KSA Mid Summer Flotilla Float Plan   Dates:  August 1 thru August 9

7/27 UPDATE:

We currently have 10 boats participating at various ports of call starting Saturday in Mystic.

Weather looks very good.  We do have room for more captains.  Please consider joining with your boat if you can! It's not too late.

Note: Mystic, first night Saturday August 1, will now be upgraded from just a BYOB Dock Party to a BYOB Pot Luck Dinner Dock Party. Plan to start around 6.

Also if you have any specific questions for the organizers please email summerflotilla@ksasailing.org from now through the whole flotilla.  The KSA Facebook page is also a great place to share photos and comments.

Remember to be safe on the water and most of all have fun!  Hope to see many of you in the next week!
