SUMMARY:Apostle Islands Cruise - 22 Catalina 22s
DESCRIPTION:An adventure like no other! Often referred to as the “Caribbean of the North” this lake is unsalted and shark free! Launch from Bayfield\, Wisconsin for a week-long adventure filled with lighthouses\, amazing sunsets\, and pristine beaches. catalina22.org/ \nJoin us this year for the Apostle Islands Cruise August 12 to 17\, 2024. It will be an adventure like no other. Often referred to as the “Caribbean of the North” this lake is unsalted and shark free! Well\, that is if you don’t include my boat “Lake Shark”. We will launch from Bayfield\, Wisconsin for a weeklong adventure filled with lighthouses\, amazing sunsets\, and pristine beaches. \nSo\, make plans now to register for what was a favorite cruise in 2022 and now back for a new adventure in 2024. With 22 islands to explore\, there’s never enough time to see them all. Still\, we will have a great mix of anchoring out and marina stops. Of course\, there is still the option to join us for a shorter cruise if a week is just more fun than you are quite ready for. \nThis year\, please note that securing a marina slip is on your own and must be booked in advance. We plan to stay in a slip Monday August 12 and Thursday August 15. Slips on Madeline Island this year are running just over $70 for the night\, and I would expect the same in Bayfield\, but I am still working with the city to see if we can work out a deal. Full details on the cruise and plans can be found at: \nLink to PLANS \nSo\, stop dreaming and start living. That project boat has spent enough time in the driveway so let’s get it out there on the water. Afterall “if anything is gonna happen its gonna happen out there”- Capt. Ron. So\, sign up today for the adventure of a lifetime and make some memories that you’ll share for generations. Registrations are available at: \nLink to REGISTRATION

SUMMARY:Barefoot Raid BC
DESCRIPTION:The raid will feature:\n\n7 days of racing\n15 legs\n100 nautical mile course\nA mothership providing 3 meals a day and other support\nSponsors supplying some great prizes for the racers!\n\n \nEligibility requires:\n\nA boat no smaller than 12 feet and no larger than what can legally be transported on a highway.\nComplete application with deposit (1/2 total entry fee) must be received no later than April 30\, with full amount due by May 20th.\nBeing a member of the TSCA (there’s a B.C. Chapter!) — https://tsca.net/join/\nIf under 18\, signed permission from your parents.\nCarrying the safety gear required under Canadian maritime law.\n\nCourses and classes:\nAs the whole fleet can only move as fast as the slowest boats\, an effort has been made to keep course lengths to that which can be done by the slowest of our group. While many small boat sailors prefer to just meander about\, taking in the sights\, others prefer to fly at blinding speed. In an effort to appeal to as many of the small boat types as is practical\, this event will have classes. Also\, in an effort to balance the spectrum of small boat types\, some legs will be sailing only\, while others will be rowing/paddling/pedaling (human-powered) only\, and most will be whatever combination you prefer. \nRacing class:\n\nThis will be a hard fought\, bitterly contested\, no holds barred\, battle for supremacy. To maintain this level of focus\, racers will want light\, empty boats\, and minimal equipment. That is why our motherships will be here: to relieve us of that burden of gear (and feed us). The ultimate glory of this adventure will belong to those of the racing class. \nCruising class:\n\n\n\n\nThis will be the best time out sailing and camping with your friends. Ever. Be totally self-sufficient\, or join the racers for meals on the mother ship. Fill your boat with all the favourite\, non-perishable food items that you usually bring on every week-long sailing trip; or pay for meals but not for prizes. Either way\, you’ll get to laugh at the antics of the racers — battling for every fraction of a knot of boat speed. Enjoy the spectacle\, while basking in the glow of your own\, self-reliant\, non-competitive accomplishments. \nThe long course:\n\n\n\nThis course will be for an elite few\, who find the modest course distances outlined to be an insufficient challenge\, and wish to demonstrate their superior speed by sailing circles around the fleet. Literally. Upon reaching a pre-determined waypoint\, long course challengers will then double back and round the race boat at the back of the fleet\, before continuing on to the finish. This will promote safety\, by keeping the fastest boats in touch with the slowest\, and will add entertainment value for those in the back of the fleet\, giving them a chance to see what fast boats look like under sail. Those who achieve victory in the long course will receive their own even-faster-than-the-regular-racers trophy. \nGetting there and away:\nBarefoot Raids typically start and finish at a boat ramp parking nearby for trucks and trailers. Often there are camping options in the vicinity. Some participants anchor out prior to the start day or cruise to the start line sans trailer. \nCosts:\nAll amounts are in Canadian dollars. Cost for full race participants will be $1100 (Canadian) per boat and skipper\, and $600 for each additional crew. \nPayment can be made by cheque\, money order\, eTransfer\, or crypto. Contact Commodore Quill quillgoldman@gmail.com for e-transfer. Cheques and money orders can be made to Barefoot Wooden Boats\, and sent to 2925 North Rd.\, Gabriola Island B.C. V0R 1X7. Equivalent in gold bullion or silver accepted as well. \nWhat you will need:\nBesides your winning attitude\, there are a few things you will need to bring with you on the Raid. Some\, are required under Canadian Maritime law. Others are just things you should never go to sea without\, and are required under Raid law. \nThe following is a list of things you MUST bring:\n\nLife jacket for each person on your boat\n50’ buoyant heaving line\nNoise making device\nFlares\nCompass\nVHF radio\nPaper Charts of all the area travelled on the Raid.\nAnchor sufficient to hold your boat in strong winds\, 20’ chain\, and 200’ anchor rode. (minimum)\nThree\,  20’ lines for mooring boat.\nGPS device (e.g. handheld GPS\, Navionics on a smart phone\, in a waterproof case…)\nSpare batteries and charge cords for devices\nKnife\nHeadlamp\nFire (lighter\, matches…)\nPersonal cutlery kit (plate\, bowl\, cup\, knife\, spoon\, fork…)\nSleeping gear\nShelter (tent\, tarp…)\nWaterproof bag with a dry change of warm clothes\nSpare oar or paddle\n4 good fenders.\nBasic first aid kit\n\nThese are some things you might want:\n\n300’ or more\, of line\, with pulleys sufficient to rig a clothesline mooring system\nSleeping pad\nBeach chair\nSunscreen\nSunglasses\nLip chap\nBasic spares kit\nDry bags for everything\nBlankey…

SUMMARY:Charity Boat Auction CBMM
DESCRIPTION:CBMM will host its annual Charity Boat Auction on Saturday\, Aug. 31\, inviting guests to its waterfront campus to bid on donated vessels of all shapes and sizes in support of its mission. \nDozens of boats and watercraft\, ranging in size and performance\, will be auctioned off to the highest bidders. New this year\, there will be reserves on several top-quality vessels\, while the rest will be offered with no minimum. \nThe doors open at 8am\, providing an opportunity to browse the inventory before the auction begins at 11am. The official rules and absentee bidding protocols are available here. Check back here for the full inventory list closer to the auction date. \nA Labor Day weekend staple for more than two decades\, the Charity Boat Auction is the flagship event of CBMM’s Charity Boat Donation Program\, which accepts and sells gently used boats year-round. Every sale directly supports CBMM’s mission to explore and preserve the history\, environment\, and culture of the entire Chesapeake Bay region and make this resource available to all. \nThis year’s featured vessels include a Century 27 with like-new twin Yamaha engines\, a Carolina Skiff 19 well-equipped for Bay adventures\, a turnkey O’Day 31 sailboat\, a Jarvis Newman 46 with liveaboard potential\, and a 2014 Sea-Doo personal watercraft with less than 40 hours of runtime. \nBeginning at 8:30am\, guests can also shop a flea market-style tag sale that features a variety of used boating gear\, including ground tackle\, electrical equipment\, hardware\, rope\, chain\, oars\, life jackets\, motors\, and more. Adding to the festive atmosphere\, there will be a variety of local food trucks on hand and beer available for purchase. \nProspective buyers have several different ways to check out the inventory\, starting with a preview exclusively for CBMM members on Thursday\, Aug. 29\, from 5–7pm. \nThe auction boats will be listed online and available for public view at CBMM on Friday\, Aug. 30\, from 10am–6pm.
