Reminder for the dates... May 4-7.
Roche Harbor Marina, San Juan Island
Points to note:
If you have signed up then you need not contact the marina until after you dock. They usually have a dock registration official come to your boat after you tie up.
There will be lots of dock help for your docking.
We will be on the guest dock, closest to the shore by the hotel. You will see the white tent. We have the entire end of the dock reserved, so pick a slip and back in. Lots of depth on the shore side.
The marina supplies a party tent or two with heat, garbage, and 4-5 gas bbqs, chairs, and tables. This tent is where you register for the Rendezvous.
Other Roche Harbor amenities:
Fine dining at Hotel De Haro, reservations are a good idea.
Cafe at the top of the dock.

Clothing shopping upstairs over grocery.

Pump out for holding tanks
Showers (6 quarters = 5? minutes)
