Our February cruise will take us to Beer Can Island!


The Skipper's Meeting will be held on Saturday morning at 9:00 am.


Anyone who is planning on going on a cruise should attend the Skipper's Meeting because this is where decisions are made: 

  • routes are selected,
  • timing is calculated,
  • weather is discussed,
  • things to know are shared,
  • things to look out for are pointed out,
  • stowaways find space, and sometimes....
  • ... the destination changes!

This is one of our favorite anchorages! Get your dinghys ready to go ashore. If you do not have a dinghy, we will make sure you get to shore. If you have not been to Beer Can in a while, much has changed. The new owners have cleaned up the island and brought in a tiki bar barge, volley ball, picnic tables, port-a johns, and lots of fun!

 

Be sure to bring firewood, chairs, guitars or any musical instruments and, as always, your drink of choice and a snack to share. It will get cool at night, so layer up.

 

To keep Beer Can legal, please go to beercanisland.com and purchase your membership cards (good for a year) for only $10 per person. They cannot sell alcohol or food to the public. This also allows you to use the port-a-johns. They are doing a lot of great things on the island and this also help to offset some of their expenses….like hauling boat loads of trash, getting port-a johns emptied, etc.

 

Please let me know when you purchase them and I will contact them and make sure your membership cards will be at the tiki bar on arrival.
