Rendezvous Update:
I have submitted our list of boats to the Marina with proposed slip assignments. I will send that info out as soon as the Marina confirms the slips. We are in a line side by side on C dock.
I have also forwarded requests to Marina for the same slip, for those that asked for extra days before or after.
For those who requested extra days, if you haven’t already,
you need to contact Marina directly. They will need credit card to confirm reservation for the extra days.
I am working on a schedule of activities. Looking for comments, additional input, and volunteers. My first swing, draft schedule for the Rendezvous is as follows:
