Final sail of the 2021 season. We'll deliver Vento Solare from the Navy Marina to Borden Light Marina.
Meet at either:
- 0930 – Borden Light Marina
or - 1000 – Navy Marina
Scott & I will preposition a car at Borden Light Marina 0930 and drive to the Navy base. We should be there about 10am. We'll then sail up the bay to Borden Light.
Once at Borden Light the sails will be dropped, folded and taken off the boat. The engine system will be winterized and the boat ready to haul.
Those who want to pre-position a car at Borden Light can meet us 0930, or those who want to drive back with us to the Navy base afterwards can meet at the base at 1000.
Bring whatever snacks and beverages you want. I have rum and ginger beer on the boat.
