Buffet, and will be featuring a variety of specials each weekend.
During the 2012 Racing Season the Sea Scouts will be providing
galley service from 5-7 pm before the Wednesday night races. So
support the Sea Scouts and that’s one less meal to cook & do the
dishes. You don’t have to be a racer to enjoy an evening and good

paradise!!!!
