Our scheduled raft up was mostly a beach party. We had over 30 people attending. On Friday, Ronnie Young and I picked out a beach on the south end of Airport Island and put up a tend and positioned several chairs around the area. Early Saturday, Ronnie went over and collected trash. About 4 PM the club barge and my pontoon boat made several ferry trips to the island and shortly there after the first sailboat anchored. An in the water ball game which I was told was called “monkey in the middle” broke out. The appetizers were delicious. Ken fired up the grills and cooked some really large hamburgers and some dogs and sausage. This was followed by deserts and more beverages. The party started breaking up about 1/2 hour after sunset. Some however stayed on until well after dark. It was more of a beach party than a raft up. The beach was great and the water temperature pleasantly cool and we were out and about on the water in boats. Life is good.
