niversal Sailing Club members held their spring kickoff meeting in March with new commodore Gary Dixon at the helm. This April, three hardy souls had a blustery passage from Baltimore to Rock Hall aboard Brian Morrison’s C&C 34. We have added several cruising rendezvous and socials in Annapolis, Baltimore, and Rock Hall, as well as Third Friday Happy Hours in Annapolis and beyond. Our largely AfricanAmerican club has members in Baltimore, the District of Columbia, Delaware, Philadelphia, New York City, and elsewhere. We especially look forward to welcoming back two members who cruised south to Jacksonville and Key West, FL (universalsailingclub.org). —by Baxter Smith
