Subject: [C320-list] Your new Commodore David Allred

As the new Commodore of our C320 International Association, please let me introduce myself.  I began sailing on a friend's Catalina 22 in 1979 on a lake in Alabama.  Shortly thereafter, I bought a Compac 16 which served well for years.  In 1999, at the Annapolis Boat Show, my wife, Mary Lou Fultz, and I bought our 2000 Catalina 320, Romance, which we keep at Herrington Harbour South on Herring Bay about 20 miles south of Annapolis.  We are retired and live in Edgewater, Maryland.

I am honored to serve as your Commodore, and I am interested in hearing any suggestions, ideas, and comments that you believe would make our association better.  I confess that I have limited technical knowledge (or skill) regarding our boat's systems.  And, I have vastly less knowledge of the critical workings of the heart of our association, the website (indeed, if you get this message I will consider that a notable accomplishment). However, I am willing to do whatever I can to make our association work well for its members.  In that regard, I have two observations that I will soon share with you in another message.  This email is already too long.

David Allred
Commodore
