SSCA hosts are an important part of the SSCA programs, doing whatever is needed to help cruisers out.
The SSCA CSH program goal for these webinars is to help inform cruisers of what is happening in various areas such as the Caribbean, Atlantic, Pacific –any place cruisers visit.
The first presenter with be the very well known, Jesse James, Trindad and Tobabo Cruising Host, who will provide information on what the marine industry, the communities and visiting boaters are currently doing in T&T, what boaters should be aware of, and what has changed due to COVID.
This is a chance to have an in-person look at T&T, with chat and, for an opportunity for Q&A directly with Jesse during the live session.
The first webinar will be on August 27th at 18:00 EDT and new ones will follow on every month.
