Rendezvous June 2016

We are now confirmed - arriving Friday, June 10, departing Sunday, June 12.  Each attendee must book their own reservation with the Ganges Marina under 'FOG'. The Marina will want a credit card to reserve the spot.  The reservations must be made by May 26th or space cannot be guaranteed. If we have more than 10 boats we get a group discount, otherwise regular rates apply. ($1.35 per foot + $5 for power per night) 

We have requested that we have the 'party float'.  No guarantees but they will try to accommodate.  If weather does not cooperate, hopefully one of the larger Fishers can host the Friday night appy/social.

If there are any folks attending without a boat here are a few choices for accommodation
    Salt Spring Inn 
    The Harbour House 
    Hastings House

Friday night appys/social around 5pm on the dock.  

Saturday, the market on your own. 
A fun wine tasting at the dock around 4 pm on the float (if we have it?) 
Dinner/ AGM at the Oystercatcher at 6 pm. 

Sunday am could be coffee on the dock if the interest is there.

Here is where it is!

Rendezvous 2015

A gathering of Fishers took place at Roche Harbor on June 19 - 21, 2015.  Again we were small in numbers but big in fun!

This Rendezvous included a very special event that had our members taking part in a re-naming ceremony for a 32 foot Cat Fisher (won't use the old name here, just in case.....you may remember the old boat did have her share of luck).  Not a detail was missed in this unique ceremony -


All attendees witness to the ceremony




Our Commadore reading the un-naming ceremony, all reference to the old name must be removed from the boat.








The sacrifice to Neptune and acknowledgement to the winds, North, South, East, West


  Part two the re-naming and christening!


'Katarina' 
newly named and freshly painted and polished..............






Pre-dinner songs accompanied by Steve and Nan on the Yuks 

Saturday night dinner followed by a short AGM

The warmish sunshine allowed the bravest of us to take an afternoon dip in the pool and there were many dock walks to compare vessels, Fishers and others.  A few dinghy rides and exploring the shore and resort filled in our free time. 

It's farewell for another year to this special group of Fisher folks.
