Upon arrival to Avalon Harbor we will continue taking pictures. Feel free to take a few loops in front of the island. Check in and pay the harbor master for mooring assignment. Upon mooring you will call a shore boat to bring you to shore.

Registered attendees will be added to a group text 24 hours before the event. This has worked well for communications.
Mooring Information
Avalon Harbor does not pre-reserve moorings. However our relationship with the harbor master allows us to supply our registered participants for advance assignments. This speeds up the check-in process at the island. Since these dates are still the "off-season" there should be plenty of moorings available.
