RAFT UP
This isn't exactly what our Raft Ups look like, but ours, while not as adventurous, are great fun. Once a month usually around the full moon who ever wants to join in ties up on a bouy just north of the Old Port Marina. Drinks, food and a good time are shared by all.

Rafting Up.....
Suggestions from Tom on the proper procedure for rafting up alongside MY NEW BOAT
Once the Boat Captain has secured the anchor, she/he will contact the boats that will be rafting up, Before you even think of approaching MY NEW BOAT (anchor boat) make sure that your fenders are out and your bow, stern and spring lines are attached to your vessel. As you approach MY NEW BOAT (anchor boat ) you should be parallel to and along side ....at no time as you approach should your bow or anchor be pointed at MY NEW BOAT (anchor boat). As you come along side toss your forward line out to the person who is waiting on the bow, as the bow line is secured, the natural action of the wind and the set anchor will bring you softly alongside MY NEW BOAT.
