SUMMARY:**MUSIC POSTPONED DUE TO INCLEMENT WEATHER** QH Flotilla with Jazz at the South Basin
DESCRIPTION:  \n⚓️ Jazz on the Lagoon Update ⚓️ \nDue to the forecast for thunderstorms and the uncertainty of where and when storms may develop this afternoon\, the orchestra has elected not to perform. Their performance requires electrical equipment\, amplifiers\, microphones\, and speakers that cannot safely be exposed to rain. \nHowever\, members are still welcome to enjoy an informal raft-up and social gathering on the lagoon. Bring your favorite wine\, cheese\, and snacks\, and enjoy an afternoon with fellow members if the weather permits. \nWe look forward to rescheduling the orchestra for a future date with better weather! \n  \n____________________________________________________________________________________________________________ \nSettle in for a one-of-a-kind afternoon on the water where live jazz meets laid-back luxury. \nJoin us on Sunday\, May 31 from 3:00–5:00 PM for a floating concert experience featuring the Raisin Cake Orchestra\, performing from the dock of Wayne Waters and Tegie Martin at 688 Hawks Trace Drive. Designed as a boat-only event\, members will gather by water\, anchoring and rafting together to create a relaxed\, social atmosphere with incredible live music. \nThe Raisin Cake Orchestra delivers the lively sounds and rhythms of traditional and New Orleans jazz—think upbeat brass\, toe-tapping rhythms\, and classic melodies that carry beautifully across the water. The band will perform two 50-minute sets with a short intermission in between. \nWe’ve intentionally scheduled this as an afternoon event so everyone can enjoy the music comfortably on the water—no battling the evening gnats\, just great weather\, great company\, and great jazz. In the event of rain\, the concert will be rescheduled. \nEvent Details: \n\n📍 Location: Dock of Wayne Waters & Tegie Martin (boat access only) QH South Basin\n🗓️ Date & Time: Sunday\, May 31\, 2026 3:00–5:00 PM\n🚤 Arrival: By boat only—guests will anchor and raft together nearby\n🎶 Music: Raisin Cake Orchestra – Traditional & New Orleans Jazz\n⏱️ Performance: Two 50-minute sets with a short break\n\nRegistration: \n\nBringing your own boat? Register below to secure your spot.\nNeed a ride? Register below and we’ll coordinate a place for you aboard another member’s boat.\n\nTie up\, kick back\, and enjoy an afternoon of classic jazz on the water—yacht club style. 🎷 \n

SUMMARY:Annual QH Docktails & Sunset Lagoon Cruise
DESCRIPTION:Annual QH Sunset Lagoon Cruise\nJoin fellow Queen’s Harbour Yacht Club members for a relaxed evening of docktails\, delicious bites\, great company\, and a sunset cruise on the lagoon. \nDate: Monday\, June 8\nTime: 5:30 PM – 8:00 PM \nHow It Works\nIf you’re new to the Lagoon Cruise\, here’s what to expect! \nMembers will gather on the Country Club patio at 5:30 PM. Although the Club is closed on Mondays\, they have graciously allowed us to use the patio for pre-cruise docktails and socializing. \nPlease bring an appetizer and a favorite bottle of wine or other beverage to share. A food sign-up link has been distributed by Judy Ellis to those who have signed up thus far. \nWe encourage members with boats to host fellow members who do not have a boat available for the evening. After about an hour of socializing\, the boats will begin arriving to load passengers for the cruise. \nTo make the evening more fun and help everyone get to know one another\, passengers are assigned to boats by a random drawing. It’s a great opportunity to meet members you may not otherwise have the chance to spend time with. \nFollowing our sunset cruise\, we’ll return to the marina around 8:00 PM and gather back at the patio to collect belongings\, visit a little longer\, and help tidy up before heading home. \nWhether you’re a longtime member or attending for the first time\, we hope you’ll join us for a relaxed evening on the water with friends\, food\, and beautiful views of Queen’s Harbour. \nPlease RSVP to Judy Ellis at jtwo73@hotmail.com.

SUMMARY:Overnight Cruise: Silver Glen and Salt Springs (up the St. John's River)
DESCRIPTION:Trip Captains:  Mac and Karen Holley \nIf you go by boat\, we suggest at least three nights and two full days because it’s a bit of a haul to get there.  Estimate 6-7 hours for big boats travelling 20-22 knots. So Thursday and Sunday would be largely travel days. \nPart of the intrigue to that area is going up into the springs (Silver Glen and Salt Springs) and a tour of the Oklawaha River.  The big boats can’t get in there\, so I we plan to rent a couple of pontoon boats for that part\, or if we have some others coming down in smaller boats (3 ft or less draft)\, they could give the others a ride. \nAccommodations: \nRenegades indicated they are installing finger docks on all four of their big boat slips.  Currently\, only one of the large boat slips is next to a dock where the boat riders can exit from the side of the boat.  For the other three large boat slips\, they currently have pilings but boats have to pull in bow or stern first and there is quite a step up to the dock from a typical swim platform level or step down from a bow – so not really functional for most boaters (accept for us young bucks).  With the new finger docks\, that will solve that problem making all four slips very usable. The general manager assured me that the new finger docks would be installed before October. \nThere are also 15 motel rooms at Porky’s Lodge Bar and Grill which is only a 5 minute drive from Renegades or about a 10 minute boat ride on the river.  This would give us good availability for those who want to drive down and / or not stay on their boat.  Porky’s can accommodate 2 large boats on their dock as well. \nIf we have more than 6 large boats interested in the trip\, for those large boats with dinghies\, they can anchor off Renegades and dinghy in.  Both Renegades and Porky’s cater to smaller boats with 7 ft or less beams (boats up to 22-23 feet.  Both have covered slips that folks can reserve for the smaller boats. \nIf anyone wants to trailer their boat down versus the long ride by water\, Renegades has a boat ramp and trailer storage for those staying there\, and there is a great public ramp very close to Porky’s and they have places to store trailers for those staying there. \nDining and entertainment: \nBoth Renegades and Porky’s have good restaurants.  Renegades tiki bar is fantastic and has great live music on Thursday through Sunday.  Porky’s has a good indoor bar as well as tables on an outside deck overlooking the river.
