Water Lovers’ Mixer at Oakcliff Sailing

Apr24

This has become the unofficial kickoff of the season for all interested in marine activities. Members of the greater boating public have traveled from Manhasset to Northport and from Sayville to Centre Island to make connections, share experiences, enjoy the hotdogs and snacks, and energize themselves for the summer ahead. The mission of one of the primary founding partners, Friends of the Bay, is to preserve, protect and restore our waters. We are excited to welcome EOM Electric and bioaqualife® to the party. They will educate boat owners and marina operators about their environmentally friendly products, electric outboard motors and biodegradable shrink wrap
