The weekend of July 16-18 did not have the most promising weather forecast, but happily we had nice weather for most of our activities. Some of our members went out to Sunset Cove on Friday night to raft up for Aquapalooza. Meanwhile, other members spent their Friday evening welcoming our neighbors from the Lake Murray Power Squadron to our gorgeous Lake Lanier with hors d’oeuvres and dinner at Hideaway Bay Marina.

On Saturday, members of both squadrons enjoyed our time together swimming, sharing good food, and enjoying beach activities like hula hooping at Sunset Cove. It was terrific to meet other power squadron members from Lake Murray and get to spend time enjoying the water and getting to know one another better. Of course, the ASPS was happy to show them a great time that they won’t soon forget!

Look for The Atlanta Sail & Power Squadron at Aquapalooza!

MarineMax and Lake Lanier Islands Resort are teaming up to make this years Aquapalooza event in Georgia the best one ever… and last year there were over 400 boats and 2,000 people in attendance!

*MarineMax Staff will be monitoring Channel 72 on your VHF radio the entire weekend. When entering the cove, radio MarineMax Staff and they will instruct you where to raft up.*
