Spring Boating Season is Here!

After this mild winter, daylight hours are becoming longer, tides are more favorable, and winds are becoming tolerable. We still have time to make our vessels shipshape and seaworthy. Engine tune-ups should include checking and changing propellers, fluids, belts and hoses and thru hulls as necessary. Spares could be carries if space allows. Be sure to check electrical equipment including batteries and charging systems and zincs, lighting and navigation. Safety equipment includes dock and anchor lines, life jackets, flares, foul weather clothing, water and first aid. When you leave your dock, leave a float plan. Never: leave without checking the weather, leave sight of land

with two engines or a companion boat, leave cell phone range without a marine radio (best to have both). Get yourself the gift of an ‘EPIRB’, or distress radio beacon.

As always, be safe,

Capt. Jim

Personal Training for Teens

Personal Training Program Especially for MiraBay TeensNot only does the MiraBay Club offer personal training to adults – we offer a program that educates and motivates teens between the ages of 12 and 15 who want to utilize the fitness center without a parent or guardian present. Teens can achieve their fitness goals either through personalized instruction designed to enhance results and provide improved quality of life, or they can work out on their own. Completion of the Teen Tune-Up Program and Certification Course is required before this age group can utilize the fitness center or personal training programs. The major workout components that teens learn in the introductory course include: how to set up a program (reps, sets, etc.), how to safely perform the selected exercises, and how to practice weight room safety and etiquette. Once a 12-15 year old has completed the Teen Tune-Up program and has been evaluated by a Trainer, he or she will be able to take part in personal training programs and utilize the Fitness Center. $15 per person, one-time fee
