The Midsummer Raft-Up
Sail, Sun, and Lots of Fun!!
Saturday, July 26 at 11:00 am
Join us for the BS&BC Midsummer Raft-Up! All club members are welcome bring your sailboat, dinghy, motorboat, paddleboard, or even a floating flamingo. There's room for everyone!
Location: Just past the lift bridge, north of the canal along the Burlington Beach Strip. Look for Underway.
Time: Well aim to catch the 11:00 am bridge opening.
Note: The bridge opens only on the hour, so if you miss 11:00 am, the next chance is 12:00 pm. It takes 20-30 minutes to get there. If you plan to sail, please do so before or after the raft-up at 11:15.
Raft-Up Instructions: Once Underway drops anchor, approach one at a time to raft up. If more boats join, we may need a few extra anchors please let us know if you can help!
First Time Rafting? No problem we've got you! Just put fenders out on both sides, have your mooring lines ready, and approach slowly. Well help you secure your boat safely.
What to Bring: Appetizers to share, plenty of water, and a swimsuit if you're up for a dip. (Mine's already packed!)
Weather Watch: If we get strong east winds, waves could make the raft-up tricky. In that case, we'll meet at Carrols Point on the bay instead. Look out for an update from Underway by 10:00 am.
Please book a ticket if you plan on attending, as a host or as a guest on someone else's boat. We will do our best to match everyone up.
