Subject: Cruise Marina Update No. 1
From: Bob Giles, Fleet Captain



To all our SYC Members,
 
During this off-season, many marinas effectively shut down their marina offices and staff that would otherwise give immediate feedback to inquiries.
 
Such is the case with Otter Bay Marina, through no fault of theirs, have offered additional feedback to our request for a group reservations at their marina for July 19-21. Although they will not start assigning reservations until April 1, they will start placing incoming reservation requests in order, then assigning reservations based on first-come, first-served.
 
Therefore, I suggest all SYC participants interested in attending the Otter Bay Marina Cruise Event July 19-21 to immediately make their reservations. Here is the website address I used to easily make my reservation:
 
otterbay-marina.ca
 
Furthermore, I would suggest you review your 2026 Expanded Cruise Schedule and contact other marinas you're interested in attending, through their websites, to make your timely reservations. Afterwards, on our SYC website, go to Events / 2026 Cruises and locate the Cruise Event on our calendar to register yourself and others on your vessel. Registration is required.
 
Best wishes in your 2026 Cruising Season,
 
Bob Giles
