The first Keelhaul of the autumn was held on 2 September at Gotanda Devilcraft with 14 people attending. A survey revealed that 11 were TSPS members, two “not yet” and one “retired.” We were clearly a highly qualified and experienced bunch of people with 11 of us holding a JMRA First Class license, 2 with Second Class licenses, and one planning to get a license. The majority of attendees said they were mostly interested in sailing, two were into powerboats, and some interested in both.

Plenty of lively talk about summer sailing adventures and plans for the autumn, with three delicious pizzas generously paid for by the TSPS. Commodore Remi reminded everyone that the TSPS 70th Anniversary BBQ will be held at Yumenoshima on 3 October and encouraged everyone to sign up soon https://tspsjapan.org/yumenoshima-bbq-nov-8-2025-sign-up-now/
