New Orleans

Hi Fellow Sailors,

Im in NOLA next weekend (13th April for 5 days) as my partner has a conference to go to.

I see there are a few members here from NOLA and I am curious to what the sailing is like in that neck of the woods (Im from NZ).

Haven't got any firm plans yet but could be interested in a sail if anyone if after a excuse to hit the water.

Cheers

AG

Re: New Orleans

Hey AG,

We are from the area. If you think you'll be there until Wed evening the 18th that is the night of races for Orleans yacht club. I'm sure if you get to the docks before 6, you may catch a ride on someone's boat.

The same goes for this coming weekend, there may be some races going on or just people going for a cruise. We'll be out of town delivering a boat from Key West to Mexico otherwise we could have met up.

Good luck and enjoy the city!

Ha! I'm sure that would be welcomed! The address to New Orleans yacht club is:

New Orleans Yacht Club
403 N Roadway St, New Orleans, LA 70124
(504) 283-2581

https://goo.gl/maps/PF1QN8oPuoL2

I'll try to find out this week if there is anything going on in the lake, a few yacht clubs in the area. We leave for our delivery Fri, so I'll find out something for you. If not anything, I'll point you to some good eats around there (:
