Volleyball + Water Park = FUN

The Volleyball group (MWF 9am) has made a snap decision to take a trip
Wednesday -- two days hence -- to the Caduano Water Park, to play
V-ball and picnic and do the water-slide thang. We want to invite
todos, V-ball players, friends, and well, anyone who's been looking
for an excuse to check out the Water Park, to join us. We will meet
Wed at 9:30 in the vicinity of Buzzard's, and head out from there.
Best, Jeff Davis

a. It’s going to be an AWESOME day on Thursday, and we’re looking for friends to join Carlee Rauber on a ‘Too Awesome’ Coast Cruise to the remote and azure Bay of Dreams and the exclusive Gran Sueno Resort restaurant. The Sea of Cortez is the world’s aquarium, so along the way we’ll look for whales, dolphins, manta rays, and stop for a snorkel to see the abundant reef fish enjoying a busy spring below the surface in front of Cardonal. It’ll be light and variable winds with smooth seas, so jump aboard for a beautiful day, starting with fresh fruit smoothies and donuts. $60 per person including gratuity; lunch at the ‘Train Restaurant’ is in addition at approximately $10. Please call Theresa at 14-10231, email combertheresa@hotmail.com  or visit our headquarters at the East Cape RV Resort behind Otra Vez Restaurant.
