The U.S. Power Squadron has a long history of being involved in boating projects, including education... almost a century in fact. The New Bern area is home to the Cape Lookout branch (link) and this is a great organization of sailors and power boaters together.
(photo at right) Two weeks ago the Cape Lookout Power & Sail Squadron held a chili cook-out, charging only 5$ for an all-you-can-eat bowl of chilli; several different people cooked up their varieties ranging from "not all that hot" to "scorch your socks." This was held at Fairfield Harbour and was considered a big success by all!
This week, the CLSPS presented a check to Cadet Chris Wheeler, commander of the New Bern NJROTC sailing squad, of the funds raised at the chili cook-out. This will be a welcome addition to the "New Sail Fund," in fact it is a bit more than a new set of sails so we can afford to travel to some events this spring!

We offer sincere thanks to everybody who made this event possible, especially those who showed up hungry!
