Gentle reminder - Saysutshun Provincial Park Albineer Rendezvous

[skol]

The Albineers’ Rendezvous at Saysutshun (Newcastle Island) Provincial Park is coming fast - five days away. This is just a reminder in case you missed my original message.  Seven boats and one 'wheeler' are coming as far as we know.

For those who like the blues, there is a great Blues Festival across the water from Saysutshun at Maffeo-Sutton Park - a boat ride away on the foot ferry.

The plan is to get together starting late afternoon Sunday August 13th or whenever you arrive to mid-day Tuesday August 15th or whenever you leave.  These dates will avoid the local weekend crowds and provide a better opportunity for finding dock space or a vacant mooring buoy. There is also room to anchor beyond the buoys. There are no reservations - moorage is on a first come/first served basis.

More information on Saysutshun Provincial Park is on the park website. Anyone who is adventurous can dinghy over to the Dinghy Dock Pub for a meal or two. 

Coming on wheels? Take the foot-ferry to the island from Maffeo-Sutton Park in downtown Nanaimo. There is also the Brechin Boat Launch for anyone who wants to launch nearby.

Let's all have dinner together on Monday evening starting around 5:30 at the picnic tables near the head of the docks.

Hope you can make it. Contact me anytime if you have questions or comments (gra...@telus.net; 250.619-0928).
