Picture perfect weather and perfect teamwork characterized Boats In day, 2015. Congratulations all around!

     

Boats go in this Saturday! The festivities start at 6:00am with a hot breakfast in the clubhouse. Lunch will also be served later in the day. There is a small chance that a few boats could be lifted in late Friday afternoon, depending on the arrival time of the crane. If you are one of the first in line, contact Craig for an update.

Stay safe! Fingers crossed for good weather and healthy batteries. Plugs in!
