The IRB Boat Club will once again converge on Marina Cantina for cocktails and dinner on Saturday, August 19th. Marina Cantina is the casual restaurant inside the Clearwater Beach Marina Building owned by Baystar Restaurants. Come by trolley, car or boat. If you come by boat, radio the Dock Master on Channel 16 and he will give you a free slip for a few hours or there are a couple of reserved slips in front of the restaurant for customers.
We will first meet at 4pm, when they open, on the top deck for “Boat Drinks” and appetizers. Then around 5pm we will move down to Level 4 for dinner in air-conditioned comfort. We did this last year and had a great time.
Please RSVP by Friday, August 18 either to IRBboatclub@gmail.com, or call me at 430-8300.
