The Fern Ridge Spring Messabout is held the weekend before Memorial Day on Fern Ridge Reservoir near Eugene. The main event will be a gathering on the beach at Shorelane Park on Saturday, starting about 11:00, but many of us will come Friday and make a weekend of it, camping at Richardson Park, or sleeping in our boats at the marina at Richardson Park or anchored out.
The Triton Yacht Club Derring-Do Dinghy Dash, "The Race for the Cake!", will be finishing at the Messabout picnic Saturday. It'll be fun!
