On the water

The following itinerary is approximate and subject to change.

Friday Sept 6

• Anchors away! We aim to leave the dock, provided that everyone arrives sufficiently prior to sunset. We won't make it far, but we'll find a nice place to anchor, cook dinner, and watch sunset from the roof.

• If all guests arrive by 6pm, we'll set out of the marina. If any guest is running late, we'll remain moored in the marina for the night.

Saturday Sept 7

• A full day! We'll make a big breakfast spread nice and early, and then head out. 

  • --> Possible destination is "The Backbone" / a set of natural waterslides down the lake

• Expect lots of lounging and lots of swimming.

• Sundowner drinks w/ a campfire on the shore.

• We'll cook something delightful for lunch and dinner and revel as late as we want to revel.

Sunday Sept 8

• We can sleep in and cook a mid-morning breakfast.

• We can get in some last swimming before and while heading back to the marina.

• We'll probably have copious amounts of food left, so we'll eat that for lunch.

• We'll aim to dock by 3pm at the latest, so you'll be back in time to reset for the week ahead.
