Happy Holidays Sea Hawkers!
It's been a strange year, but there seems to be a bit of light coming from the end of the tunnel. Hopefully we will be back to normal soon and can all get together again to enjoy watching and supporting our team and communities as much as we have in the past.
I am looking forward to next year and the changes we are making to be a STRONGER and more UNIFIED organization.
