Last year was our first so we had to wait to register. We did get a slip but not at the main dock. It was a short 5 minute walk away.

It is a great event for an even better cause I'd highly recommend it!

There was only 66 guaranteed docks out of a 100 registered boats, and they did a great job getting every body in the water and tied up, for those who wanted to be in the water Friday night.

The whole thing was ran professionally, from start to finish.

The smallest boat won the poker hand last year, and there are other 60mph boats.

You will be welcomed by all and truly enjoy The event!
