Hello to all you NSA Cruisers!
Jason and I are looking forward to seeing you all out on the water for our first cruise of the season. So exciting!
In light of the significant rate increases in Beaufort, we have decided to head to Southwest Creek inside South River for the Spring Cruise April 25-26. If you haven’t made this trip before, please try to fit it into your schedule. It is Oriental’s best kept secret, a true gem of a spot only a few hours’ cruise from town. Perfect for a Spring shakedown!
Some are going Friday and some are going Saturday. The social is 4pm on Saturday at the beach. Please bring a dish to share and whatever beverages you prefer. Keeping with the new policy for this year, alcoholic beverages will not be provided by the club.
Let’s use VHF 68 to get in touch. I know the cell service can be spotty out there and I don’t want to rely on Facebook or texting/Whatsapp to relay messages once we are on route.
We typically have a bonfire on the beach Saturday night BUT… I believe we are still under a burn ban and we don’t want to set anything on fire so we will have to modify this just a little. Instead of bringing firewood or something to cook over the fire, lets make sure we bring enough to share to make dinner out of the social. If anyone has a folding table, tiki torch or extra light to illuminate the area at night, please bring it. Don’t forget your bug spray too.
