A group of us will be going on Sunday for sure
It is a new activity on the agenda so others might form groups and go there on Saturday too
This will just need to be determined based on interest once everyone has arrived and had the chance to talk among each other

I've been signed up for the last two boat cruises and I gave up both of them to be right where you are... It wouldn't surprise me if I end up drinking with you and missing the boat again.

Alcohol is allowed on the sunset cruise
Bring anything you want and drink as much as you like
Just remember we have a 10 minute drive back to the lodge after sunset
Only 5 spots left

Thought I would share the following routes for those that would be interested in going to a local winery (Victoria Valley Vineyards) in SC near NC border. Anywhere from a 2-2.5 hour drive depending on which route you'd take. Winery is a favorite of ours - has a nice deli to grab something to eat.
Drive down Moonshiner 28 to Highlands and then turning east on 64 is a challenging drive.

A couple things have conspired to scuttle our participation in this falls Dragon. I hope everyone has a great time, and by all means keep it safe my friends.

Second Boat Reserved
Fontana Dam Sunset Cruise - Saturday Evening Only
OK, I got the second and only other boat reserved for our group
It is a smaller boat and can only take 10 passengers
You are allowed to bring your own drinks on the boat
It will depart at the same time as the other boat already full.
The cost is $20 per person Cash or Cerdit/Debit
You will be required to be present in the lobby in Fontana Lodge at 5:00pm on Saturday
We will leave promptly at 5:15 to go to the Marina only a few minutes away and purchase our tickets and then board the boat for a 6pm sunset cruise
The cruise lasts about 90 minutes and then we return to the lodge for a nice dinner together if you wish.
I have added the names of those who have requested the sunset cruise since the first boat was filled
First come first serve - Post here or send me a PM
