Q:
What do we do at Rendezvous?
A: Socializing is a
big part of Rendezvous. Many of the activities are weather related and

trip or 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.

officially begins on Saturday morning. Most of our members and guests
