KICKIMUIT RIVER RENDEZVOUS

There is an OSCA weekend rendezvous on the Kickimuit River Saturday and Sunday, June 21 & 22. The opening to the river is located on Mt. Hope Bay, generally opposite and North of the Sakonnet River. High tide is mid-afternoon, (approximately 2:30) and entrance to the river is easy as the channel is well-marked.  We will be anchoring in the river which looks more like a lake. Good anchoring mud awaits and this location is known as a hurricane hole because it is well protected.

Last call for dinner reservations at Perella's Restaurant on Saturday the 21st.  We will be feasting on a full BARBECUE dinner!  Transportation will be provided from the river.  If you can't make it by boat, you are welcome to come to dinner by car.  Dinner at 6pm we will arrive at Perellas at 5:30. 

The address is: Perella's Restaurant, 311 Metacom Ave., Warren, RI (401) 245-0150

Please make checks payable to OSCA. Send $15 per person (this includes tip) to Shirley Slattery, 136 Sykes Road, Seekonk, MA 02771.  Checks must be received no later than ?. 

If your plans change and you find that you can make it at the last minute, no reservations are required to attend the rendezvous.  You will be able to order dinner from the menu but the BBQ will not be available without payment in advance.

 A continental breakfast will be provided by OSCA on Sunday morning for those who attend the rendezvous.  We look forward to seeing you there.
