August is one of the best months to enjoy the club for a sail, swim, paddle, cookout or just to watch the boats go by. There is plenty of summer left, and lots of activities for everyone. ��Why not make a reservation for a party or event? There is no better location for a relaxed gathering of friends, colleagues and family. Hope to see you soon!
