Cruisers: Plan to stay at the Caladesi Marina overnight. Traditionally our cruisers stay overnight on Friday night, and many stay overnight on Saturday night as well. There is usually a bonfire and cookout, and there have been a few occasions when we watched "Captain Ron". It is always a fun day on Caladesi and a fun evening around the campfire.
Non-cruisers: Bring your boat for the day, catch a ride over/back with a friend, or take the Caladesi Ferry over/back for the day.
This meeting is mandatory for all Skipper's participating in the 2023 Lighted Boat Parade.
