There is a cruise in October

Of Pirates, Witches and Jokers

There are ghouls aboard

Who’ll carve up a gourd

And take prizes away when it’s over

Yup, it’s that time again ghouls and buoys. Time for the annual Columbia River Halloween Cruise on Sand Island at St. Helen’s, Oregon . This year the cruise will take place on October 20^th and 21^st. There will be contests, and prizes, for best pumpkin carving, best costumes (kids, adults, and pets), best decorated boats, best presentation on the Haunted Halloween Walk, and best appetizers. And of course, there will be Trick or Treating on the docks. Add to all of this the camaraderie inherent in the boating community, and participants are sure to have a great weekend of mirth and merriment. And everyone gets a 2011 participant ribbon!

The Halloween Cruise is a non-sponsored event. It doesn’t matter what club you belong to, or whether you belong to one at all. Come to St. Helen’s on October 20^th and 21^st, and you’re sure to find friends and fun all weekend long. Even when it rains, we tend to have 80 or more boats show up, clubs sponsoring booths on the Haunted Halloween Walk, great meals prepared by the St. Helen’s Yacht Club and the Power Squadrons, and tons of people having boat loads of funs.

Docking assistance will continue to be available on VHF channel 72 until 2 PM Saturday afternoon.
