THE FLYING DUTCHMAN
For those who can’t take the day off on a Wednesday but would still like to feel an integral part of Chamber Day, we have the perfect solution - sign up to dive “The Flying Dutchman.”
As you may know from nautical lore, the “Flying Dutchman” was the name of a mythical ship doomed to sail the seas forever and never reach port. In our case, the “Dutchman” is not quite so dire.
For Chamber Day, the “Flying Dutchman” is a mythical boat and our answer for those who want to say they “dove” the event. You won’t really be going anywhere, but you’ll get all the other benefits of Chamber Day participation. There will be an on-board raffle conducted just like on all the other boats and you’ll get a Chamber Day t-shirt. However, those who dive the Dutchman get a special limited-edition “Flying Dutchman” Chamber Day shirt that’s available only to those who dive the “Dutchman.” (We literately shred any leftovers after the event.)
Cost for the “Dutchman,” like all the other boats, is $75 which includes your t-shirt, on-board raffle ticket, and five Chamber Day raffle tickets. And it’s a great way to feel intimately involved with the event if you can’t get away for the day.
To sign up for the Dutchman, either go on-line to “www.chamberday.org” or call Reef Seekers Dive Co. (the co-ordinating store) at 310/652-4990.
