What a great day yesterday, Martin Rivera came by and delivered gift bags and spent time talking with some of our vets. Martin runs a nonprofit traveling the country visiting VFWs and veterans homes talking with vets and spending time with them. Jess had a great turnout for her paint and sip party. Then we got a visit from JC, and was glad to see him come by and spend some time with us. Another good weekend, look forward to seeing you all come see us, and until then may all your drinks be Boat Drinks.

Good afternoon campers, Happy Friday and welcome to the weekend. Its defiantly after 5 O'clock on the east coast so you all are off and hopefully into your first or second Boat Drink to start off the weekend. Just a quick note to let all of our followers know that we have begun our summer raffle. Tickets are $10 a piece with a maximum of 250 tickets sold. The prize is a Smith and Wesson M&P 9 Pistol. The drawing for the winner will take place on 22 Aug 2026 at our monthly all you can eat breakfast. You DO NOT let me repeat that, DO NOT HAVE to be present to win. Ticket buyers MUST BE 18 years of age. Question time? Where can i buy tickets??? Several of our officers have tickets in their possession for sale, also you can come buy the Canteen and purchase tickets there. If there are no more questions, then I will sign off cause I gotta go where its warm, and until we meet again may all your drinks be, Boat Drinks.
