Date: Saturday July 1st, 2017

Requirements: You MUST get to the posted coordinates of the event in order to properly attend this event. Event hosts can no longer require you to sign an event log but you must be in attendance in order to log this event as Attended. Attendance from shore will NOT be allowed.
So grab your boat or find a place to rent one. Be sure to get underway ON TIME as the flotilla will only be hanging around for about an hour. Rumor has it that there are plenty of rental boats nearby. If you need to rent, be sure to factor standing in line into your schedule.
Earn a souvenir from Groundspeak for your geocaching profile by attending this event.
NOTE: Motorized boats are NOT allowed on Lake Calhoun. Any reference to boat implies canoe, kayak, paddleboat, or some other non-motorized waterborne vehicle. Don't bring your ski boat or fishing boat and expect to make it to GZ. I was informed that electric motors are allowed on the lake but I am not sure about the details.. so bring your electric motor boat at your own risk.
NOTE: Sunscreen, bring it.
