Swimming Pool Cruiser Potlucks (BBQ Island)
9° 35.4′ N · 78° 40.4′ W · approximate
A long-running cruiser tradition: crews from across the archipelago gather at sunset on the island beside the Swimming Pool for potluck dinners, bonfires and volleyball.
Practical
Coordinate approximate (BBQ Island beside the Swimming Pool waypoint). In 2002 the Monday-night get-together started at 5 pm on 'Potluck Island' (Cruising World). Spirit of Argo joined an Easter Sunday potluck in 2016; Walkabout ate and played volleyball on BBQ Island with other ARC boats in 2023. Days change: listen on VHF 72 and the morning nets. The caretaker family may charge a small landing fee; bring your own plates and take rubbish home.
