Do the Boats go out in the rain?

Yes, we cruise in all weather. However, dense fog and high winds, on occasion, may keep us at the dock. The final call will be taken by the Captain of the boat. If it is not safe to sail, the boat will be used as a docked venue.

What should we wear?

Clothing that is appropriate to both the weather and the event is recommended. The important rule is to be comfortable.

Yes. However, you may experience some “dead” zones out on the lake.
