Captains, mates and those who enjoy a fun day on the water meet Saturday, July 26th for our annual Boat Tie-up party !!! This is the 12th year for this bash and it's the best event of the Summer in Newport Harbor - ask anyone who's been there. Live Band, dancing, 20 boats, lotsa pretty mermaids, and fun for all !! There is an Aerial view below of a prior year's gathering.... this year even better !! We don't do any publicity on this party, keeping it on the down low.... Captains are in charge of their ship and guests !!! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Here's
the inside scoop and the information for July 26, 2008:
---------- Latest Flash Updates ---------- WOW !! The OC Register "Juice" crew will be filming this for their TV show..... Boat Captains Only please call me
anytime.... - Call the Boat Captains below to see if you can hitch a ride 1. This party will start at about 1pm and go until 5pm. Some Captains will come earlier, some later. Check with your Captain to see what time you sail !! Also, this year we have the Live Band on one of one of the boats, with enough room for dancing !!!
2. We have a tight list of large (very large) boats that are part of this. Only the boats on our list will be able to tie-up, otherwise the Harbor Patrol will bust us up (too many boats) and no one has any fun. Boats without a full crew of mermaids are not welcome. Please, No Boat Crashers !!!! Everyone's cooperation is appreciated. If you have a boat, anchor it safely aways off and take your tender or dinghy over to the party, you are welcome.
3. We have arranged a Duffy Shuttle back and forth from the Balboa Bay Club from 12:30 until about 6:00pm. Late
arrivals and early departures can use this access. You can park at the
BBC in Valet for $12 /day or use self parking (make a left as you enter the
BBC gate) for free. The Duffy will be leaving from the Balboa Bay Club Guest Dock. If you can
get there by some other safe means, come by. MORE INFO..... it
sounds like a lot of people are going to try to use this Duffy Shuttle, but
remember.... it's only a 10 passenger Duffy and it takes 20 minutes
round trip, so it is bound to be crowded and full. A better idea.... call the guys below who have extra room and see if
you can hook up with them if you will be there all day. Or hitch
a ride and anchor away and dinghy over. The Duffy is mostly for
people who need to leave early......
5.
It goes without saying, but.... enjoy our time, drink sensibly and no
drugs !!! The Harbor Patrol will be watching our every move through
binoculars, and they don't need much of an excuse to bust us up,
so..... be cool, have fun, do it right !!!!
