Lake Macquarie – Float Your Boat – event 28th – 29th June 2019
Hello Intrepid Winter Whittleys,
Although not an ‘official’ club event on the Club calendar, I thought members may be interested in the following.
On the weekend of the 28th and 29th of June 2019, Lake Macquarie Council has sponsored an event where the local boaties are invited to compete for cash prizes by decorating their boats in lights and parading up and down the lake on two consecutive evenings.
I have attached a link describing the outings below.
Jan and I are going to launch our boat latish Saturday morning find a vantage point to watch the parade that night and possibly follow the parade for a while. Rather than retrieve the boat in the dark we will spend the night at anchor (possibly out front of home or where ever is sheltered,) my plan is then to retrieve the boat late morning or thereabouts.
For those who are so inclined, we can have a raft-up. For those who are not, there are ample locations to do your own thing.
If anyone is interested in joining us I can offer offstreet parking for two vehicles and trailers.
For anyone who wish to participating in displaying their boat – registration (which is free), is required. Please follow the links on the Council website.
For those wishing to be spectators only, no registration is required.
Please contact me by telephone on 0457 843 073 or email at j.whittles@bigpond.com
