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!
