Calling All Young Captains

Pikes Bay Marina, in conjunction with Sea Scout Ship 336, will host a Young Captains Boater Safety Day on Saturday, July 23 from 10 am to 2 pm. Learning stations will include Buoy Recognition, Knot Tying, Aquatic Invasive Species, Hypothermia, Marine Radio Communication and a Dry Land SCUBA Demonstration.

Registration begins at 9:30 a.m. at the Pikes Bay Clubhouse. Join the fun for this interactive program of learning, games, prices and a FREE Hot Dog Lunch. 

Nature and Nurture

As Pikes Bay Boaters, we all have taken advantage of the Brownstone Trail between Bayfield and Pikes Bay. The Brownstone Trail, along with many other land projects, is the result in part of the efforts of the Bayfield Regional Conservancy (BRC).

Would you like to hear more about the BRC and what they are doing to protect nature while nurturing your self with friends and good food?

Then Please Come to the Bayfield Regional Conservancy's Annual Meeting and Celebration of Land!

When? Wednesday, July 20, 6-8 pm

Where? The lovely Pike's Bay Marina Club House.

What? Learn about current and upcoming BRC projects and join in a pot luck dinner. Contact the BRC office at 779-5263 with any questions or to RSVP.

Buggspray Insect Repellent

Buggspray Insect Repellent is now available in both the Ships Store and at the Fuel Dock.

We have both the Fly and Mosquito spray in stock. The Fly Repellent contains 25% DEET plus 2 fly repellents with NO FRAGRANCE.

This composite formula effectively repels: stable flies (ankle-biters), no-see-ums, deer flies, horse flies and black flies.

For use when the biting flies get thick (because plain DEET doesn't work).

We also have Bugslayer for spiders aboard your boat. Give it a try.

We invite you to become a FAN on the Pikes Bay Facebook page.  John Cory has been doing a great job with our page and regularly post photos and videos on marina activities.
