Circumnavigators in Florida
Our fellow members weathered a tough hurricane last week. Hurricane Ian took its toll on the usually sunshine state where more than 200 Circumnavigators call home. Especially hard hit was the Naples area, home to our largest Chapter. At this time, we have not heard of any serious problems for Circumnavigators.
Rolling Out the LOG
The new issue of our venerable publication, The LOG, is being printed. Members should receive their copy in October with many great stories, including treks to Croatia and Algeria and the adventure story of Norm & Susan Dailey’s Amazing Race. We think you will love the cover from Croatia. It is not the cover shown here – that is the runner up..
Keep on sharing
Please let us know if you have a feature story to discuss for the next issue of The LOG. We do not take finished stories, so you need to contact us to develop the story. Also, photos and trip items are encouraged for All Over the Map, used in both The LOG and Circumbits.
