The May Classic Boat Day is on Thursday the 15th.
The plan is to be at the Goolwa Aquatic Club boat ramp, Barrage Rd, at around 10.30 for launching and then be under way at around 11.00am and head around to the Currency Creek Boating Destination. This public ramp is a double ramp and an excellent carparking and with decent facilities.
For those who don’t have access to a boat and who would like to travel with somebody else, and just join us for lunch you will be most welcome to come along.
It is a nice cruise around to Currency Creek of just over an hour or so.
If the weather is not in our favour Plan B will be to go and have lunch at the Hindmarsh Island Tavern.
Stephen is the event manager for the day, his contact details are above and below.
If you are going to participate please contact him asap to let him know in case we have any change to the event. Stephen will keep an eye on the weather forecast and keep those people who have registered an interest to attend informed of any changes to the program the day prior.
Please bring along all your catering needs as there is no shop at the picnic spot, we might even have an open fire, again weather permitting.
Be mindful of new life jacket / PDF requirements now enforced by Marine Safety.
A two way radio is very helpful at these events, the WBASA preferred UHF channel is 27.
These Classic Boat Days are a great way to get your boat wet, enjoy the company of like minded boaties and chill out. Make sure you note the dates in your WBASA calendar and get along. They also a great way to test your boat out, get some advice about anything you need and of course check out the other boats. Support to launch and retrieve your boat, getting a tow if needed (yes, boats do breakdown) and, best of all the opportunity to get your boat’s photo in the WBASA calendar are all good reasons to join in!
