An annual tradition at VYC: We meet at El Coral Restaurant on Las Animas beach for Christmas. There is usually good cellular coverage so you can send those "On the beach in Mexico" photos to your friends and family that are stuck in the snow. The drinks and food are good, the prices reasonable, and the people watching is great. Plan to stake out your bit of beach before 11:15. Bring a towel, bug goop, a smile, and some pesos, it's a great day!
Many boats welcome extra passengers - this year we would like to see 75-100 people! No need to be formal - we have been invading the beach at Las Animas for years! Use the VHF net on 22a for rides wanted / offered.
