAT!

Have you browsed through the wide range of book topics available from the
Squadron’s library? There is a wide range and a quantity of classics that few if any
of us could have on our own. Thanks to P/R/C Eldridge, SN, the bookshelves installation has been greatly strengthened (to hold all the weight) and many new donations have been cataloged, labeled, and shelved (photo above).
How do I find a book?
The classic way to find a book continues to be to stop by the library rack at the headquarters building; look through the library catalog notebook (our equivalent of the
card catalog at your typical library) to browse by subject, title, or author for something of interest; select the desired book from the library shelves (organized in order
of increasing Dewey decimal system numbers); and then sign out the book (in your
name) on sign-out clipboard located on one of the library’s shelves. Upon returning
the book to the library, the sign-out clipboard is updated with the date you returned
the book.
A new alternate way to located the books that might be of interest to you, created for
the new electronic age, is to first click on the Subject list link below (that will bring up
a printable Acrobat (.PDF) file on your computer screen) and determine what Dewey
decimal numbers correspond to the subjects that might interest you. The second
step, based on the Dewey decimal number that was found to be of interest in the first
step, would be to click on the Index list link below and browse through to find what
book we might have that have the subject related Dewey decimal number corresponding to the subject of interest (found in the first step above). The printable Index list includes a “wish list” column so that you can put a check mark in that column
(on a printed copy) so that you will have it for future reference (at the library and/or
for a reminder of what to ask for in an email request to the librarian).
Alternately, you could look through the Title of Author (wish list augmented) lists if
you are looking to see if we have a specific book that you are looking to see if we
have.
In summary, the electronically available catalof lists that are available for the PBSPS
library include the following: a) Subject cross reference list link = Subject list ; b) Index lookup wish list link = Index list ; c) Title lookup wish list link = Title list ; and d)
Author lookup wish list link = Author list
How do I get a book?
a) During your next visit to headquarters (class, meeting, or arrangement to meet
someone with a key at the front door), bring your wish list, find the book on the
shelves via the Dewey decimal number on the book spine, and sign it out on the clipboard located on one of the library’s shelves.
b) Send an email request note to the squadron Librarian. Please include the details of the book you are requesting and your candidate (alternate) pickup arrangement possibilities.
Captions (clockwise from the top): (1) Photo of library alcove (folding doors open,
not to scale) (2) Sheet music of “Hats Off to the USPS” (3) “The Worlds Best Sailboats” (4) “Diesel fundamentals, service, & repair” (5) one of a set of “Hornblower”
paperbacks (6) “Americas Cup Book” (to 1983) (7) The master index for a set of

WHAT
IS A
MERIT MARK?
A Merit Mark (MM) is awarded by
the chief commander to a member
who has contributed substantial
effort in furthering the objectives
of USPS, its districts and squadrons within a calendar year. It is a
coveted award; it is by and large the
only official recognition members
receive for their efforts. Only one
merit mark may be awarded in a
year to a member, no matter how
extensive the contribution. A certificate is issued and a special insigne
may be worn on USPS uniforms for
each merit earned by the member.

REELS
The squadron merit mark chairman
solicits information about squadron
member contributions from the
bridge officers and committee chairpersons for inclusion in a Merit Mark
Report. Each year the squadron commander submits recommendations
for merit marks to the national chief
commander through an area monitor.
After earning five merit marks a
member becomes known as a Senior
Member, and, upon earning 25 merit
marks, the member is designated a
“Life Member” and becomes exempt
from paying any further dues.
