List of Safety Minutes
The Wealth of the Waterline Archive

December 2022
by Harmon Everett

I was recently reviewing all the Safety Minutes that have been published in The Waterline, and once again was bowled over by the wealth of information and history that the archive of The Waterline contains. Seriously. From the records of all the trips, historical events, Club history, and Safety Minutes, you should go back into the Newsletter archive and just surf around.

 

For now, though, here is a list of all the Safety Minutes that have been published in The Waterline, since 2014. The list starts with a link to one I found particularly pertinent: Drowning doesn’t look like Drowning.  I hope this helps!
