JIMMY BUFFET'S

PARROTHEAD GETAWAY

AT CALADESI ISLAND

24-26 APRIL 2009

 

It's that time again!  Time to break out your Jimmy Buffet T-shirt and your parrothead hat - we are going to Caladesi Island.  This is a boating event that you will not want to miss.  The Chamberlains and Eibachs are hard at work making plans for a great weekend.  We presently have eleven boats signed up plus 13 coming by Iron Dinghy.

Arriving by Boat:

Heading north on the ICW, north of Clearwater and just south of the Dunedin Causeway Bridge turn to port at Channel Marker 14.  A short way down on your left look for a sign to Caladesi.  Take a 212 degree heading from the sign for 1 mile to the park entrance sign.  Once in the Caladesi Channel call MISS EVIE on VHF channel 71 for slip assignment.  

Friday: 

Cocktail party on dock: Bring an hors d'oeuvre to share

Dinner:  Potluck dinner.  Bring a dish to share.

Saturday:

We will have lunch at the southern pavilion at 1330.  A fee of $5.00 will be charged (per person) for Jimmy Buffet cheeseburgers in Paradise, potato salad, coleslaw, chips and drinks.  You can't beat that!

1430 - Shell hunt on the beach and Trivia Contest

Dinner:  May use pavilion to grill meat.

Iron Dinghy:

The ferry to Caladesi runs every half hour from 1000 to 1630.  You may stay only 4 hours.  If you take the 1230 ferry you will have time to join us for lunch, beach time, games and catch the 1630 ferry back.

Entrance to park is $5.00 per car, up to 8 people so it is best to car pool.  The ferry ride cost $10.00 pp and if you saved your coupon, it will only cost you $8.00.

Driving Directions:

Take US19 or 19A North to Curlew Road.  Turn West on Curlew and follow the road across Dunedin Causeway Bridge.  Stay on road to park entrance. 

Reservations  for lunch are a must!  We will need a head count so we know how much food to buy. Call Bill or Evie Eibach at 727-525-0968 or email weibach at tampabay.rr.com to make your reservations.

We hope to see everyone there!
