NOTE: All summer Sailouts are designed to maximize sailing time and minimize the potential dangers from strong afternoon thunderstorms and tropical systems. Bring LOTS of water, protect yourself from the sun, lightning, and rain.

If a Tropical System is in the area or headed our way, consider the event CANCELED. Take care of your family and property first. The fall will be here before you know it, and with it lots of fine sailing and cruises.

All Daysails meet at the launch sites at 9:30 a.m.

July 11th - Saturday - Fort DeSoto - A Pinellas County Park - $5 launch fee. Launch at these excellent ramps and sail out to Shell Key or the north beach of Fort DeSoto. Soak in the shallow water to stay cool.

July 25th - Saturday - Hillsborough Bay and Davis Island - Launch at the Free Davis Island ramps right across from the Peter OKnight air field and Davis Island Yacht Club. Sail southeast across the shipping channel (watch for ships!) and down to Fantasy Island for a picnic.

 

August 8th - Saturday - Lake Seminole Park - 5$ ramp fee - Public Ramps at Lake Seminole Prk - off of Park Blvd in Pinellas County. Picnic tables - shelters - nice lake!

No swimming -- too many gators! Cool off with a beer and a great fish sandwich in the restaurant.
