Archive for February, 2009

Bruce Kessler the internationally known Yachtsman and adventurer will present a seminar on FUBAR Saturday afternoon, Feb. 28, 2009.  The idea of a power boat rally down the coast from San Diego CA, to La Paz Mexico was developed by Bruce, who saw a need for this.  The parameters of FUBAR (Fleet Underway to Baja Rally), are to have an event for boaters who have had little or no experience in a cruise of this size to go as a group with escort boats which adds a large degree of safety and fun to the adventure.  Come to TrawlerFest and hear Bruce Kessler explain what  FUBAR is all about and how you might participate.
