Mark your calendars for NSC’s premier summer event – the Baskin’s Beach BBQ on August 10th. Please register online, so we know how many to expect.
Your Social Committee is pleased to say that the owners of Baskin’s Beach have again agreed to let us host our event on their property again this year.
Weather forecast for Baskin’s weekend is for sun, temperatures 25° to 27°, light winds and NO RAIN – perfect for a relaxing sail and day at the beach.
Hamburgers, hot dogs, and of course delicious corn on the cob will be served around 5:30 p.m., followed by a sing-along around the campfire – so bring your instruments. Don’t have a tender; a water taxi can be hailed on channel 72 – so no excuses for not attending. For those coming by car, here are directions to Baskin’s Beach. Please park along the road and not on the property.
As part of our agreement with the owners, dogs are not allowed on the beach. However, you can take your tenders or water taxi to the other side of the beach and use the service lane to bring your dogs up to the road. Please respect bylaws and bring plastic bags to clean up after your dogs and keep them on a leash at all times.
The canteen up the hill does sell ice cream, pop, french fries, and for those not accustomed to cooking on board, they do serve a great breakfast too. They will also have a small inventory of ice, but you may want to load up before you set sail just in case they run out.
Baskin’s Beach has become a huge success over the last few years, and as with past years we are again asking that you bring a little donation to the pot when you come for the BBQ – just to help us recover some of the costs of this great event. Suggested “donation” – Adults $5, kids under 12 free – not much for what you get is it??
Again to help us plan and to know how much food to buy, please don’t forget to register online and we’ll see you on the 10th!
For a general description of what to expect, see the Baskin’s Beach post on our Annual Events page.
