The following scheduled rendezvous are always a good time! As many cruisers also race I have done my best to avoid most of the races so all can participate in the rendezvous. However, because of weather and other factors they don’t always happen. It has also been my experience that some of the impromptu rendezvous have been the best. Mostly due to ideal weather conditions, everyone’s out for the weekend. So, I will post a destination on the board at the club when I know we have two or three boats headed to the same anchorage. Please join us!

As always I will be monitoring channel 9.

All Summer - Impromptu rendezvous

6/21/2008 - Valcour Wildflower Cruise
Joint Rendezvous with MBBC
We will attempt again to line up with MBBC who have invited us to join them for the 1st Rendezvous of the season. We will join Richard Villamil and others from MBBC as they investigate the natural history of Valcour Island including investigation of the glacier's legacy in the Champlain Valley and the spring wildflowers. Richard has a wealth of knowledge and once you tour the island with him, you’ll walk the paths at Valcour with a new perspective. I will be monitoring channel nine. Hike to start at 2PM and cocktail/hors d’oeuvres at 5:00PM. Bring your dinghy, field guides to the stars, wildflowers and mushrooms, insect repellent, walking shoes, cameras, and binoculars and a snack to share at our social hour/party after the Saturday walk. See you there!

POT LUCK dinner at the club and then a cruise to the breakwater for an LCYC raft-up to enjoy the fireworks! We plan to anchor outside the breakwater (weather permitting)

7/12/2008 - Champagne Race to Willsboro Bay
Catered dinner on shore Provided by BayView Inn
We will again have the Champagne Race to Willsboro Bay where the winner will receive Champagne. Other prizes will also be awarded. We will have an award ceremony on shore. This year the on shore festivities will be followed by a catered dinner which will be held on the lawn just off the Bayview docks. They have a great set of dinghy docks to tie up too. We will not have launch service after the race so bring your dinghy. Sign up for the dinner reservations by July 5th. We could not replace Dave Kelton, so we hired Bayview! See you there!

The full moon for July is Friday the 18th . So we will do Moonlight Cruise to Converse Bay. Rendezvous/dinner at the club, then an evening departure.

Bring your favorite appetizer for Saturday evening.

8/09/2008 - Kingsland Bay Rendezvous
Kingsland Bay a great spot (as long as the wind is not from the northwest). We have one club mooring located there and we hope to add an additional one this year. The Kingsland Bay State Park is a great place to go ashore and walk around. We will plan cocktail/hors d’oeuvres at on shore at 5:00PM. If you don’t want to bring your boat you could drive down to the park.

8/23/2008 - Converse Bay Rendezvous
Last year we took advantage of our new LCYC moorings in Converse and had a great time! This is a popular spot with plenty of protection from both the north and south wind. We will again be anchoring on the south side and see how many boats we can raft on our club moorings. Cocktail’s and hors d'oeuvres are at 5pm. We have two moorings at converse. Do to the popularity of this location we plan to add two additional moorings this season.
