Monday Full Moon Race and Cruise Night

Aug 19th 2024

Mary J had a brilliant idea to organize evening cruises this summer, taking advantage of the full moon nights. We specifically chose Monday nights as there is a full moon falling on August 19th. We have partnered with the race committee to participate in their beginner racing series on Monday nights. On the 19th of August, we will be heading out for a race followed by a moonlight cruise. Stay tuned for more details, as there may even be an option for an overnight cruise under the full moon. It’s going to be a magical evening on the water!
