This year, the BCA peeps get together at Newcastle Island Provincial Marine Park again to celebrate Seamanship, Hollywood style! So, think safety at sea … think Gilligan’s Island… All Is Lost…you name it, and dress-up as your favourite character from a sailing/boating movie or TV show. There will be prizes for the two best costumes (individual or group)! In the meantime, dig up your best potluck recipe and be prepared for a great weekend full of activities and fun.

Unfortunately, there is no room on our ship, as it is filled to capacity. Our sail boat Aries has still 5″ of free board to the gunnels, will hopefully arrive for the festivities, provided there is room on the Ferry.
Never experienced an “All is Lost ” situation before.
