The slips will be closing for the season on Saturday, October 29th. We will need lots of volunteers for all the closing tasks so please come out and lend a hand. The work party starts at 9:00 AM on the 29th. Dress for the weather and in comfortable clothes that are appropriate for doing work. Life jackets are strongly recommended while working on the docks.
Of course none of this can happen without your help. This is a great opportunity for new members to complete a few hours toward their service requirements. Chef Mark will be providing lunch for all who participate.

Sailing and Racing
If you are interested in sailing, and more specifically racing, there are ample opportunities to join one of our racing fleets, or to crew on one of the boats in those fleets. The women's fleet races on Mondays, small boats race on Tuesdays. Big boats race on Wednesdays and Saturdays. And the double handed fleet races on Fridays.
You can learn more about the various racing fleets by clicking here. And the racing schedule (for all fleets) is available here.
Powerboating
Our power boaters are active fishermen. An annual fishing contest is held in July.
In addition, our power boaters host a number of events, usually on Thursdays as well as many weekends.
