Fishing Trip & Island Hopping by Boat

Friday, April 10, 2026

Fully booked! This beautiful "day" on the water, out in nature, is subject to weather. Unless you hear otherwise, the trip will start at 8:30 am sharp and will run for approximately four hours. Help catch dinner for that evening's Fish Fry, learn about the various surrounding barrier islands, take in the incredible nature in this area of Florida known as Nature's Coast, and frolic on a secluded beach. The captains will provide water and will have a cooler if you need to keep other drinks cold. Ben from 1842 Daily Grind will provide boxed lunches for those who have ordered, and they will be at the boat ramp at the marina waiting for you. Do not forget your bag, sunscreen, hat, flip-flops, towel, sunglasses, and a ziplock bag for your cell phone. (Dramamine?) Boat A: Carter, Sarah, Susan & Luis, Jeff & Deb Boat B: Martin, Tom & Abbie, Michael, Scott Boat C: Anna & Yuly, Elena & Carlos, Dana

Scavenger Hunt

Friday, April 10, 2026
3:30 PM–5:30 PM
Attire: Casual
Dace's sister, Jolie Davis, will be setting up a scavenger hunt around Cedar Key. In addition to being loads of competitive fun, this will enable those of you who haven't gotten around yet to see different parts of the island. You'll need a golf cart to get around so, if you don't have one, then team up with someone who does! Meet at 649 2nd Street (Jolie's house) at 3:30 pm for instructions before the starter's gun goes off. In case you don't want to wear your dinner outfit on the hunt, you'll have a little time to change for dinner, unless you get "stuck" at Bonishes (one of the local bars). Hunt until you win, quit, or 5:30 pm!
