About this event
Day 1 - Arrive on Tuesday 5/13 after 2 PM check-in
There is a minus 1.2 tide at noon which should not affect any of our vessels after 2:00 PM (Last year we had a much greater minus tide and we were fine!)
5:00 PM we will gather at the covered pavilion for shared heavy appetizers and BYOB beverages. Electricity is available to plug in small appliances if needed. Bring warm clothes as it can be a cool breeze off the water! If not raining, we may enjoy a big bonfire and roast marshmallows for s'mores to cap off the evening.
Day 2 - Get ready to rumble!
10 AM Shotgun start for our "1-Club Scramble" golf tournament. $30 PP fees for the golf course (& driver tip) will be collected prior to play. If you were there in 2024, you know the drill. We will have several contests while on the course and prizes at the evening "Awards Ceremony"! Directions for play will be provided prior to getting on the bus to the golf course. After golf, we will arrive back to the marina and lunch is on your own (no cafes or restaurants so plan accordingly).
2 PM Bocci Ball tournament, a new addition to the festivities and the Mallett's will be running this tournament. No pre-registration required. Rules will be provided upon arrival.
5 PM Awards Ceremony for both tournaments followed by dinner. The Club will provide the entree and cruisers will bring a side dish or dessert to share. Hopefully the weather will allow for another bonfire and grand storytelling!
Day 3 - Departure to Langley
Check-in time at Langley is 2:00 PM. We have docks D & E reserved for our group. You will call for your slip assignment on VHF channel 66A prior to entering the harbor. Payment is made on arrival (If after 4 PM, call the office at 360-221-1120)
Our plans for Langley are not structured as there is shopping and restaurants to explore. Only one restaurant in town accepts group reservations at Prima Bistro with a rooftop deck. We will make a group reservation dependent on whether you wish to join this no-host dining activity. Otherwise, please make your own plans for dinner.
Cruise Captains will be departing on Friday by 11 AM. Cruisers may elect to stay an extra night to more fully enjoy the town.
