The Plan
The cruise begins with a Thursday morning sail, at your leisure, to NYCC to enjoy the pool, lunch, and cocktails. At 1630 Thursday and Friday, before the music starts, we’ll meet at the Dock “C” T-Head and get reacquainted and reorganized over dock tails.
On Thursday with everyone gathered, we’ll walk to the Hermitage, about a 5-minute walk from NYCC. Doors open at 1730. Music starts at 1800. Guests may bring lawn chairs, blankets, and food. Cash and credit are welcome. Concert admission is $15 online up to 4 days in advance (Sunsets Tickets), or $20 at the door. Food Trucks are available or we can return to NYCC for a late dinner or dessert. NYCC serves dinner until 2100.
On Friday we’ll repeat, gather everyone at 1630 at the Dock “C” T-Head, and stroll to the pool for music and dancing. We’ll decide then if dinner is poolside or in the club house.
