Here's how it all went down






Harbor Captain Tony Chapman used his shoehorn to fit all of these boats into our harbor.








Port Captain Jim Dawson took care for the visiting RV crews.
They got the premium spaces right on the River.

The fun started on Thursday with a Burger & Tater Tots dinner (Bob's famous) followed by a exciting
Bingo Game. Bar Manager Bob Buckley did Yeoman's Duty for the entire event working behind the Bar!
Fortunately he had lots of help from fellow members taking their turn at bartending.



Friday was well attended with Breakfast, Lunch & many Dinners served. The evening
went on with dancing, partying, or just hanging out and enjoying the evening.



   Paul & Winky also enjoyed the evening.


 

Our newest member, Damian Jones, with his cousin who came in from Louisiana to make sure our Saturday Cajon Dinner was authentic.
 



And there is always work to do
getting ready for the next meal!
