July 4th Cruise to Cocoa Village for Fireworks (1-4 July) & Brevard Symphony Orchestra

Join us for the annual cruise to Cocoa Village to observe the fireworks display over the Indian River.  The cruise starts July 1 (it's a long weekend), but the main event is Tuesday, July 4.  You can anchor out, rent a slip at Cocoa Village Marina or come by car. We will be providing hot coals and grill for you to demonstrate your culinary skill at a pot luck dinner in the marina clubhouse.  Bring your main entree and drinks and a side dish to share with the group.  This year we must share the clubhouse with the Eau Gallie Yacht Club, but there should be plenty of room for both groups to have a relaxing time and enjoy dinner.  At dusk, we will adjourn to the main dock to set up our chairs to watch the fireworks.  Details in the Cruise Schedule below.

If you anchor out, you can use either the Cocoa Village Marina docks, or to visit Cocoa Village, use the public dingy docks which are to the south east of the boat ramps.  Avoid using the slips that are between the dingy docks and the pavilion area; they're reserved for power boats.

If you come by car, please park in the large lot in front of the clubhouse and not in the covered parking area. 

Try to make your slip reservations as early as possible  with Cocoa Village Marina Office (phone # 321-632-5445) and let them know you are with ECSA . 

Please sign up at the June meeting or email Bob (rwiley1@cfl.rr.com) that you at planning to attend so there are sufficient supplies for everyone
