Bonjour, Boaters! Join Us for a Springtime French Picnic! ⚓
Dear Cruising Friends,
We're excited to invite you to our annual French Picnic, now with a fresh twist! Traditionally held the weekend after Thanksgiving, this beloved event has sailed into springtime for a delightful new setting.
Date: April 25-April 27 the actual picnic will be on Saturday the 26th
Location: Double Bayou Pasture
What to Expect:
•A relaxed afternoon of camaraderie and fine French-inspired dining.
•A French Dish Contest: Bring your tastiest French dish for a chance to win prizes! Think quiche, coq au vin, baguettes, or your best French dessert.
We will have a champagne fountain and a French ambiance.
Whether you're channeling your inner Julia Child or simply savoring the dishes, it's a great time to reconnect with fellow cruisers and celebrate spring.
Let's raise a glass (or a baguette!) to good food, good company, and the joy of boating! We look forward to seeing you there.
Bon appétit!
Cruise leader is Tim Marshall
Assistant Cruise leaders and social planners are Jeannie and Steve Keith
Last year we went back to the pasture with a couple boats drawing more than 5 feet with the thought of using the success of that cruise to promote a return to the French Picnic and here we are. The return to the Pasture Cruise was a great success and the only boat that got stuck even for a few minutes was me when I mistook the wreckage of Marker 11 for the totally missing marker 12, navigational error by me. The tidal situation this year is near optimal. The weather should be great and with a likely south wind there will surely be plenty of water up there. There are veterans of previous French Picnics involved in the planning of this cruise and I'm really excited to be leading it.
