Coon Island - East Dock

It’s “Love Me, Tender Time”

Turns out the King didn’t just rock the stage—he also rocked the boat… mostly because he forgot to check the wind and kept yelling, “It’s now or never!” while drifting in circles.

But forget Elvis, because our cruise in May is all about dinghies and tenders. Tune up your tender and bring it with you to Coon Island. There will be a safety check, dinghy tips, and a regatta circumnavigating the island.

Friday Evening at 5pm; It’s happy hour and appetizers.

Saturday; The soon to be infamous tender dingy dash around the island shall start when the our hosts tell us “it’s now or never”.
Plan on a potluck dinner at 6pm.

Sunday Morning: As always, it’s the CRSA breakfast potluck at 930.
