A Message from our
General Manager
Hello club members!
We are coming into what is
traditionally our slowest month
business-wise of the year. So far,
this August is holding true to form.
I have no private parties scheduled
this month as of yet, but am hoping
to get some interest. School starts
back up towards the middle of this
month, so remember to be aware of the school zones
that will be back in effect.
One thing scheduled this month is the Paddle for the
Promise event. This was a good event last year and
benefits a good cause. If you are a paddle boarder,
come on out and get involved and have a good time
doing it, and if you are not a paddle boarder, just come
out and enjoy the day.
ECSA finished up our summer lessons the
middle of July with a total enrolment this summer of
144 students, including 9 adults. Thor (god of thunder,
lightening, and storms) gave us a little trouble the last
week, but overall we had a very good summer. We
received a number of inquiries about both Junior and
Adult Memberships in the Club. My instructor team
were all home grown Junior members including:
Mathew Anders, Colleen Parsons, Kelly Stukbauer,
David Beaudry, and David Reiter. Linda Wright
taught the adult class. Our Junior volunteers included
George Hambleton, Jonathan Balent, Ian Hunter,
Parker Dewrell, and Chase Hicks.
I would like to add a big THANK YOU to the Fort
Walton Yacht Club for hosting the summer lessons and
to the FWYC membership for putting up with the
inconveniences of the “swarm” for 4 weeks.

Don’t forget to make your reservations for Friday night
dinners. This helps with the planning and staffing for
this day.
I look forward to seeing you all at the club, and of
course if there is anything I can do for you, feel free to
email me or call.
