All of our sails are wonderful outings because of the veterans who join us. But yesterday's sail was EXTRA special. Our afternoon sail turned into a whale watching tour ⛵🐳🇺🇸

Cheer on Clover’s First Outing with Veterans Aboard on America’s 250th!
On the 4th of July, you’re invited to join us for a special gathering to witness Clover depart from the guest dock with veterans aboard for the very first time, marking America’s 250th anniversary in a meaningful and memorable way.
Your registration grants access to the Clubhouse, where food and drinks will be provided. From there, you’ll have an excellent vantage point to watch Clover’s departure and to welcome her return to the dock.
We hope you can be part of the new chapter of VetsBoats on the 250th.
If you’re unable to attend but would still like to support the mission, donations are always welcome and deeply appreciated.
Details and registration can be found here:
