The Most Asked Questions;

Q: What is Rendezvous? (updated 2011 )

A: Rendezvous is a annual social gathering of our volunteers, members and their friends. This annual Rendezvous is normally held at a marina or yacht club. It is usually scheduled for early to mid July. For a number of years, we have been alternating between Lake Ontario and Georgian Bay on Lake Huron.

Q: What are we going to do?

A: Socializing is a big part of Rendezvous. Many of the activities are weather related and your participation is completely optional. You may wish to tour some of the member's boats, share some boating experiences, perhaps go on a boat trip, somewhere for lunch. There will be kids events, games, nautical competitions, dinghy races, door prizes, etc. It promises to be a good time for everyone.

After a healthy day on the water or at least out of doors, a BBQ is held on Saturday evening.

The Rendezvous wraps up with another brunch on the Sunday morning.
