Mark your calendar! It is just about time to “up anchor” and join up with a great crowd of fellow adventurers. All BCA members are invited to a unique and fun sailing event in memory of Past Commodore, Lex Peterson, whose legacy is “do it and get out there, BCA sailors, while you still can!” For those who are unsure about what this rally is all about, it is:

First and foremost, a cruising rally for those who are looking for some great local sailing and fun this summer.

Voyage-friendly for single-handers, female skippers, power boaters, and everyone in-between, be they old, young, with kids or without, dreamers, doers and doners!

All about fostering seamanship and friendship for people with an active interest in “inshore” cruising.
