MARINERS OF PGI Wayne Sharp, Vice Commodore, 612-867-3017, vicecommodore@marinersofpgi.org

It is nice to finally get
past that cold Don Pedro Island Cruise
January weather and
the Bomb Cyclone
that produced frigid
temperatures in many
parts of the country.

The Mariners started out the New Year with six
boats anchored off Don Pedro Island,
celebrating the last of 2017 and the beginning of
2018 with good Mariner friends.

The cold weather did not keep one hardy
Mariner couple from going on a lunch cruise to
Harpoon Harry’s on January 6, even though the

Don Pedro Island Cruise

cruise was cancelled and others came by car! A few
other cruises were cancelled or delayed as well.

We also had January lunch cruises to Barnacle’s Island
Resort, Cabbage Key, Hurricane Charley’s and
Laishley Crab House, and an anchor-out at Don Pedro
Island.

Several Mariner women met at John Ski’s House of
Breakfast & Lunch for Breakfast with the Gals.

Our annual Change of Watch was
held at the Charlotte Harbor Yacht
Club to honor our 2017
Commodore, Chuck Pohle and the
board members, and to show
support for the incoming board
members. This is always a great
event with good food, dancing, and
entertainment.

If you are looking for a friendly and
active boating group, we invite you
to stop by and visit with us. Our
weekly happy hour get-together is
held at 5:30 p.m. every Wednesday
at the Village Fish Market in
Fishermen’s Village. You can also
check us out on our website at
