River Trip to Peppermint Grove 15th May 2022

The weather hadn’t been looking that great in the week leading up to the planned river trip and Bar B Q at Peppermint Grove, however we decided to continue and hope for the best.

Everyone met at Maylands Boat Ramp about 9.30am with a planned departure around 10.00am, 3 boats arrived with their crews and proceeded to launch, we headed off downstream and the conditions couldn’t have been better apart from being a little cold out of the sun, there was very little wind and the sun did come out from time to time, as we cruised past the city we received word that a 4th boat was there waiting for us (Steve & Lina), there was very little traffic on the river and little chop so everyone got chance to stretch the legs of there motors, we pulled into Peppermint Grove and navigated our ways through the small sailing boats and onto the beach.

Once ashore the Bar B Q was started and people began cooking their lunch and having some welldeserved refreshments, we were joined by Andy and Rina who arrived by car.

GENERAL BUSINESS

Following the recent lifting of the COVID restrictions within the club Power Boat section Members numbers appear to be raising

After lunch was finished Lina & Steve suggested that everyone take Finska (A kind of skittles). This turned out to be great fun, everyone then climbed back onto the boats and headed back to Maylands and then home, Another Great day that was fully enjoyed by all that attended.
