Rendezvous Update – What We Have Planned So Far

Hello and happy Saturday. Rusty here again with the latest Rendezvous update. We’ve had a chance to sort out most of the schedule and want to bring everyone up to  speed. Don’t forget … early bird registration ends April 15th. Registration closes April 29th.

We have a number of first time attendees joining us this year. Welcome! We are looking forward to meeting all of you.

Our “Women on the Water” boat handling sessions are filling up fast. In fact, we’ve added additional trainings on Saturday to accommodate demand. We donate the $20 fee to the San Juan Island Preservation Trust.

We have some great events and seminars planned this year. While we are busy finalizing the schedule, here are a few of the highlights so far. All are included with your registration.

  • Three days of seminars conducted by our sponsors on subjects ranging from boat handling, boat care, cruising, electronics, marine sanitation, dinghies and davits, and others. Dr. Robertson, a marine biologist from San Juan County, will be there Friday morning to talk about marine mammals in the area, whales, and the new regulations. Mark Bunzell from the Waggoner Guide will update us on cruising in the area and this year’s changes at our favorite destinations. Folks from Grand Banks are coming all the way from Florida to visit with us.
  • Thursday night is our big dinner catered by Roche Harbor in their event center.
  • Saturday’s bus adventure this year is to American Camp. Most of us have been to Garrison Bay, but few have visited American Camp. An interpretive guide will give us a talk on the history of American Camp and Garrison Bay.
  • Roche Harbor doughnuts each morning. 😀
  • The association is hosting a burger/brat lunch on Friday. We’ve got all the fixings too.
  • Our popular beer and cider tasting is back on Friday.
  • Thursday’s “owner’s forum” where we get to talk about anything related to our old boats with folks that have owned GBs for years. 
  • Swag. We’ve got some good gifts lined up for attendees.
  • A potluck dinner on Saturday night. We bring the ham. You bring your favorite sides to share.
  • Movie night Friday evening. We will provide the popcorn!
  • And whatever else we can come up with between now and May 7th. 😉

Attendees can expect more details as we get closer to the Rendezvous.
