The weekend of November 13th found seven RPYC boats heading for the protected waters of Bimini Basin for the annual November raft up. With a promising forecast , great company and good food and drink involved, the prospects of a fun weekend were high. The raft came together smoothly with no problems at all and the fun began. Friday was heavy hors’deouvres nite and was the spread impressive!  A few cordials were had and the stories started! Saturday the rafters awoke to the aroma of fresh coffee, pancakes  and sausages with Bloodies and Screwdrivers  to help wash things down. After breakfast, we were on our own, so some went dinking, some went to shore via the shuttle boat and others just relaxed. The shuttle ferried folks that came to visit and some to stay for dinner.
Cocktails led to a dinner of pulled pork sandwiches, cole slaw, potato salad and baked beans.  There was much more conversation and more cocktails which let the stories flow.
Sunday was a pastry breakfast and a relaxing read of the Sunday paper. Around 10 or so, the raft started to break up and good byes were said with all looking forward to the next Bimini Basin Raft Up.
