Spring is here!

Well, Spring is definitely here! The weather this week has been unbelievable. Let's hope that May is just as nice! Some of the best boating and fishing occurs this time of year.

The Bass River bouys are in south of the bridge, not sure whether it's Dennis or Yarmouth dragging their heels on the ones north of the bridge!

We spent a good 2 hours out last night just as the wind, which had been blowing hard out of the east all day, decided to take a break.

We were just going to hit the end of the river and back, but it was such a nice late afternoon, that we made a run up to Hyannis Harbor and back. Capt. Hurricane Bob and I took some members on their initial training and they sure did seem to enjoy it. More trips are already planned!

Check back often to see what's new at Bass River Marina and Freedom Boat Club!

Though Boating was too expensive, think again!

Out on the Water... Finally!

Well, as the title says, we finally got out on the water today! The weather was beautiful - bright sky, very little wind, with the temp pushing 60.

The marina channel markers were put in earlier this week, however the rest of the river which are done by the towns of Dennis and Yarmouth are still not in. There are a bunch stacked up at the Yarmouth town slips just south of the Bass River Bridge, so I would expect them to be going in soon.

Regardless, Bud and I decided to take the 232 Coastal out for a quick spin around 2 pm. She handled like a beauty, and we managed to stay in the deep water, even without the markers! Thanks Bud for the lesson! Hopefully we can get out again this week!

More and more boats continue to hit the slips each day, and the boating season is fast upon us!

Check back soon.

Dock Staff set for the season!

Hi all. I am happy to say that the Dock Masters for the upcoming season are already in place! We have a great crew of 4 avid boaters.

Let's give a warm welcome to Steve Bodak, Pat Vacca, Bud Bearse and Bob Markowski! These gents will be the welcoming face of Freedom Boat Club, helping you and your guests on and off the boats and helping you plot your course for the day. All are avid boaters, and either own or used to own a boat.

You all will surely get to know them well this summer!

Stay tuned....

An Open House Success! Plus 3rd Boat Purchased!

Thanks to everyone who attended our first Open House this past weekend! Saturday was a beautiful, sunny day, although a bit chilly, but attendance was still tremendous! We're already at 9 members closed and should hit 10 or 12 by the end of the week!

For those who missed it, we had our 2 boats out for all to see and climb aboard. We plan to do our second Open House the weekend of April 19th and 20th, hopefully with the boats in the water.

The plan is to splash two of our boats this week, maybe even tomorrow!

Also, we just purchased our third boat - a 25 foot center console. It's a 252 Wellcraft Fisherman Tournament Edition with a 225 Yamaha! This boat will be a real workhorse that will satisfy the fishing members.

I know I has said that we were going to get a cruiser next, but this boat was too good to pass up! The cruiser will be in the next couple of weeks!

Thanks for reading! Stay tuned...
