GREAT AMERICAN RAFT-UP and TASTE OF SOUTH SHORE highlighted in THE LOGThis edition of THE LOG features our GREAT AMERICAN RAFT-UP and TASTE OF SOUTHSHORE as a major event for Southern California Boaters.

This is it!!! This is our major outdoor event of the year. Talked about from Seattle to Cabo, it’s South Shore Yacht Club’s GREAT AMERICAN RAFT-UP featuring a live band on one of the boats.. This year it’s the unforgettable Surf Tones. This year we will also introduce a TASTE OF SOUTH SHORE with different foods to sample on member's boats. The event is open to our members, their guests, potential members, and anyone interest...ed in checking out South Shore Yacht Club, It’s all happening on Saturday, July 31 at the Lido Anchorage at 11:30 a.m. to 7:00 p.m., so mark your calendars.

We will dance to the sounds of the Surf Tones, one the best Surf and Blues Bands around. This event is in the middle of Newport Harbor, so you will need to come out on a boat or take one of our Shoreboats to one of our pick up points . Call the club number (949) 646-3102 for details on departure points. This year we are considering picking people up from the club dock or from the new improved dinghy dock at 15th Street and Balboa Ave, or both.

We are “suggesting” a $10 donation for shoreboat rides and a wrist band for the TASTE OF SOUTH SHORE. All proceeds and donations will be used to offset the cost of the event. If there is any profit, it will be donated to the Newport Sea Bases for their children’s programs.

There will be lots of activities such as Hot Tubs in the water, dinghy or kayak races, dancing, and now a TASTE OF SOUTH SHORE. For the boats staying over-night, the next morning we will head out to Newport’s back bay for a Kayak adventure. We hope to see every South Shore Boat as well as potential members’ boats, and we hope to see every South Shore member as well as potential members. So join us for what is now our now famous GREAT AMERICAN RAFT-UP and TASTE OF SOUTH SHORE.

Party, Party, and Party. For racers and their friends and all members of South Shore Yacht Club. On Friday Night, there is a fantastic send off party for the Border Run race NOW AT THE BALBOA INN:

If you are coming by boat, Sea Tow will be offering shuttle service to the public dock in the Balboa Fun Zone, just a short 3 minute walk to the party. Sea Tow can be reached on channel 11 and for a nominal charge of $2.00 per person, will pick you up and deliver you to the dock. The party starts at 5pm and there will be a Skipper’s Meeting at 7:00.

May 8, 2010 Opening Day Ceremonies and Harbor Cruise / Parade
09:00

Yes, even in California, yacht clubs have a date when the officially open. (Of course, as you guessed, this is a hold-over from places like Newport, Rhode Island where the yacht harbor actually shuts down during the snow and ice and all the boats go south until “Opening Day”.) Ours is May 8 at 9AM. We invite the harbormaster, and the officers of southern California clubs and start off a day that includes the openings of Lido Island Yacht Club, Balboa Yacht Club, and Bahia Corinthian Yacht Club. Meet members of other club, hear the cannons thunder, have a free champaine light breakfast, then take a Harbor Cruise as we parade arround the Harbor. Great fun for all...

Join us for a sail on one of our boats from Newport Beach to Dana Point, or come to our raft-up party in the Dana Point Harbor over memorial day weekend. If you can't make the sail down, or the sail back, then you can drive to Dana Point and join the fun. South Shore Yacht Club is looking for new members.
