Season 7 – 2023 Shoots Are a Wrap
America's Boating Channel's Marty and Sari Lafferty Lafferty returned to Savannah to shoot videos for 6 of Season 7's 12 videos with our club's Field Director, Charlie Saytanides (top photo), and our "Tybee Light Players" cast of 26 members, children, and friends.
​
Bookended by the April 29 pre-production meeting hosted by P/C Andy and Pam Anderson and the May 4 post-production sunset cruise and pizza party, our Season 7 experience was fantastic. We had a lot of fun and always learn things when we participate in the production of training videos that help promote safe, fun recreational boating. For example, this year there was an added plus, as we experienced drone operator, Steve Troletti, shoot scenes of the Savannah River inlet with the north and south jetties (bottom photo).
