CRUISING GUIDELINES FOR NORTH SHORE YACHT CLUB

All scheduled dates & locations are subject to change due to weather conditions.  Early departure Fridays or long weekend are optional.  You are responsible for making your own reservations at Yacht Clubs for these weekends, although a block of moorings will be reserved at Northport YC for Labor Day (contact sailjoan@yahoo.com). Sign up for email notifications.  Watch the Club Bulletin Board for up to date information.

Monitor channel 78 on your VHF. Each sponsored North Shore Yacht Club cruise will have a predetermined Head of the Cruise. Advise the Head of the Cruise that you plan to attend the cruise and advise of your whereabouts (feel free to come and go as you please, but keep in mind the Head of the Cruise is responsible for keeping track of all boats). Be advised that the final destination for these cruises may change at the last moment due to weather conditions. Only the Head of the Cruise will have the latest update (not the Club Steward).

If you cut your cruise short or arrive early, please advise the Head of the Cruise via channel 78 or cell phone (if available).

Please bring wine, beer or other beverages and appetizers to share for most of our cruises as the social aspect of our famous Happy Hours is one of our favorite aspects! It is possible the boats may raft up, however, the decision may be made to anchor and hold the Happy Hour aboard one or more boats. Dinghy rides are generally available between boats.
