Ahoy OSCA,
In just over 7 weeks we begin the 2025 OSCA Summer Cruise (July 19-27).
This itinerary has been designed to allow various levels of participation. Whether you want to join the fleet for the Bon Voyage Dinner, sail only as far as Point Judith or Block Island, or go all the way to Shelter Island, NY (and back); there is something for everyone!
In response to member feedback for greater access, the fleet will convene in Cranston at the RIYC. Starting in Cranston allows more people to take part even if they are unable to participate for the entire 9 days adventure. Saturday night is the Bon Voyage Dinner (location TBD) where we share excitement about the upcoming trip and revel in memories of the many epic OSCA Summer Cruises of yore. All OSCAns are invited to the Bon Voyage Dinner. Boat reservations at RIYC are available on DOCKWA or you can drive to the dinner. Once we know the right headcount, we will finalize dinner plans for an early event (tentatively 4:00pm- 7:00pm)
Please RSVP by June 15th.
The attached workbook has all of the times and distances for our journey. 10 boats expressed interest in the initial poll for the Summer Cruise. If you are still contemplating joining the fleet for all or part of the itinerary, register on the website and contact Fleet Captain Jerry with your intentions or questions. The Summer Cruises are all about togetherness and stretching your sailing confidence, so let Jerry know how the 2025 Summer Cruise can work into your busy summer.
Hope to see you soon in Cranston!
