Remember that we changed the cook-out to Saturday night this year. Nothing is planned for Friday night, so, you are free to do whatever. Again, the Gwinnett Braves (Atlantas AAA Farm Team) play Friday night just a few miles from the lake. Cheap entertainment if you like baseball. You can get more information about this from the Gwinnett Braves website. There are plenty of eateries (sports bars, drive-ins, etc.) around the Hwy 316 & Hwy 120 intersection. If you go north on I-85 or Buford Dr past the AAA baseball stadium, there is a major shopping complex (Mall of Georgia) with more formal dining, movie theaters and, of course, a shopping mall.
The skippers meeting Saturday starts promptly at 9:00 am, so dont get too crazy Friday night.
Saturday night is the cook-out at the Allen house. We are having a low country boil in the Atlanta hills. The get-together is very informal. Jeans, shorts, t-shirts, tennis shoes, etc. is the norm. Doors open at 6:30 with drinks and a few snacks. The boil should be ready sometime around 7:00 7:15.
Please be careful driving to our regatta. Spring break for most of the Atlanta schools is coming to an end and The Masters crowd may be driving through Atlanta to see Tiger and all those other golfers. Traffic could be a bit heavy.
Call me if you have any problems at (678) 773-8210.
See you Saturday morning!
