Mounts Bay Reac. Center
Commodore Chris Munson will commemorate Veterans Day, November 11, 2024 with a presentation at Mts. Bay Recreation Center, beginning at 6 pm. Veterans Day is a national day to honor America’s veterans for their patriotism, love of country, and willingness to serve and sacrifice for the common good.
Chris will relate the story of WWII submarine commander, Capt. H.G. Munson, USN, via a slide presentation that discusses the new breed of submarine commanders that made victory at sea possible. The talk’s title, The Ninth Patrol, relates to Capt. Munson’s Ninth WWII combat patrol as Commander of a submarine. But its far more; stories of the families and crews that supported these gallant actions are brought in from personal recollections and meetings with many of his officers and crew. It illustrates the technical and human development of undersea warfare from 1915 thru advanced nuclear boats of the 1960s.
This presentation will be at Mounts Bay Recreation Center, Monday, November 11, 2024, 6:00 pm. A light meal and refreshments will be served. Time for questions and discussion will be provided. This is a commemorative event in honor of our Veterans. Time for questions and discussion will be provided.

"The Kingsmill Yacht Club" Facebook Group
Monitored by: Chris Munson and Duncan Ritchie
The Kingsmill Yacht Club is open to all "Kingsmill residents". Founded in 1976, the Kingsmill Yacht Club provides an enthusiastic group of members with a variety of opportunities for boating and socializing activities. The core element of membership is a love of waterborne sports whether enjoyed through boat ownership in the present or buoyed by memories of previous times afloat. In addition to various boating events in home or foreign waters, we organize a winter series of lectures on topics of marine interest and also summer trips on aquatic themes. Our Commodore’s Ball is a traditional feature of the Kingsmill year.
