Friday night Kayaking
On Friday, June 14, Allison and Jeff Hankley graciously hosted us. Above is some video from the fun event! Thanks to Jim Waggoner for videotaping and editing and sharing this!
For upcoming kayaking events, Please remember to bring your favorite side dish, appetizer, or dessert to share, along with any drinks you'd like for the evening. Once you've dropped off your food, you can carry your kayaks to the left side of the house.
We're charting new waters this time, starting at the quarry and making our way to Creekside Park. Plus, we'll be kayaking right under the airport's flight path, which promises to add an extra thrill to our journey! And don't worry if you're still on the fence about kayaking; we'll have extra kayaks available for anyone eager to give it a try.
Looking forward to another great adventure on the water with all of you!
Please email Dave if you plan on attending, have questions or are checking on when our next Kayak night is.Â
It’s  that exciting time again to plan for our next concert in the park on June 21st. Our last gathering was a hit with 5 boats and a cheerful crowd of 25-30 people. Let's make the upcoming trip even more memorable! We're now accepting reservations, so if you're bringing your boat, please let me know the number of passengers you can accommodate.
We aim to create a comprehensive list early on to ensure everyone has a seat. Your prompt responses will greatly assist in this endeavor. If you're interested in joining this aquatic adventure and contributing to the symphony of waves and music, please email me back with your details.
Looking forward to another successful event on the water!

Some of the Boating activities planned for spring and summer
New Bern has a great concert series "Foot Loose  on the Neuse". We can tie up right off shore, and enjoy the concert from the comfort of your boat. If you don't have a boat we can find a spot on someone else's boat. "Friday night Sunset Kayaking" from my house. We have a few kayaks and stand up boards that you're welcome to use, as shown in these photos posted here!
We also have a group of sailors that are always looking for crew. No experience needed. Â If you have any ideas on what you would like to do let me (Dave Yasman) Â know.

The Boating Group Committee
Hello boaters and those interested in boating:
The Boating group is open to all members sharing an interest in boating. It includes those interested in sailing, powerboating, cruising, and fishing. We will meet for social events as well as outings. If you have an interest in boating but do not yet own a boat, this is an opportunity to connect with boatowners to experience boating on our great New Bern waterways!
The Boating Group is co-chaired by myself, Brad May (bradmay58@gmail.com) and Bob Davis (lesliebob@live.com). I am in the Alumni group and Bob is a Newcomer. I am a new sailor but there will be people interested in all forms of boating.

Boating safety class
Either I (Brad May) or our partners at New Bern Yacht Club will be scheduling a boating safety class through the USCG Auxiliary; details to follow. If you have or are considering a boat, you can often get a discount on insurance if you have completed such a course.
