This is Part 1 of a 3 part cruise spanning 2 weeks. Part 2 is the 4th of July Cruise to Garrison Bay and Part 3 is a cruise into Canadian waters to visit Victoria, Sidney, Genoa Bay and Poets Cove.  Join us for 1, 2 or all 3!  Whatever works with your schedule.

Join Pete and Jamie Foti for the annual 4th of July joint cruise with the Wheel and Keel. 

Garrison Bay is a great place to spend the 4th – it’s peaceful yet close enough to Roche Harbor to see the fireworks.  You can raft up with the group or anchor nearby if you prefer.  There’s lots to do during the day including exploring English Camp and hiking to the summit of Young’s Hill or going over to Roche Harbor.  Bring your best “concoction” and take part in the Annual Best Drink Mixing Contest.  Look for the Foti’s boat – Dragon’s Den, a 46′ Ponderosa Europa Trawler.  Bring extra fenders and dock lines for rafting.
