End-of-Summer Island Party

Saturday, September 22nd, 2012

What a way to usher out the summer…with great weather, good food, the best partiers in all IRB (important designation), a wonderful sunset and, for the first time this year, live music (special thanks to the Peter Hill Band!) on an island away from it all! If it gets any better, we don’t want to know about it!

The Boat Club partied till the sun went down on Three Rooker Island! Oh…if the dog could only talk!

Oh say can you see what a great time was had by all 50 who celebrated Independence Day on One Tree Island. At dusk, most of the 11 boats in attendance relocated closer to the Clearwater Causeway for the big show in the sky.

A small-but-mighty crowd partied at the Bait House in Clearwater Beach!

No text necessary. The pictures tell the story of what a great day was had by all enjoying the wonderful fare and hospitality of the Salt Rock Grill!

So much trash…so little time! Members of the IRB Boat Club set out to clean up as much of the Intracoastal Waterway as possible. The effort, which happens twice a year, is spearheaded by Club President Bob Griffin. Our group adopted the small island at the end of IRB as our personal island and has taken responsibility to keep it clean on a regular basis.

If the Boat Club’s first outing of the year at The Pub is any indication, we’re off to a great year. Thanks to the staff at The Pub for a great time and to the U.S. Coast Guard Auxiliary for providing free safety checks for our members! Great docks, wonderful weather, tasty food and beverages. Does it get any better?
