Cruisers begin arriving on July 2nd and occupying available space on the large floating dock in Reid Harbor. Rafting to others on the dock is permitted and encouraged, subject to permission of the vessel tied to the dock. Alternative mooring possibilities include using the adjacent smaller floating dock, the shoreside State Park dock or one of the 13 State Park mooring balls. There is also lots of space for anchoring too.

On July 2nd, our cruisers will enjoy a heavy appetizer dinner on the dock and the Williams will treat everyone to refreshing mojitos!  July 3rd will be a free day for hiking to Turn Point Lighthouse and the old school house, kayaking, relaxing, visiting, reading, or napping!  Meals on your own, no schedules, and games will be available on the dock tables.

July 4th will begin with a "Carl Sidle" pancake breakfast. After breakfast, let the decorating begin! The decorated dinghy parade will begin around 1:00.  Prizes will be awarded for the 3 most patriotic decorated dinghies,1 for the best costumed dinghy occupant, and 1 for the best overall crowd pleaser. After the parade, the Club will host a burger and hot dog BBQ with all the fixings.  Cruisers will provide sides or desserts for the celebration. Cruise Co-Captains would be appreciated for this cruise to help organize the dinghy parade and 4th July meal.  Reservations are highly recommended by June 28th so that sufficient food can be purchased for the BBQ.
