Monroe Boat Club 2010 Sailing Activities The upcoming boating season at MBC will offer activities for all sailors and families. There will be at least three (3) cruises planned: 4th of July and Labor Day will feature day-sails up and down the shoreline, or out to the historic Toledo Harbor Light and back. Upon your return to the club, we’ll have a “bring your own” social gathering centered on the lawn and BBQ Pavilion. Mid-summer will bring the Second Annual Overnight Cruise. This year the destination will be the brand-new docks on Middle Bass Island. Plans include an afternoon social gathering, swimming, and evening dinner at a nearby restaurant. These cruises are open to everyone and are free, with the exception of dockage paid to Middle Bass Island. Enjoy sailing in the company of other boats, and the camaraderie and fun talking about your experiences afterwards. For the competitive sailor or those that just want to get on the lake with other sailboats during the week, each Tuesday evening there are Jib and Main and Spinnaker races that begin at the “North Mark” at the end of the Bolles Harbor Channel. These start at 7pm sharp and typically last about an hour and a half. This series will begin May 18 and everyone looks forward to a nice awards dinner in the fall.
