CANADA DAY FLOATILLA

Well, the middle of June has come and gone, it’s time to start thinking about the Canada Day long-weekend.  I hope everyone saved the flag streamers I gave out last year.  I have managed to get a few more for this year, but please try to remember to stow them away for Canada Day each year.  We hope to see as many flags, of any sizes SIZES on as many boats, of any sizes SIZES  as possible again this year.  I will put some fliers out around the marina, but pass the word to anyone that may be interested. 

There are all kinds of Canada Flags in all different sizes available at any of the $ Dollar stores, please get lots.  They don't have to be the good quality expensive ones, as you are only going to fly them for this weekend.   I put mine away and add a few new ones each year. 

As we did last year, we will gather North - East of the harbour entrance around 11:30 am.  (For those navigators that had difficulty last year figuring out where North East of the harbour entrance is, that is slightly north towards Gimli and a little out on the lake towards Grand Beach. )  Dah...

 At 11:45 we will fall in line and head for the water tower, then turn and parade slowly along the beach front just outside the swim line with flags flying and horns blaring. 

Of course all of this is weather permitting.  We would not ask anyone to go out of the harbour if it's too rough.   

 

 

HAVE A HAPPY CANADA DAY
