May Rendezvous at Poets Cove

After a four year pause, the Vancouver Island Chapter is very happy to launch the 2023 cruising season back on the Breakwater Dock at Poet’s Cove, for our fun-filled ‘meet up’ of boats—and minds.  And minds, you ask?

Yes, the theme of this year’s get together at Poet’s Cove is, aptly, poetry. With very broad poetic license, compete for the best composition and performance of an original piece—by you, of course. Perhaps an ode to the love of your life—boat or partner?—cruising strife? OR—you choose. Recite or sing or dance or mime?

First, second and third prizes will be awarded;  judging by the ‘clap-o-meter’.

We’ll also include some of the tried, true and beloved activities—such as microscopy with our own Dr. Elaine Humphrey, laboratory manager at the Advanced Microscopy Facility at the University of Victoria, and star of CBC Sunday morning radio; silly races, sing-a-longs, timed bowline knot tying—maybe with our feet, on shore hike, and whatever we can come up with before May 19th.

Most important now is that you register on our website and BOOK your spot on the floating dock at $1/foot by calling Poet’s Cove Marina direct: 1-250-629-2111. No power or water on dock. Mooring balls are first come and anchoring is free.

Registration fee of $10/person and the signing of the liability waiver will be done when you arrive at the Host Boat, Golden Girl. Registration fee will include continental style breakfast on Sunday and Monday.

Confirmation of activities and schedule can be found on the BCA website calendar.
