SF Beach Cruise to Port Charlotte Beach Park
Weather is getting good, snowbirds are arriving! Time for a trip across the harbor to the beach!!
Dawn and Kevin Smith will lead a local cruise across to the north shore of Charlotte Harbor
to Port Charlotte Beach Park. Low tide (0.0) is 10:00am, high tide (+1.7) is 4:15pm, so there will be plenty of beach.
You can put the bow of your boat up to the beach and walk ashore. It's a small beach, but sandy.
Boaters
- please invite other members on your boat if you are able.
Other members
- if you are not able to take your boat, reach out to another member and see if you can jump on with them.
Saturday, Oct 28 - 11:30am - 2:00pm
- We will try to be at the beach by 11:30am
- The club will set up a propane BBQ grill if you want to bring food to grill yourself. BYO everything (chairs, umbrellas, food, drinks).
