We just wanted to tell all the boaters in Indian River County who are not members of the Vero Beach Power Squadron (VBPS) Happy New Year.
We would also like to extend an invitation to join us at a social at our facility to welcome the New Year and meet some new friends who have a similar interest. The first Friday Social of the year is coming up on January 8. It starts at 5:30 and we encourage you to stop in.
What we are looking for is a few good men and women who have a love of the water, boats, social activity, civic service, fine dining, cruising and adventure. Our event calendar for 2010 includes a lot of fun stuff you will be missing out on if you aren’t with us.
Try it you’ll like it. There are 6-9 raft ups coming up. That’s when those who have boats invite those who don’t, to join them aboard vessels for a day on the water. A destination is selected on the Indian River and all the boats meet, tie up together and hang out for the day. It’s a great way to meet new people and checkout the various boats that members have. That’s my favorite part of the day.
One spot, which is a VBPS tradition is a place called Hole-in-the-Wall on the Indian River near Johns Island. Another is the Ft Pierce inlet on the left side of the channel as you head to sea. Last year it was quite interesting to watch all the boats that were tied together swing 180 degrees, as the tide changed direction. Very impressive indeed! So if you want to join us on a raft up, please do, but contact us first to verify the date and spot.
So from all of us at the VBPS to all of you boaters in Indian River County…Boating is fun and if you join us we commit to show you how to make it more enjoyable.
