  • Cabin Boat First Sail and Happy Hour

    • Sat, May 11, 2024
    • 1:00 PM - 5:00 PM
    • CLSA

    What could be better than an afternoon of sailing followed by a gathering of sailors under the pavilion with a cold one and hors d’oeuvres?

    Let’s try it at the Cabin Boater’s First Sail & Happy Hour!

    This will be happening on Saturday, May 11. We’ll hit the water around lunch time and spend the afternoon crossing each other’s wakes.

    Starting at 5:00 snacks and beer will be provided under the pavilion to prime the pump. Please bring anything else you’d like to share to eat or drink. I’m betting there will be a lot of stories to tell. I will also be looking for feedback and suggestions on our plans for this year’s sailing season.

    My favorite experience in a cabin boat is sleeping overnight at anchor. Wake up to bird calls and the mist on the water, fish jumping and morning quiet. Add some hot coffee in the cockpit and that just doesn’t get old.

    We will begin the day with free sailing on the lake. At 6:00 we will rally at a designated anchoring spot and drop anchor.

    Before sunset a dinghy will ferry sailors to shore where we can enjoy a beach campfire and camaraderie. You may eat dinner on your own boat, or bring it ashore.

    Then back to the boats for the night.

    Where we anchor depends on the wind direction. I have several spots in mind and will communicate which one the night before, based on the forecast.

    If you have any doubts or questions about your anchor, please send me an Email. I will work with you so you can be sure you’re prepared.

    Let’s trailer our boats to another body of water and sail together.
    Join Sail Safari -

    Using your boat to actually go somewhere is very different than sailing in circles. Staying at a different anchor every night, seeing the shoreline reveal and pass, being on the same tack for hours and actually navigating, is a profoundly better experience.

    Last year we went to Green Bay Wisconsin. This year's destination will be in response to member feedback.
