Happy New Year to all - it's time to start organizing what will be our 8th trip with the group and our fourth to bear the name of our good friend Dominic. We are excited to be returning to Atlantic City and the folks over at Farley State Marina at the Golden Nugget are thrilled to have us back. Here's the vitals...
Date:Friday, July 8, 2016 - Sunday July 10, 2016
Place: Farley State Marina, Golden Nugget Casino Hotel, Atlantic City, NJ
Website and Info: Farley State Marina
Dock Layout: DOCKS
Our good buddy, Dockmaster Mr. Clyde Rawls, has left Farley and took a position managing a marina down in North Carolina. I did speak to his assistant Jessica, who has been there for several years and is familiar with our group. I confirmed this date with Jessica and reserved a block of slips. Once again, Rick (aka: mistercomputerman) and myself will be your co-cruise directors. We will also be assisted by Ken from the Berkeley Shores Homeowner's Civic Association. Ken was instrumental in helping us combine their annual trip to Atlantic City with our trip and without his help in organizing his group of about a dozen boats, we would have never had things go as smoothly as they did. The BSHCA is a great group of people from Dominic's neighborhood and it is a great pleasure to have their participation again this year.
As is the norm, I'll take PMs with boat name, length, beam, electrical requirements and captain's full name as I have to prepare a manifest for Farley State Marina. If you are boatless, please still consider attending and get a room in the hotel. We are going to have a few people who will come by land and air as well as by sea.
Don't worry about committing - you can cancel up to 48 hours before the arrival date. You will each have to call individually with your credit card info to reserve your slip, so just giving me your info does not reserve you a slip.
If you are unfamiliar with the format, we arrive at or around noon on Friday and start setting up for the "Table of the Gods" Friday evening. Most bring a finger-type food and a dessert but some will bring paper goods (cups, plates) and/or plastic silverware, trashbags, etc, which are very necessary items as well. This will all be pre-arranged. If you need some guidance, here's the vid from last year's trip...
AC 2015
THE NITTY GRITTY>>>>
1. We get a 15% discount on the slip rate - comes to $2.55/ft/day. Includes water, CATV & wireless internet. Electricity is $5/day per 30amp cord or $15/day per 50amp cord2. Check-in is 1pm. Hail on Channel 65 when you arrive. If you get there earlier and they have a spot, they will accommodate.
3. CANCELLATION: we can cancel the entire Rendezvous as long as we provide 14 days notice.
Each attendee may cancel with 48 hours notice. Without 48 hours notice, you will be charged for one night's slip fee
4. By their rule, I have to submit the boat info to them and then you follow up with you credit card info to reserve the slip. If you don't call with your credit card, you will not have a reserved slip.
5. There is a new DockMaster this year so for now, I will assume that the points above are still the same. If there are any changes I will post updates.
