Boats that pass inspection will be given a Vessel Safety Check sticker that tells authorities you recently complied with all regulations.
Sign up at the table in the main parking area on Saturday morning.
Every year, this is one of our most popular events. Breakfast with all the fixin’s on the deck overlooking the harbor. A perfect morning!
The Club will take care of the coffee, scrambled eggs and bacon. It would be great if you’d bring a breakfast dish to share. Any questions, just ask Ellen Sullivan.
See you there!
