Catboat Rendezvous On Florida Bay...Feb. 17,18,19.

The Upper Keys Sailing Club is sponsoring a Catboat Rendezvous on the weekend of February 17, 18th and 19th. The club wants to make this an annual invitational event for any and all Catboaters and plans are in place for you and any other Catboaters you know to join us. We are to be advertised in the Catboat Association Bulletins along with all the other Rendezvous and whatever buzz we can create for this  event will add to the promotion for future years. More information will follow. Please spread the word to your friends.

The Upper Keys Sailing Club is located in Key Largo, bay side, and is inviting all Catboats sailed or trailered . I will give further information as received. Although we have had a couple rendezvous previously, this will be the the first one advertised in the Catboat Bulletin and hosted by a sailing club. We have almost ten Catboats on the Fl. Bay now, it looks as if the fever is spreading.

It should be a great weekend of sailing activities, food and friendship, mark your calendar.

    Lovely picture. I like the color of the water.

    WV: prolyst - how an experienced sailor heels his boat.

    On the Florida Bay, the water can go from aqua to perfectly clear to deep blue depending on the water depth, bottom conditions and cloud cover. One definetly has to be on their toes, if they don't have local knowledge of this body of water. The laws are very strict in the Everglades National Park, you get fined, by the foot for any Turtle Grass that you destroy resulting from a grounding. The upside, some of the best sailing in the world.
    Aqua is a tone of the color cyan (from Greek: κύανoς (transliterated: kýanos), meaning "blue")
